Whew! That was so good, I gotta have another one!

Boilerplate disclaimer: I am not as shallow as the answer below may make me appear. The question posed was solely about physical appearance vis a vis attraction, so that's where my answer focuses.
The first determinant - for my tastes - between a curvy lady and being built like a truck is, well, curves. A voluptuous woman who has big breasts, big hips, yet still appears 'shapely,' has a waistline that's in obvious contrast to her bust and hips, and generally dresses to accentuate her figure is more likely to get an appreciative glance from me than one who looks and dresses as if her body resembled a refrigerator in basic shape. If a woman's figure appears 'proportionate' rather than a clearly large stomach or thighs or arms, she's less likely to get my first glance. The total package of that woman can still draw my interest, just as a stone-cold fox with the personality of catsup is unlikely to keep my attention very long.
I'd be ball-parking any sizes because of differences in height and proportion and such, but I'd say above USA size 14, a woman's starting to cross over to 'built like a truck' territory.

I don't like a backstory at the start of a story, I much prefere smatterings through out the whole story.
Quote by roccotool
It's all about balance. Too much sex and not enough back story makes for an equally boring read. A good back story gets the reader interested in the characters and aids in the "picture" of the sex that is about to take place. That's why I build a lot of backstory first, and try to write the sex without the cliches.
Quote by Dudeness92
To be perfectly honest, I like backstory. A lot. It makes a better story. I like stories that take a while to read, and being a speed-reader, that means I want a HUGE story.
Quote by BrindleChase
The rule of thumb is.... write your story. Where the sex begins, doesn't matter. But when writing backstory, be sure your setting the scene, introducing the characters and launching the plot... and nothing more. Too much backstory becomes what is typically called "info-dumping"... which is bad. It bores the reader, drags down the story and is tedious to write to begin with. Keep your backstory quick and to the point. Your characters, setting and plot will be your best guides as too how long is needed.
Less is more. Always.
And with erotica, sex is the main interest of your readers, so backstory needs to be a brief as possible, without cheating your story. But get to the sex quickly. You can keep your readers hooked with well crafted lead up as you present the plot, and it's a good idea if you have a lot of backstory you want to put in, to intermix it with the plot leading up to the sex. Never bore your readers if it can be helped. =o)

Quote by SixtyMinuteMan
Nah, the length should be fine from the site's point of view. I just posted an 11,000 word story, which is well over 20 pages in Word.
As to what the reader wants... hell, I write stories that don't reach the sex until 5000 words are gone. I am DEFINITELY the wrong person to give advice here.
