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...
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...
Scarlet lies in a hotel bed, leaning against the board with a pillow propping her up. With her arms crossed, she turns to the window as sirens and police lights whiz by, briefly lighting up the early morning sky. The lights flash against the high-rise skyscrapers, clashing with the light of the rising sun. The man sleeping next to her turns over, awakened by...
Writers of erotica are very much readers of erotica. When you first put pen to paper and write a sex scene, you probably do not consider yourself a writer of erotica. Time and many stories later, you begin to see the truth of your vocation. * I became enamored of erotica at an early age. Back then, I did not call it erotica. Oh no, it was what was sold as...
How to write an erotic story? I write fiction. I write erotica. I write erotic fiction. Now locked in that particular genre for the past five years, that's all that I write. So, being that this is a how to story, specifically how do you write an erotic story, shall we begin? Honestly, I don't have a clue how to write an erotic story, I just do without thin...
Susan reveals the friendships and family relationships lost over her need to write erotica. As a seemingly well adjusted, single woman on the surface, just as no one would know that I'm unemployed and still homeless, no one would know that I write erotica of all things to write. Who knew? Go figure. With my four, big, older brothers living in Ohio and Mich...
In 2017, I did an interview with the great Bob_Aganoush. You can find that interview in his profile along with his stories. As of August 2020, I've updated my answers because I felt I could give more clarity on things. So, here you go, dear readers. Is there anything about you and your background, beyond what is in your Literotica profile, that you would...
Mom knows. She found out about a year or two ago. I don't remember exactly when. Maybe after a year of writing for Lit, I guess. I was kinda surprised at her reaction. She told me she didn't care what I write, as long as I was making money at it. Was I? Of course, I had to say no. After all, what I write and submit here isn't written for money. It's written...
If we reeeally take a look at the history of the world... Erotica has always been at the forefront of art's beginnings in every culture's rise. From Bawdy folk songs, Egyptian erotic poetry, Ancient Greek sculptures, to Renaissance paintings, to Japanese woodblock canvases - it's even in the Bible! Go read Songs of Solomon! Today, we have the biggest and...
Now harken, beloved children, let me tell you a bedside story. A tale many say of the greatest discovery ever made. Now many of the discoveries that have contributed to the advance of women (and men) have been the lucky consequence of events that were not directed toward the ultimate outcome. This was one such. So, if you are lying comfortably, I will enli...
