Elements of Literary Erotica

by sr71plt on Sep 16, 2017
How To

Although there is no requirement to strive for the literary in writing erotica, if you wish to do so, and want to do so well, I think there are several elements you need to build into your story (which ain't easy). What is discussed here probably isn't a definitive list and may be an arguable list, but if the highlighting of these evokes thought or discussio...

The State of Black Erotica

by AfroerotiK on Sep 2, 2017
Reviews & Essays

Perhaps one day someone will convene a panel of scholars and academics that discusses Black sexuality and that addresses the subject of Black erotica. From the rhythmic tales of the sagacious griot, weaving tales of slaves whose love endured the horrors of chattel slavery, to the Harlem Renaissance with its unapologetic look at that mysterious element which...

What is Literotica?

by starrkers on Sep 16, 2017
Reviews & Essays

Literotica: is it just a fancy name for a porn site or is there a greater depth to the name? If you happen to stumble across the forums attached to this site (did you even know there were forums?), you might see someone promote the concept that this site is above "mere porn" and even above plain erotica -- there is meant to be a literary component to it, wh...

Shades of Grey - Good versus Bad

by PrincessErin on Sep 16, 2017
Reviews & Essays

Fifty Shades of Grey is Good The Internet is full of blog postings, reviews, and essays, everything to do with this new phenomenon. Prior to reading the novels, I was blatancy rude in saying that this was just another 'band wagon' jump. I was sucked in more to determine if there was any merit to the craze that had caused all my female coworkers to be whispe...

Notes to Myself on Writing Erotica

by J_Melquiades on Sep 1, 2017
How To

Implicitly, the root theme of all erotica is the human need to touch and be touched. We are primates. Acts of sex are central to every erotica narrative (even in their absence), but they are not erotica's primary subject. The primary subject is the how and the why of sexual behavior. The what remains inanimate without them. To remain dynamic, the what...

The Perils of Writing Erotica

by Leanmeangoblin on Sep 14, 2017
How To

Maybe I should use a more provocative title like "I Am a Depraved Man" to make my thoughts appear intriguing and frank, suitable for the topic of sex in writing. Or perhaps, something steamy and titillating: "How I Raped My Sister"—mimicking true confession magazine headlines—more intimate and appropriate for the avid readers of EROTICA, the realm of fiction...

End Goaling in Writing Erotica

by sr71plt on Sep 1, 2017
How To

Most all erotic stories are some variation of "he and/or she stuck/enveloped it in/around her and/or him, and she and/or he moaned in pleasure." Whether or not you can write a story worth posting depends on your imagination in finding new "hooks" (the unusual/unique concept that make your story interesting in relationship to what's generally available) and t...

The Erotic and the Speculative

by leapingfox on Sep 1, 2017
How To

SF (speculative fiction; the category includes science fiction, fantasy, and related genres) has a lot in common with erotica. Both are ridiculously easy to write badly and excruciatingly difficult to write well. Both are widely considered "inferior" by the mainstream literary community, yet actually contain some of the finest literature in existence. (Vonne...

The Black Pearl

by Quine on Sep 16, 2017
Reviews & Essays

The Black Pearl: Memoirs of a Victorian Sex-Magician Book review by Quine Originally written (one supposes) in the 1890's, by an unknown author who lists himself only as "anonymous". My copy, a paperback published by Hodder and Stoughton, London is without question the greatest pornographic novel I have ever read! This is "in my own experience" of course,...

The Responsibility of Free Speech

by R. Richard on Sep 16, 2017
Reviews & Essays

Free speech does not mean the right to scream "Fire!' in a crowded movie theater. The matter has been decided in courts of law and in the court of public opinion. [It comes under the doctrine of reckless endangerment.] In both arenas, the backers of unlimited free speech have lost. Free speech does not mean the right to physically threaten someone. Again, t...
