So, I was reading a story on Tumblr by someone whose username shall remain unknown. It was very well written with dynamic word choice and good flow.
And then we got to a sex scene.
I have no problem reading sex scenes; in fact, I find them interesting and way more accessible than sex scenes in movies. The scene was going great--the same compliments as above--until the boy took the girl's shirt off.
He put his hands on her hips and stroked with his fingers her... ribcage?
Unless this MC had extremely long fingers, touching one's ribs with your hands on their hips is utterly improbable and then it hit me.
I have encountered this misconception in an unbearable amount of stories, both published and not.
The hips are the bones that stick out on the front left and right sides of your body, making up your pelvis. Your waist is the bit above that where, on a woman's body, the lines of her sides curve in and then back out, in an hourglass shape.
Your ribcage is touchable from your waist but not from your hips.
Alright.
I'm glad we have that cleared up.
