Dogs impregnating women, fathers raping daughters, and hardcore interracial gangbangs

(Tell me I don’t know how to title a Diary post! 😀 )So I was going through my morning ritual checking and responding to email when I opened up an erotica newsletter I recently subscribed to. The titles alone made my mouth drop open: stories about dogs impregnating women, fathers raping daughters, and hardcore interracial gangbangs.

So I was going through my morning ritual checking and responding to email when I opened up an erotica newsletter I recently subscribed to. The titles alone made my mouth drop open: stories about dogs impregnating women, fathers raping daughters, and hardcore interracial gangbangs.

After my initial shock, I had to smile because these authors were going all out hardcore in a way I never will. Or could.

In truth, I will never be one of those authors.

Yes, some of my stories definitely push the limits of acceptable erotica (Erotic Urban Legends, anyone?), but nowhere near what these stories do. Not that there’s anything wrong with those stories – at all – I can’t just see myself sitting down and writing one. My stories, even though they have scandalous titles, also have softer themes to them – love, family, even dabs of paranormal here and there. I like to blend genres when I write erotica, tweaking the norm a bit and challenging myself in the process.

Very few of my stories are flat out fuck-fests. Even my Quickies stories.

Why not? Well, because that’s not realistic, and even though some of my stories are very heavily drenched in sex, they are also fairly real. Like they could really happen, or maybe even had (lips are sealed), and even if they hadn’t it wouldn’t too much of a shock if it did.

In short, I write erotica that turns me on. I don’t write to simply sell books. That would be infinitely easier, believe me – all I would have to do is see which books are rated the highest on Amazon, whip up an appropriately provocative title, and throw a generic story together in that vein. But I wouldn’t want to read it, so chances are a lot of you out there wouldn’t either. Especially my regular readers, who probably have the same tastes in erotica I do.

That being said, those kinds of stories are definitely fun to read for a change of pace. I’ve bought several, just to see what they would be like, and I don’t regret any of my purchases.

So for you writers out there writing the stuff that I won’t: keep at it! People are out there that obviously enjoy the stories. Even me. Sometimes. 😉
