On rivers and adventure rides, in museums, offices and cemeteries, the authors of adult fiction are really throwing themselves into their 'research', it seems

My inbox heaves with surveys these days – recent efforts include Heathcliff and Miss Havisham being voted literature's most haunting characters in a poll commissioned by a TV channel, the news that "dancing is the third most popular career choice for young boys, just behind doctor and footballer", and 40% of children apparently not knowing that Harry Potter was originally a character from a book.
I've stumbled across an early contender for survey of the year, however, thanks to those observant folk at MobyLives - a poll of erotica authors about their sex lives. It turns out they're doing it all over the place – on horseback, "on the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney World. Please let them have destroyed the security tape!", in a canoe, at the Louvre and in a cemetery.
The Fussy Librarian website surveyed 103 erotica authors last month, and discovered they are as wild and crazy as the characters in their books. According to the Fussy Librarian, these authors are having more threesomes, practising more BDSM – 41% of erotica authors have given it a whirl, compared to less than 20% of Americans – and they just love doing it outside (84% of erotica writers have had sex al fresco, compared to 54% of Americans as a whole).
