Erotica: Owning my sexual voice.
Posted: June 6th, 2013, 5:59 pm
Hey all!
In 2005, at age 29, I discovered ways to make myself more noticeable to people I am attracted to. I am still working on this, making slow but sure progress. Yay me!
For the first 29 years of my life I was sexually invisible.
I've read in the last few years Nancy Friday (yay for her, and yay for fantasies!) and the wonderful annual series "Best American Erotica".
I want to explore my fantasies through writing erotica just for my own edification.
Immediately my mind reminded me of the old script of erotica/porn that I grew up with:
"Erotica is silly and tawdry. It's only use is as a joke, a dehumanizing joke"
I think this *after* reading all that amazing erotica!
So today I decided to post here for encouragement.
Here is my three part goal:
1. To write a simple, three paragraph erotica story, loosely based on a fantasy I've been considering.
2. To do so according to advice I get from googling "How to write erotica".
3. Post brief story on a erotica website/forum.
I hope to complete this by the end of the weekend (three days).
As important as my sexuality is to me, the more important issue is finding and using my voice.
I'd greatly appreciate any encouragement as I seek my voice
