As a writer and reader, I recently discovered the word 'sexcerpt'. In the words of writer Storm Stone, the meaning of 'sexcerpt' is; "An excerpt of a longer story, containing just the sexy bits. Many readers admit to doing it - skip through the 'boring parts' to get to the steamy scenes. Well a sexcerpt does that for you - it takes you straight to those sensual highlights, and hopefully, will entice you to read the whole story."

In her interview on smashwords.com, Storm Stone is asked; "Why did you decide to publish this 'sexcerpt' from your Casual Car Series?" Her answer: "In today's world some readers just want to read a short, steamy story. Instant gratification. They don't want to invest time in anything more. Not knowing that the more we invest in the full story - the agony as well as the ecstasy - the more we may discover and enjoy. Until, one day, we're reading the whole book, every word - for the second time - it's that good."

Firstly, I think it's a great new word that's actually quite useful, and secondly,I like her idea that, hopefully, it will entice people to invest more time in reading..
