on Jul 6th, 2011 Behind Closed Doors
I was recently asked what the major driving force of inspiration was behind my writing. There are many things that influence me; overheard conversations, musical lyrics, friend’s fantasies; but at the very back of all that is a basic curiosity- a curiosity that always wants to know what is going on behind closed doors.
Not that I’m an eye to the keyhole sort of person (like Maggie in my story Through the Crack; Quick Kink Two). Nor would there be any point in me jamming my ear to the crack in the door (I’m deaf as a post); it’s more that I can’t stop my imagination from filling in the blanks.
What could the top floor of a nearby hotel really contain? Is it full of nice normal bedrooms, in which tired out members of the business community can crash after a meeting? Or is it, as in my latest e-novel, The Perfect Submissive, a hotbed of private services and kinky sex?
When you see a sign on a lift saying ‘staff only’ where does that lift actually take you? When they announce over the loud speakers in the shop or club ‘Would a member of staff come to the storeroom,’ what happens when they get there? Are they sold to aliens for experimentation? Is there some erotically eccentric Sheik waiting to whisk them away to his harem? I always hope they aren’t just going to do something as dull as unpack boxes. I want them to have as much fun as the bar girls, and the young man they lure into their storeroom, in my story Break Time (The Collector)
When you meet a stranger on the train; a stranger who catches your eye and sends your pulse racing- what would happen if you asked them out? Would you have coffee, maybe visit the cinema- or would you find yourself in the backroom of an exclusive club, doing sexually interesting things you hadn’t ever dreamt about, like the lead character in my story Black? (Yes Ma’am)
So basically I’m nosily inquisitive- but only for what might happen- not for what really is happening- it’s far more fun that way!!

If you need to find Kay on any weekday morning, then she’s usually to be found in the far corner of her favourite cafe, with a large black coffee in one hand, and a ballpoint pen in the other.
After five years of compiling stories and poems, and reviewing other people’s work, she says without doubt, that there is NO going back. Once writing has you in its power you are at its mercy for life. It doesn’t pay well, it leads to constant disappointment, and it takes over every other thing you do – but when the publisher says “Yes,” and the occasional unexpected royalty cheque arrives in the post, it suddenly all seems worthwhile, and I love it!!
You can find more information on Kay’s website: http://www.kayjaybee.me.uk. She’s also on Facebook and Twitter.

If I had to pick, I would definately say that I would be a voyeur.
I am way too shy to be an exhibitionist.
by June M. July 6th, 2011 at 12:56 amWhat a great site- thanks for the feature today guys! Kay Jaybee xx
by Kay Jaybee July 6th, 2011 at 5:08 ami am much more of a voyeur than an exhibitionist. Your books sound great, am off to look more :)

by Kris M. July 6th, 2011 at 5:43 amThanks Kris- I am also something of a voyeur. The novel I’m working on at the moment is entirely centred around a voyeur and the games he orcestrates to get his kicks. KJB x
by Kay Jaybee July 6th, 2011 at 6:49 amThanks so much for visiting the Smutketeers today-we’re happy to have you! Love your thoughts on peeking into other people’s lives-even if it’s all in your imagination.
by Eden Bradley-Eve Berlin July 6th, 2011 at 8:47 amEden/Eve :)
Oh gosh, I would have to say an voyeur, I prefer to blend into the woodwork *L*
by JeanP July 6th, 2011 at 11:05 amI am way too shy to ever be an exhibistionist. I am definitely a voyeur.

by Danielle Gorman July 6th, 2011 at 11:14 amI would consider myself a voyeur. I love to sit sit outside at an outdoor cafe or restaurant, watching the people walk by and wonder about their lives and what is going on in their heads.

by Mary A Pitzer July 6th, 2011 at 11:44 amYou’ve welcome Eden!
I’m def a sitting outside of a cafe watching the world go by sort of a gal. I get so many story ideas from just people watching. KJB x
by kay jaybee July 6th, 2011 at 12:26 pmAfter seeing that Eden suggested these I had to jump on your site and WOW – these are right up my alley :) now as far as voyeur or an exhibitionist… when I was younger I was an exhibitionist for sure now that I’m a lil older Voyeur for sure with a lil bit of something else in there too :)
by Dawn July 6th, 2011 at 6:25 pmI’m way to insecure to be an exhibitionist so voyeur for me please! lol

by KittyKelly July 6th, 2011 at 6:57 pmOh please kittykelly…I remember your LITTLE tutu at RT, are you sure you’re not an exhibitionist? You looked very cute by the way.
I’m a voyeur but with a little alcohol anything is possible. Best of luck with your releases.
Dana…. danameve@yahoo.com
by Dana July 6th, 2011 at 7:19 pmDefinitely a voyeur. Watching – whether it’s sexual or plain old people watching is a favourite activity of mine.
Kay – you’re a new author to me – and your books sound fab! Oh noes – more books for my TBR list.
Katherine.
by Katherine July 6th, 2011 at 8:52 pmkatherine.ogrady at gmail.com
Tough crowd…voyeur or an exhibitionist? I know I am a little of both BUT I lean more on the voyeur…nothing turns me on more than watching a man do anything, eat, sleep or handle his cock (ok can we say cock here?) *grin*
one finger tip
dare I dip
better than wine
taste is devine
Ah yes to share in secret pleasures
Lori was here…she’s watching you

by Lori July 7th, 2011 at 3:01 amDamn Dana you called me right on out didn’t you! lol :) I suppose I was on display just that one night though lol well and Fairy Ball night but that’s it!
KittyKelly
by KittyKelly July 7th, 2011 at 3:21 amSeems we have a bit of a debate going here! So glad you all like the sound of my books- there is a far mix of voyeuristic and non- voyeuristic tales tucked between the pages of each one.
by Kay Jaybee July 7th, 2011 at 3:43 amI think my fav of all the voyeur stories I’ve written is in The Collector- it is called ‘Watching’
I really can’t imagine an erotic author not having at least a little streak of voyeur in her, even if it’s just people watching. For me, what I see, no matter how little, coupled with what I can imagine can be hot enough to fry my circuits. All it takes is a dirty mind and a keen sense of observation. And Kay Jaybee illustrates that perfectly in ‘The Collector.’

by K D Grace July 7th, 2011 at 7:06 amBless you KD- there is a lot of truth in that. I couldn’t write if I didn’t observe life so carefully. Sometimes I feel quite detached from the reality of it all- just sat back in my own little bubble ‘kinkyfying’ everything!! x
by Kay Jaybee July 7th, 2011 at 7:09 amLori-we’re the Smutketeers-you can say anything here. :)
by Eden Bradley-Eve Berlin July 7th, 2011 at 9:12 amKD-I totally agree! And I think all writers are people watchers, to some degree.
Loving this discussion! Since I’m one of your hosts, Kay, I’m not entering your contest, but I’m definitely both voyeur and exhibitionist-and, as Dawn said, a bit of something else-lol! And I may have to buy Dana a drink next time I see her…*G*
Thanks Eden! I have never had such a good response from a blog- a very friendly site you have here! KJB x
by Kay Jaybee July 7th, 2011 at 9:37 amWell, as Dawn mentioned, your books are right up some of our reader’s alley-this is a kinky bunch, so you’re a perfect fit. Obviously we’re all VERY excited to have you here! :)
by Eden Bradley-Eve Berlin July 7th, 2011 at 9:49 amThanks honey- very kind. Can never argue with kinky!
by Kay Jaybee July 7th, 2011 at 9:51 amI’m a voyeur, I am an author after all and I love to watch people and to wonder, just like you Kay, what goes on behind closed doors and in people’s minds.
But If I have to choose I am definitely an Exhibitionist. I love the idea of being watched or maybe being caught…basically I want to be the centre of attention! *grins*
by Victoria Blisse July 7th, 2011 at 9:53 amI would say I’m More a voyeur. Get a few drinks in me and that may change.

by JoAnna B July 7th, 2011 at 11:50 amHi Kay :)
The cover for Yes Ma’am is fanastic! I love your idea of where does the staff elevator go etc. I’m more of a voyer who LOVES to touch but I like to be an exhibitionist too.
Mindy :)
by Mina Gerhart July 7th, 2011 at 2:05 pmBirdsooong@aol.com
Thanks Mindy – I played with the idea of lifts in The Perfect Submissive. One of these day’s I’ll do something else about lifts…
by kay jaybee July 7th, 2011 at 2:10 pmI would have to say I’m a voyeur! On the other hand if I were a little more comfortable with my body (show of hands from everyone who feels the same) I’d give exhibitionism a shot!
by Jessie July 7th, 2011 at 3:31 pmProbably more of a voyeur. But only just a little. I am so shy I could never be an exhibitionist!

i love to watch! People, situations, imagination is my best friend. I like to listen too. As Ray Parker Jr says, “I want to bang on the walls, rock on the floor, I want to party, like the people next door. I wanna wake up the neighbors at quarter to 4, I wanna party like the people next door” I don’t mind being the one making the noise as long as nobody can tell it’s me.
