Interesting answers on a similar tread about wether or not LUSH is or is not a porn site. My question here is what is it about erotica that you like and why? Is it a "mood" enhancer? Physical response? Emotions?
It's not visual like porn. It's left to the imagination and can be taken to places that porn just can't. The writer is the map, but we're the driver.
Erotica, for me, is exploring what I may or may not have fantasied about from another POV - and that's exciting to read what others write, like sharing their secrets with me.
what I like depends on my mood at the time
Using your imagination to interpret what's going on
Porn gets boring after while. Good erotica keeps getting better.
I have always loved romances and intimate stories, and I look for that in erotica. What I am looking for so often is to be able to find my way into the character of the heroine and experience some of her joys and pleasures through the glories of my imagination. If it gets really nasty, then I have no desire to go there.
Really good erotica, exciting erotica has to resonate with your personal fantasies. That's what makes this web site so much fun. A wide variety of fantasies are expressed here and everyone seems to be tolerant of everyone else's kinks. Yes, I love erotica, but it either has to be very romantic or an embodiment of my personal desires.
Years ago when trying to legally define pornography, a lawyer said something like, "I know it when I see it." I would say the same thing about erotica. When I see it, I recognize it and I love it.
Yes, I do differentiate between erotica and pornography. Erotica is a category of art and literature. Pornography is a pejorative used by uptight prudes who are obsessed with denying their natural sexual desires.
Do I enjoy erotica? Of course I do.
Why? Why wouldn't I?
