I've been told that writing erotica/porn is the easy way out for a writer. I've been told that erotica is lazy writing. I've been told that it is just a way to make a quick buck.

None of this is true. Not if you take it seriously.

If you look at erotica this way and write erotica this way, you might get published but you won't get paid much for it. There are many quality erotica/porn writing site on the web these days and most of them do charge for it some (like Cleansheets ) do not charge but do have quality writing. And let me tell you, it is no easy task to get published or win a contest through Cleansheets! You can publish your erotica for free and get published on quick and dirty sites where readers are there for one reason only. If that is all you want you're basically participating in a form of on line exhibitionism/voyeurism.

On the other end of the spectrum is erotica that titilates, thrills and - no, really, completely serious here - has a plot and real characters that the reader can identify with. Not all the women have heaving bosoms and the men are all well endowed with massive members. Ok, some of them are, but not all. The true writer of erotica can create characters that remind you a little of yourself and can write sex scenes that aren't just cheesy but are fodder for fantasies that real people fantasize about. In fact, you might even want to share some of this stuff with your wife and it might even have some unexpected results (meaning she won't slap you in face).

I am proud to be an erotica writer!
