Intimacy Levels
Level 1
Holding hands/Affectionate touching
Compliments/confessing love
Low-description kissing
Tender embraces/cuddling
Blushing and sighing
Non-descriptive discussions of sex
Established relationships
Fade to black if married
Any sexual encounters from past only referred to, not described or on-screen
Level 2
Touch that signals attraction
No touching in underwear zone
Long kisses, lightly descriptive
Deeper kisses, tongue implied not described
Feel warm/flushed
Gasping, deep sighs, light growls and groans
Thinking/speaking about desire non-descriptive
Fade to black for established relationships after a scene that matches this level – but may be unpopular if not married
Level 3
Hands moving, still not in underwear zone
French kiss with tongue described
Make-out sessions still follow guidelines
Feel hot, sweating
Heavier gasping, groaning, deep growls, panting
More frantic and lose some control
Male shirt may come off, but nothing else
Leg may straddle waist, but no mention of arousal
If they lay down together anywhere, use little description of contact/moving
May happen in a bedroom or on a bed, but should be interrupted or end with fade to black scene. Keep focus on the emotion.
Fade to black should still happen between married couples or at the end of the book between engaged/committed couples.
