One of my stories has been published on Oysters and Chocolate. Wild Knots and Buntline Hitches is a bit of mild kinkiness which may or may not have something to do with rope. And tying people up.
So what really is the difference between porn and erotica?
2 AprI’m talking about writing, by the way, not those funny pictures of unlikely people doing unusual things to each other, with props.
No, I’m trying to figure out what elevates erotica from the status of pornography. I’m not the first to have done this. There is a prevailing view among erotica authors that what we do is not porn. I like to think so too. But when I try to put my finger on the thing that makes it that way, I can’t quite manage it. I’m hoping that by the time I get to the end of this post, I’ll have figured it out.

1 AprI’m on Facebook, finally. Yeah, I know. My view is that there comes a time when there’s no point struggling any more. You know you’re going to lose. You know it’s going to hurt, and hurt for a long time. So you might as well lie down and take it. It’ll only get worse if you don’t. And there’s a small part of you that thinks that afterwards it might be worth it. It’s not that the actual experience itself is enjoyable, but the effects can be incendiary.
So let’s all set fire to Facebook.
What, did you think I was talking about something else?
