I have a deep interest in human psychology and in learning what makes people tick. I suppose it’s my way to trying to figure out where I sit on the continuum between normative and deviant. When it comes to human behavior, my favorite things to study are those behaviors we consider abnormal or outside of normative, like strange sex desires.

I suppose deviant and abnormal behavior fascinates me so much because of the belief I have about people. I believe people have two faces; the public face they show to the world and the private face they keep locked behind closed doors. I think that a lot of the aberrant human behavior we see, and strange sex habits in particular, is the hidden face trying to find a way to express itself.

One thing is for certain, human behavior that deviates from the norm is where the stories are. If everyone was normative, it would be a very vanilla and boring world. Therefore, when I’m creating characters for my erotic fiction stories, I always try to find some way to make them crazy in some way. In my research, I’ve come across 13 weird and strange sex desires that may prove to be very interesting to write about in a story. Feel free to use them in your stories whether you write erotica or not.

I was going through my archives and found an old article I wrote about free blog hosting vs. self hosted blogs. This got me thinking about the various struggles I have had over the years finding a good company to host the websites I created. The problem I’ve run into is the fact that I write erotic fiction stories and thus needed adult hosting.

I would say the majority of web hosting companies online do not allow adult content on their web servers. Adult websites with porn images and xxx videos generate a lot of traffic which consumes tons of space. A high traffic porn site can make all other sites on the server slow to load or even cause the server itself to crash. No hosting company wants to deal with that so they make sex content providers find adult web site hosting.

There was a full moon tonight. Helpless against the siren song of temptation, the demon untangled itself from the bedcovers and went in pursuit of the forbidden fruit…

I don’t know about you but at times, like around Valentine’s Day, I feel like a pariah. I’m single with no children and not interested in changing the status quo on either issue despite being carpet bombed with hints by my mother. Seriously mom, I’m fully aware that I’m not getting any younger but I don’t think my ovaries are going to shrivel into raisins at the stroke of midnight on my 40^th birthday.

Anyway, when you live in a society that is obsessed with coupling and making babies, life can certainly make you feel like a loser if you happen to be single on Valentine’s Day. I don’t know how many times I’ve had some form of the following conversation with attached women:

Erotic fiction has been around for centuries but, in recent years, has enjoyed a surge in popularity. If you have every toyed with the idea of writing erotica but don’t know where to begin, here are a few tips to help get you started on the road to writing bedroom fiction.

Get with the genre

Though both deal heavily with the subject of sex, pornography and erotica are two different animals. Erotica follows the basic rules of writing in that there must be interesting characters and a plot surrounding the sexual elements. Porn, on the other hand, deals strictly with the act itself. If there is a plot or even interesting characters, it’s purely coincidental.

It is important to know the difference therefore immerse yourself in the writing of published erotica authors such as Katy Terretaga and Erica Jong. There are also many websites that offer a library of free stories by both professional and amateur writers. I assure you, you’ll quickly get a sense of what is and what is not erotica.
