Have you ever met a character in a film, book, or TV show that just wouldn’t let you go? Hot is a given, but their story stayed with you. You wanted to give them acceptance, freedom, release–you know what you wanted to give. And you know exactly what you wanted to take. With a character boner like that, what’s a biggest fan supposed to do?
According to the New York Times, 46% of people polled say they fantasize about other people while having sex with their lovers. So do you? Do you pretend that deep dicking is from primetime’s most popular fall guy living a lie to protect innocent others? Or does the skirt upshot you’re dreaming of belong to the blushing damsel desperate for release in the novel that won’t let you go?
I’m curious about the current success of erotica in the publishing industry. All sources report now that erotica is the genre to publish in, and the industry still largely views erotica as a sub-genre of romance. Many publishers who focus on erotica require a romantic element, if not primary plot. In other words, the erotica may be there, but the romance must be. But what does that mean, exactly? What if romance is different things to different people? Can erotica with nipple clamps and an intimidating peg be as romantic as flowers, a rugged alpha, and HEA? The climb in sales of erotica could suggest so, but what do you think?
