Do any of your friends or family know you write erotica

TEST

Trying to post here, is it working for me yet?

My partner knows and approves. A few friends might guess, but absolutely none of them would be shocked.

A couple of them know. My family doesn't know ... they're prude .

They all know. It's not like I'm dealing smack.

A very select few of my friends know but my family don't, I've had some trauma in my past that they know about as well as some they don't and they wouldn't understand. I think I'll publish under a pseudonym if I get lucky enough to get a publishing contract.

Exactly! The censorship that society imposes on all of us through its mores is very restrictive, really. I mean we all have these thoughts & fantasies - writing & talking about them seems like a normal thing to do but societal norms & conventions have pushed it into the shadowy fringes.

I'm not entirely sure I know if I do, most days.

I told my best friend recently. We were debating erotic fiction as Milan Kundera had passed away, and she knows I adore Anais Nin. So I confessed. She has read some of my stories here, to which I was called "sale pute" (dirty bitch) as a term of endearment. 😜

Truth is, she knows a lot about our unconventional marriage, so it did not come as a big shock. As for anyone else, no. Only one other friend has an idea of what we have got up to. When your private life is threatened, it makes keeping it secret very important.

They know I write erotica, poetry, fanfiction, other things. I'm not afraid or ashamed of telling them. They just don't care. I'm surprised one of my friends is reading the novel I'm working on.

My boyfriend is aware that I write erotica and post it on Lush, and while he rarely reads it, he is otherwise very supportive of my writing. His reasoning is that since most of my stories are about us, why should I read it when I can live it 😊

Yes, to the extent that anyone who knows me personally can reconcile me in real life (mum, Canadian, tall, always well-dressed if not in scrubs, soft-spoken, church-going United Methodist) with the idea that I write what is essentially literary porn. My pastor, for instance--she knows, she's read my stories, she told me that if G-d blessed me with the ability to convey filthy gutter-level thinking into writing, then it would be turning my back on a blessing to not write literary erotica.

I'm not terribly worried about what anyone thinks--several close friends, after recovering the "wtf Jen?", have passed on my scribbling to other people. My oldest son really isn't a fan, since he believes that porn in general degrades women (true-but I've never watched anything like visual porn); when he was still at home he used to be very unhappy when I left Lush up, because he didn't want his brothers to see anything..

He's at the University of British Columbia in the Faculty of Medicine now. The two younger ones are 19 (University of New South Wales) and approaching 18 (fourth year HS) and they still don't know anything other than "mum writes stories", courtesy of their oldest brother.

I don't understand why one wouldn't share what one writes, no matter the genre. If your family loves you, and your friends love you, why wouldn't you share? Perhaps it's me, but yah, no, I share because I can, and it's not as if I'm forcing anyone to read what I've written.

Yup, a few. My son found out by accident a few years ago. Now if I ever fuss at him about anything he laughs and says, “But Mom, you write porn!” 😳

I hope you tell him, "Every word of it based on personal experience, son!" 😉

My husband knows I write "erotic literature" (aka, porn) and a few non-Lush friends, but mostly just my Lush friends.

I told my daughter and my sister because neither one is at all judgemental. My sister said, "Ooooooh," shivered her shoulders but didn't ask to read any. My daughter has read some of my poems. She said, "Wow, Mommy, that's HOT!" How many people in the world are as lucky as me?! I don't tell my husband or others outside of Lush though.

One. She loves for me to write about having sex with her and her friends. I think she reads my stories to them. Out of five three have already been in my bed. The other two are planning a visit…maybe together.😜

Most of them know but I've only allowed a few to actually read things.

No family or friends know that I wrote erotica. I know that they would be disgusted. They are quite prudish. However, I have shared my stories with a couple of lady friends, and they seemed to enjoy.

My boyfriend and a few friends know that I have a profile here on Lush and that I enjoy reading and writing porn.

DW (Dear Wife) is entirely unaware off my escapades. The “other woman” in my stories have read them and approves. There is literally no physical interaction between us, but it’s nice that she participates in the fantasy. So really folks, no actual cheating going on. Some seem to disapprove of that greatly. It’s just a bit of fun. We only live once.

In the eyes of some, sharing your erotic fantasies with someone other than your spouse is cheating, physical or no. But I'm as guilty as you are so just pointing out how others might view it, not giving my thoughts.

Basically, I don't have a lot of people in my life I can share this side of it with. I am pretty sure my wife would not be happy and I am pretty sure my family would make sure it got back to her. So I do promo them on some other sites where I am fairly anonymous but that's the extent of my sharing for now.

I like having a personal side. No family knows of my writings and I'm sure non of my daughters would enjoy it. I have a couple friends that know the real me that I have shared my writing with. One enjoys, one is indifferent and one does not approve. I appreciate when someone here comments on my work.

Did I kill this thread? I'm not ashamed for my erotic writing and I'm not ashamed at wanting to feel loved and have the physical pleasure I'm denied. I'm happy to say one very special lady here who knows me and my writing. It makes me happy to know I can share my writings and have them attached to the real me.

My cousin knows I enjoy writing erotica, but she also helps me write the stories. A few friends of mine know, but that is only because I do not hide it. I also do not advertise it; if people know, they know. If, for some reason, I was ashamed of writing smut, I would have to rethink whether or not I should even be doing it.

Only Miss Pixel. Her general opinion is "That will do, donkey."

Ha! I'll bet there's an interesting backstory to that nickname.

My partner knows, and is actively involved in planning and editing the stories.

My best friend knows, but I haven't told him my pen name, he only knows that I write erotica as a hobby.

No one else knows.

I've posted here before, only Mr MC1982 and my best girl friend know. But this weekend, I was careless and my notebook briefly fell into the wrong hands! My secret nearly came out!

None of my family or friends know that I write. I'm unsure if the wife would approve or be interested, even if I told her. I am pretty much here to write as it's my only sexual outlet at the moment. Sometimes, I wish they knew, but I'm unsure what the outcome would be if they did. I may tell them one day, but Lush is my secret hiding place for now.
