Erotica Versus Porn And Why Women Love It

Have you ever picked up an Erotica novel? Recently, the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy has been gaining a cult following. Perhaps it is the catalyst to women discovering a whole spectrum of Erotica. What is Erotic and is it porn? First, I am not demonizing pornography. I personally don't get off on it because it does nothing for me. I also do not DO NOT CONDONE CHILD PORN NOR DO I SANCTION ANY SORT OF PORN WHERE INDIVIDUALS ARE RAPED OR DEFECATED ON. I AM QUITE AGAINST CHILD PORN AS WELL AS HUMAN TRAFFICKING(the sex slave trade). Erotica is more sensual and builds on well written fantasies. How many of us have ever wanted to try something new with our significant other? How many of us have wanted to shed our good girl image and get down and dirty? How many of us want to get lost in a great story with well written plots and memorable characters? I think many of us would probably raise our hands. Erotica versus porn-is there really a contest here? I think when people who have never read an erotic novel make the judgement because there is strong language used and very descriptive sexual content that it automatically makes it pornography. Porn is just a physical act. Men react to what they can see more than what they can feel. So in my opinion, women pick books that creates that emotion or situation that evokes a certain feeling. I pick up a book I want to be roped in I just don't want to read sex on every page, I want all 4 out of 5 of my senses to come alive. A great Erotica novel will not only rope you in but it will seduce you instead of just throwing you across the bed and giving you a Slam! Bam! Thank-You Mam! I remember the first time I saw reproductions of the works of Gustav Klimt. I was seduced each time I looked at his paintings like The Kiss which made me feel what it was like to be held in a lover's arms. His painting Love that reminds me of passion. The painting Danae which some of us had to sneak a peek at since our teacher thought it was too risque for us to see is one of the most erotic works of art I've ever seen. Klimt had a love for love. He found beauty in the female form and worshiped it. So women from practically the dawn of time have always been sensual creatures capable of eroticism and great passion so it is only natural we would be drawn to well written Erotica. Erotica is more than just the visual and what you can physically feel and touch. To me, Erotica is more sensual and more mental than porn which is just right there straight forward in your face. So when I hear people just classify Erotica with porn it really strikes a nerve with me because the two are like apples and oranges. They might both be fruit but they are entirely different. Okay maybe fruit was not such a good analogy. So many people are still bashing the oh so very popular Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L.James. However, there are some really good writers of Erotica romance novels and I hope you look them up as well add to the list!
