We analyse texts from the fields of fiction and non-fiction and think about how high-quality eroticism can look today. We have no patent remedies, but put our thoughts and convictions on erotic literature on paper.
We regard the texts presented here as “work in progress”, which are constantly being expanded and updated as soon as we find new, exciting examples or topics. Ideally, over time this will create a pool of ideas for erotic literature for all those who write themselves.
Picture quotations or memes are short statements, paired with matching pictures. They can be easily shared and distributed. Because their origin is usually no longer traceable after just a few copying processes in the social media, many of them bear a kind of watermark or source reference. On this page you will find a series … Continue reading Body-con picture quotes
Facebook repeatedly rejects advertisements for our books. Amazon complains about book covers that have been waved through so far and punishes them with the Adult-filter. Tumblr has meanwhile marked almost all posts on Sandra’s NSFW blog, with which she drew attention to the problem of hazing, as inappropriate and has been cleaning up a lot … Continue reading The conservative backlash
How do we describe the smell of the vagina? As writers, we often have trouble with smells. But if we succeed, our readers are right in the middle of the scene. Because each of us immediately associates smells with our own experiences. Consciously or unconsciously: the mental cinema kicks in. That’s why it’s worth getting … Continue reading The smell of the vagina
Imagine taking a walk through Harvestehude. Your eyes are blindfolded. One of your sisters is guiding you. Under your bare feet you feel the cobblestones of the street and the grass of the parks, the sandy paths and the fallen leaves of the trees. Occasionally you will come across a puddle that bears witness to … Continue reading Barefoot through Hamburg-Harvestehude
A self-confessed feminist is shown on the cover of a glossy magazine, lightly dressed, with a coarse-mesh Burberry bolero over her shoulders, and obviously naked underneath. Her breasts are half visible. Former teen idol Emma Watson has herself staged as a Victorian rebel for the March issue of Vanity Fair (https://www.instagram.com/p/BREIp12gHjk/). And the Internet community … Continue reading Emma Watson and the Right to Femininity
Bei Sandras erster erotischen Geschichte, “Monikas Keller“, waren wir noch froh, überhaupt sieben Suchstichworte zu finden, als KDP beim Einstellen die Frage nach den Keywords stellte. Damals hatten wir noch nicht begriffen, was für ein mächtiges Tool uns dort zur Verfügung gestellt wird, um unsere Bücher auffindbar zu machen. Inzwischen sind wir um einige Erfahrungen … Continue reading Stichworte für eure KDP eBooks
What is the ideal length for erotic ebooks we want to sell via Kindle Publishing? I once did a little research and looked at what other erotica authors have to say on the subject. Why publish short stories at all? New titles last a maximum of four weeks in the new releases before they disappear … Continue reading THE IDEAL LENGTH FOR EROTIC EBOOKS
It took me a while to realize that in addition to Alice Schwarzer’s PorNo campaign, there is also a positive feminist approach to pornography. Naturally, I took notice. Whereby at this point another clarification of terms is probably necessary. Marc and I assume on our website that pornography is explicit depictions of sexuality for its … Continue reading Dirty Diaries Manifesto – a positive feminist approach to pornography
Lecter: Was tut er, dieser Mann, den Sie suchen? Clarice: Er tötet Frauen. Lecter: Nein, das ist nebensächlich. Was ist das Vordringliche bei all seinem Tun? Die Frage ist, welche Bedürfnisse er durch Töten befriedigt. Clarice: Abreaktion der Wut … Versuch gesellschaftlicher Anerkennung. .. und Überwindung sexueller Frustration. (Ted Tally: Das Schweigen der Lämmer) Triebfeder … Continue reading Emotionen – die Triebfeder hinter jeder Handlung
Angst ist ein Gefühl der Beklemmung, ausgehend von einer tatsächlichen oder erwarteten Bedrohung. Hergeleitet vom Begriff der “Enge”. Sie gehört zu den stärksten Emotionen und ist damit Motor für unzählige Handlungsverläufe, nicht nur im Thriller, der von den verschiedenen Abstufungen der Angst lebt. Die Angst vor dem Alleinsein drängt uns in Beziehungen, von denen wir … Continue reading Angst meisterhaft beschreiben
