No, your majesty... *shuffles off*
Seriously though, in response to the question:
It's, quite simply, gender stereotyping to say that women will like a certain type of story and men another, or that women will be more likely to read an author's work because of reason X, so I'm not going to say that.
Whatever you write, as long as it appeals to you, it will appeal to someone else, be they men or women. I'm quite happy if my cat gives my writing more than a passing glance.
Well stated. It's difficult to keep this in mind at times.

This has gotten a little off track. here's my advice for writers. write like yourself and FOR yourself. don't try to write for an audience, don't try to write like someone whose work you admire. write what comes naturally. sure, take chances, experiment with styles, etc, but always be true to yourself - the longer i do this, the more i realize that, if i am not telling a story that i enjoy no one else is going to enjoy it either.
Damn straight and amazing advice!

i find that adding kittens into your story will sometimes do the trick -
"Jake started at her huge DDD tits, surprised to see a kitten nestled inbetween them."
i should charge for this shit. seriously.
You really could charge for this shit! LMAO

This is such an interesting topic, so I was wondering as to why you would like to attract a wider female audience?
Two fold, I suppose:I want to attract a female audience because I flat out adore women and it matters to me personally whether what I write connects. As a writer seeking readers, it behooves me to seek to attract at least part of the other half of the human population on this precious (and endangered) little sphere.

It's odd - I have what I think of as a more feminine hand when it comes to writing erotica. However, I don't seem to find much in the way of a female audience. I am very happy for the audience I have and grateful the opportunity to share and have my work critiqued and enjoyed. Yes, I've read the statistics that women tend to like women writers, but is there something I might do to attract a female audience?

Wine - Bordeaux or Burgundy.
Whiskey - preferably single malt Scotch or a really superb Bourbon
Beer - River North Brewing J Marie is the current favorite - terrific Am/Belgian Farmhouse

The strip is glamorous, but I agree with Kate Elizabeth, Freemont Street is pretty cool. Downtown is more real than the strip and a tad more seedy.

Gods, yes! Someone once said that fucking foreigners was almost as good as traveling! English, South African, Latin, German - you name it, there is something about accents that makes it all the more thrilling!

People are so anxious to pound. Subtlety. I like that. Kissing. Touching. Teasing. Foreplay that lasts for hours. I'm with you jellyboobys!
