One persons porn is my Erotica
Erotica is not something easily defined or easily accepted by
society. There is most definitely a difference of opinion in
people's minds between what porn is and what erotica is. Sex is
one of the most difficult and controversial topics in society
today. I often have been accused of writing porn. Many think
that any kind of writing that examines the bounds of intimacy is
dirty and something that should be kept in the bedroom. Most
look at all erotica writing as porn. But remember that one
person’s porn is another person’s erotica. One thing erotica is
not is badly written trash. I'm sorry to disappoint anyone but
as an erotica writer myself, I don't write trash. There seems to
be a misconception between people thinking erotica consists of
just sex. It is not sufficient to say that erotica is all about
sex. Erotica is a brilliant written story that teases the reader
in a sensual and seductive writing style. Sometimes the sex in
an erotic story makes us smile or feel the warmth of the love
between two human beings.
Let me be blunt here porn is nothing more than something that
has the ability to supply a stiff penis or wet moist panties,
Erotica writing says something about human beings and looks at
sex as a beautiful art between two people. Comparing porn to
erotica is like comparing fruit to vegetables.
Erotica writing paints a picture in ones mind. It is composed of
word images and metaphors that arouse the reader through vivid
description and imagery. The line between erotica and porn is
often blurred, as the debate between erotica and porn goes on
throughout the web.
I feel the need to point out that I am not a porn writer. I want
to point out that my writing is erotica and not porn. I am a
sensual woman who is very in touch with my own sexuality. I have
all these images of sexual intimacy burning in my mind and I put
my fingers to the keyboard and begin to share those intimate
moments of love making. Isn't that why we write any gene of
writing because we have thoughts within ourselves dieing to get
out? Erotica explores the eroticism of everything, not just the
details of sex.
Erotica is filled with sexual imagery and language. It consists
of love, caring, cherishing, affection and commitment. Erotica
recognizes both the sexual and the romantic impulses in love
making. So what is my own reaction when people call me a porn
writer? My first thought is to tell them that it wouldn't hurt
for them to go out and get a few fantasies of their own. However
to each their own. Remember that one person’s porn is another
person’s erotica.
I delight in creating writing that can be shared between a
couple and help them to explore their own sexuality. I think
that so many have been blinded by the taboo of real porn that
they can not look at except erotica literature for what it is.
There is intimacy that is in erotica that just isn't in porn.
Erotica writers spend a great deal of their time explaining why
it is erotica and not porn. This is time well spent. Erotica is
truly a gene of its own and through education more people are
developing an open mind to what erotica is and isn’t.
Erotica comes from the word Eros meaning "physical love." The
definition of erotica can be summed up with the words “beautiful
love.”
