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.
Hardly any other erotic novel from the 18th century has achieved such a lasting reputation as Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, better known as Fanny Hill. British author John Cleland wrote the text around 1748/49 – at a time when English literature was morally conservative, but spicy material was also circulating in private reading … Continue reading Fanny Hill – A scandalous novel with staying power
Erotic literature often dwells on desire, shame, or lust. Yet one feeling tends to remain in the background: awe. It is that blend of astonishment, respect, and inner trembling that makes the breath catch and the body feel both small and receptive. In erotic scenes, awe can be powerful, because it frames beauty, vulnerability, and … Continue reading Awe in Erotic Literature: The underestimated feeling
Sploshing – also known as WAM (Wet and Messy) – is much more than “playing with food.” It’s a form of sensual exploration, a deliberate play with temperature, texture, scent, and sound on bare or clothed skin. Psychologically, it carries the thrill of a taboo: we keep our bodies clean, free from sticky or wet … Continue reading Sploshing – Sensuality in Chaos
Sometimes all it takes is a glance in the refrigerator, and a titillating idea immediately springs to mind.

In order to analyze Anne-Marie’s role in Pauline Réage’s novel “The Story of O” within the framework of Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey, we must first examine Campbell’s concept and the specific dynamics of the novel. Campbell’s hero’s journey, as described in “The Hero with a Thousand Faces,” is a narrative archetype that describes a hero’s … Continue reading The dramatic function of Anne-Marie in “The Story of O”
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
