Definition

Erotic Fiction: Erotic fiction is the name given to fiction that deals with sex or sexual themes, generally more literary or severe than the fiction seen in pornographic magazines and sometimes including elements of satire or social criticism. Erotic literature comprises fictional and factual stories and accounts of eros (passionate, romantic, or sexual relationships) intended to arouse similar feelings in readers, in contrast to erotica, which focuses more specifically on sexual feelings. The boundary between fiction and non-fiction is often very diffuse. To the cultured mind, the study of the writer as a professional man, the literary work as a means of communication, and the reader as a consumer of cultural goods is vaguely sacrilegious.

What is Confessional Erotic Writing Therapy?

Reading and writing about sexual feelings and adventures can liberate. Writing about traumatic, stressful, or emotional events has improved physical and psychological health. For some people, writing can be for compensation, a hobby, and some, an emotional lifeline; the latter is known as "writing therapy," a form of expressive therapy that uses the act of writing and processing the written word as therapy.

"Confessional" auto-biography has become very popular today. There are dozens of books and short stories on topics such as child abuse by parents, priests, and relatives. Writing therapy is about giving silent but meaningful expression to that which has not been, or cannot be, spoken aloud, and it's cheaper than any drug!

Ways Your Story Can be Told Include:

Telling Your Story: It can often be helpful to write down what has happened to you, either over your lifespan or perhaps a particular distressing memory.
Random Writing: This is where you write down whatever comes into your head. Write down all the random, apparently nonsensical words and sentences, anything that comes to mind. It may read as nonsense, and that's OK. That's how our minds work.
Letter to Others: Often, it is helpful to write a letter to others about what you think or feel about them, such as; to express how much you appreciate someone, to tell them what they did that hurt you so much, or to say sorry and ask forgiveness.
Letter to Self: Some people find it helpful to write a letter to themselves, read it when they're not feeling so good, or struggle to cope.

Erotic Story Authors

Increased interactivity and anonymity allows casual or hobby writers the opportunity to author their own sexually oriented stories and share them with a worldwide audience. Many erotic story authors have been known to adopt colorful pseudonyms and can develop cult followings within their genre, though some will use (or claim to use) their actual real names. Among transgender or genderqueer authors, it is not an uncommon practice to adopt a feminine or masculine alter-ego. However, it is also not unheard of for a writer of erotica to use their own given name(s).

Lesbian pulp fiction began to trend in the twentieth century with some classic works such as Desert of the Heart (1964), The Price of Salt (1952), Spring Fire (1952), and Patience and Sarah (1969). Many of these works' writers were women, such as Gale Wilhelm and Ann Bannon. In addition, many male homosexuals also enjoyed gay pulp fiction, which borrowed the same sexploitation format as lesbian books.

By reading the work of others who write sensual or erotic literature, we get ideas or reminders of where our minds can wander. But writing allows us to step out of our comfort zones and shake off the restrictions we impose upon ourselves.
