I used to read erotic fiction in Cosmopolitan and Cleo, to the point where I was smuggling sealed sections home from the library :P
I was always into the written word being a turn-on, way before I started watching porn. I used to jot down little fantasy scenarios, usually of women in situations where their sexual partner was more powerful than them, such as their boss, a ruler, or a policeman. I also loved thinking of little textual details that added to the sensations, such as a woolen jumper scraping against erect nipples, or the way it feels having fingers swept lightly just above your hips (any other girls know that feeling? I fucking love it).
When I was older, I had several explicit text, phone and web encounters, all with language as the main turn-on, and I discovered Lush, so I thought I'd have a crack at writing in earnest.
I'm never satisfied with stories until they turn me on, even when I'm totally familiar with them.
