Richard Morgan on writing gay sex...

"But I'm straight, and actually fairly conventional in my sexual behaviour, and there is only so much extrapolating you can do for scenes like these before you find yourself in completely alien waters. So I wrote and re-wrote and brooded and went back and re-wrote again, and brooded some more and re-wrote and finally passed it on to a gay friend for comment, and was very relieved when he told me it passed muster."
