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.
Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey features the central figure of the mentor – that wise presence who guides the protagonist through their transformative journey. In erotic literature, however, this archetype shows a striking imbalance: while male mentors appear frequently, female mentors are a rare phenomenon. This asymmetry raises fundamental questions about gender roles, power structures, and … Continue reading The Role of the Female Mentor in Erotic Literature→
In film, the camera can zoom in on a detail, guide the eye, control rhythm, and hold focus. In literature, we must do all of this with words – without a lens, without lighting, without an image. A closeup in text requires the author to describe each detail so precisely that the reader not only … Continue reading Closeup – The Art of the Zoom-In in Erotic Literature→
American mythologist Joseph Campbell made a decisive contribution to the study of archetypes and their relevance in literature.

He used precise observation to unite anatomy, expression, and character in just a few sentences. His prose was never overly ornate or sentimental, but objective, clear, and deeply human. Observation as the … Continue reading Somerset Maugham’s Art of Describing Faces→

The combination of intimacy, physical contact, and unexpected events creates moments that cause embarrassment for the protagonists. This combination opens up a space for intense, psychologically dense scenes, especially for young authors. The goal is not voyeurism, but rather … Continue reading Massages in ENF: Embarrassment and sensuality→
Eroticism thrives on presence. It happens in the moment—in the body, in the gaze, in the tension between movement and stillness. This is precisely what makes erotic films so instructive for writers: they show what happens instead of explaining it. They work with postures, touches, perspectives. And it is precisely these tools that can give … Continue reading Writing cinematographically→
When you hear the word “sorority,” you often think of tight shorts, loud laughter, and strict hierarchies. A fixed plot has emerged in erotic literature: the shy newcomers are forced to undress, perform tasks, and cross sexual boundaries – in front of a camera. We know this from film series such as Haze Her, which … Continue reading Sororities in erotic literature – between cliché and physical reality→
