In the recent shaving thread, I asked for advice on a shaving issue, and received lots of helpful pms.
I also received written account, of the experience of a male forum poster, who wishes to remain anonymous.
This was the first time he'd written anything, and I felt his writing was so beautiful, delicate and erotic that it should be shown, and I have his full permission to reproduce it HERE.
Which got me thinking - what is it that makes good erotic reading?
I know it's each to their own, but for me, I like delicate writing, where the tension is built up gradually. I like paragraphs - I can't be bothered to fight my way through a solid block of text, with little or no punctuation.
And I like a good story line, and especially ones that you think, yes, that really could have happened!
Do you like erotica? What is it that makes it good or bad?

I loved it!... yes very erotic writing which I love far better than "Black Lace" porn. Don't get me wrong there's nothing better than a horny read but I do like erotic stories and films they turn me on much more than full blown porn.
Phoarrr... I'm feeling a bit hot under the collar right now and that's before my curry!

Good link :thumbup:
I love Literotica, plenty to suit all tastes on there.
I love writing erotica and love reading stuff what's been writing for me by someone else. I prefer the stuff that reflects how I like my sex to be in reality....slow and sensual and very descriptive to begin with then gettting hotter and harder and a lot more graphic :twisted:

Okay... so I'll confess, I'm a deviant. And I like reading. So erotic fiction in all its forms gets the big thumbs up from me. 
In fact, waaaaay more interested in the written word than any film.
as already mentioned is a good site - huge variety. Definitely a something for everyone on there.
I read Marthe Blau's Submission probably about 2 years ago (Winchy, probably not for you.... or maybe it'd convince you?! :lol: ) and that was a great read. Many a lady wank was had whilst reading and afterwards... still figures quite high up on my list of fantasies actually (am sooooooo not saying which bits! )
Am currently dipping in to Best Fetish Erotica Ed. by Cara Bruce. Oddities... but worth a read. Definitely not mainstream stuff.
Of course I've read all of the Story of O series and various others.... in fact, packed away in a box in my loft, is a veritable library of erotica!! I'll have to think of some good titles to share.
Has to be well written, but I actually find that the subject matter can be varied. Lots can turn me on if it's written well - like shaving for example, phew!! I wish I got PM's like that Cherry... that was hot!!!
Lovehoney usually has some good books... but I find nothing more satisfying than going into a bookshop and buying them - used to be a hobby of mine when working in the West End to frequent the adult bookshops on a rather regular basis!!
Nola x
p.s. think I may just have to reread the shaving story....

Literotica is a great site. You have to wade through a fair bit of badly written rubbish, but there are loads of real gems.
I agree with what makes 'good' erotic story-writing. There are a couple of things that will spoil the (otherwise) best erotic fantasy. The main one for me is physical continuity. If he is nibbling her ear, she cannot also be sucking his cock ffs. Ok maybe one or two guys from here would claim she could - but we're talking normal humans here
:D:D:D:D
There is a story I have read and enjoyed and the only thing wrong with it was he dropped his boxers, revealing his throbbing etc etc etc, twice in consecutive sentences. Non sequiteurs (sp?) like that can ruin a mood you know! Like him indoors announcing "I really must get that fence painted" just as he goes for the button.

A good storyline and characters you can believe

Something that challenges the reader - i.e. it leaves things to be discerned and realised. I feel so much more, having read a piece, when I've had to work to get the meaning.
Tautology and obviousness suck.
Don't 'tell' - 'paint a picture' with all our senses.
Eroticism is a condition brought on by the right stimuli - it is not the vehicle.
Sorry - fav topic of mine.

I had to review Nancy Friday's "Women In Love" many years ago (a book of women's fantasies).
Very hard to concentrate or do any work
Likewise
What about her Men In Love? You didn't try that one.... :twisted:
Both oddly fascinating...

Erotica for me is a story that fires my passion, gets my cock rock hard without touching it and makes me want to cum more than anything.
Gooderotica makes me like that every time I remember reading the story.

Read 'em both. I found 'Women in Love' very erotic.
