Do you dream about steamy summer nights? Light touches, soft winds, heart-stopping kisses? This summer, when stimulating ideas surge through your mind, enjoy writing them down to share again and again…
“When we write erotica, we play Sex Goddess,” says author Stella Fosse. “We capture our fondest erotic memories and write fiction about our desires.”
Fill your titillating tales with sensory details and emotional tensions. Ditch the “blow-by-blow” mechanics and stress the senses. The taste of suntanned skin, the smell of a roaring ocean, the sight of shadows cast across naked bodies, and hearing those heavenly sighs of contentment.
Erotica is the delicate component of the passion genre, while touching on lust and desire. It allows the reader to live the illusion without stumbling through coarse phrasing.
Write your sultry stories, whether they are your dreams, your fantasies, or your secret realities, and let loose your sensual scenes, no matter how powerful or playful.
This is your story to be read aloud or kept hidden deep inside. Remember, what happens on your page stays on your page.
Need some motivation? Enjoy my summer, erotic reading list:
- Fanny Hill by John Cleland (1748): Written in the form of letters from the protagonist, detailing her life and sexual adventures as a prostitute in London, this book is one of the most prosecuted and banned books in history.
- Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D.H. Lawrence (1928): This torrid tome, about an aristocratic woman’s sexual and emotional awakening through an affair with a working-class gamekeeper, shattered the rigid social and moral taboos of the early 20th century.
- Tropic Of Cancer by Henry Miller (1934): Miller’s classic chronicles the bohemian life of an American writer in Paris in the 1930s and features explicit sexual content. Its publication in the U.S. in the 1960s led to landmark obscenity trials that redefined censorship standards for modern literature.
- Harem Of The Dragon by Lauren Tallman (2023): Enjoy reading my sought-after historical fiction, with sensual undertones, that uncovers the lives of an Emperor’s courtesans during the Ming Dynasty.
