Category Archives: Writing erotica

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.

DESCRIBING SKIN – TAN LINES AND OTHER SKIN COLOR PHENOMENA

How to describe A Female breast 1: Introduction

Breasts have a dull existence in erotic literature, especially among self-publishers. They are big. And round. They look great. Of course, they do.
