>>24544602>Me as a male, I'm always disappointed every time I try to read "erotic literature". It just can't compete with the hardcore porn I consume, through several media. What I want is the literary version of that visual porn, and literature doesn't seem to be on par>
the excerpt I posted, came from a book. I was lurking \lit\, and someone posted about some female writer had "hit the lottery". She wrote a little over 100 pages novella, fetish erotica. They noted, she had over 100,000 amazon downloads her first month.

I decided, I had to try it. I went through the writing exercises I described, then the last one? Just turned into the first chapter. My criteria, at the outset:
>
it will be explicit as hell.
it will contain long erotic passages, no flipping pages to get to the "good part".
I went "all in", and show their meeting and how their romantic life grows. I show their real life, outside of the fantasy role playing sex they engage in more and more of.
I originally intended it, to be simply what it appeared to be... an explicit and (hopefully) reasonably well written thing.
The girl's room mates were originally just window dressing, but they evolved.
starting into book two? you've been bombarded by explicit sex. You;re just sure you;re about to get more of that... when real plot sneaks up on you.
Dark, heavy, noir plot. Gritty.
book one? All sex and beginnings. Book two? The heavy plot gets in with the backed off but still prevalent sex scenes.
Book three? Even darker noir and grit.
I think if someone read one of my later "more accessible" later novels, there's 3 so far I think might make the cut. A reader might wonder where this unique character comes from, how they got made.
But, the first book in that trilogy? I was going for... surprisingly well written and takes itself seriously. By the time you're into 2 and 3, you see why.
But... the first book? Functions as a stand alone fetish erotica.
So, its unique. I was imagining, getting readers because of the red hot sex. overdosing them on the heavy sex until they're "caught", I guess. Then, they get to read the other 2 books, which become increasingly dark noir.
But the sex, particularly in book one? Front and center. If you're looking for "porn clips" explicit, that's you. Then as long as you;re getting your fix, why not keep enjoying the fix, while you "accidentally" get introduced to heavy noir and grit.
