Erotica is w...The answer to both questions is no. <br /><br />Erotica is writing intended to arouse sexual desire—I've no problem with erotica. HOWEVER, I don't personally find demeaning someone even remotely arousing, so for me, stories like FIFTY SHADES don't qualify as erotica. And no, I wouldn't write one. Let's face it, I'm no good at obeying the rules of the genres I *do* write, there's no way I could write BDSM fetish lit just to become a best seller. LOL!<br /><br />That said, I have no problem with the genre as a whole, apart from the deplorable writing. Would it be so difficult for publishers to find someone who could write BDSM erotica above a first grade level? I mean, love it or hate it, FIFTY SHADES is a literary disgrace, and I'm not talking subject matter. <br /><br /><a href="http://vrbarkowski.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">~VR Barkowski</a>VR Barkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927993233682731113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-78775081080215829332013-04-03T14:15:33.346-05:002013-04-03T14:15:33.346-05:00Glad you are still going, even if it is the wrong ...Glad you are still going, even if it is the wrong way LOL<br /><br /> <a href="http://henderson-jo.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">JO ON FOOD, MY TRAVELS AND A SCENT OF CHOCOLATE</a>Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-91357535994944268972013-04-03T13:30:07.488-05:002013-04-03T13:30:07.488-05:00Xena!!!

Yeah!!! <br /><br />For a ton of reasons, I wouldn't write erotica, but I'll give one that surely all writers can relate to...how in the world would the pages not end up repetitive? It seems the scenes would have to get really twisted to distinguish them from the others.
