Yes it does! Sometimes I wish I could get through a book faster because I want to know what's going to happen next. And sometimes I want to just linger in a book because I'm enjoying every moment of it and I don't want it to end.

Lol... you can find anything on the internet. Probably on Craig's List.

What's more important to you all when reading erotica: that it is well-written or that it turns you on? Or is it a deal-breaker if it doesn't cover both bases?

Actually, Carnal Machines is next month, but we've got Dreamlover — Paranormal Tales of Erotic Romance coming up in October (edited by our own Kristina Wright!)... I've already got that one and have read a couple stories out of it —it's going to be a good one!

I love how in "a charmed life" she tottaly ignores him at the start and the way she makes him kneel on the floor for hours before calling back.

I haven't read this one - I got Please, Sir instead. I kind of want to read this one, but I think the one I got is probably more up my alley, so to speak. I'm curious what others thought if it though

I like well written even if I don't get turned on. I love to read just to read so getting turned on is just a bonus

For me its a little of both. I want it to turn me on, but it really needs to be well written as well.

Throw in a guy who gives a great scalp massage along with the other two and I'm totally sold!

If it's not well written, I'm gone. I can't focus on the plot if I'm distracted by lousy prose. But if the writings good I don't notice at all because I'm so focused on the story's action.

I would prefer it be both well-written and turn me on. But frankly, I think if it isn't at least reasonably well written, it won't be able to turn me on because I'll be too busy critiquing the writing. So, if I had to chose, I would say well-written.

I agree. I like a good story that has sex in it.

Ah yes... Please Sir was definitely more up my alley as well. This one I read more for the enjoyment of reading than an erotic experience for me. But it does have me thinking about finding a man who wants to buy me shoes!

Ivy, I'll bet there are some lesbian stories somewhere that would do the trick.

On the topic of dominant women, I think the very fact that men are expected to be more dominant gives an added edge to reversing the roles, a flavor of transgression that can be sexy in itself.

Fluff to get you to the next story? lol

Honestly with all of the books Naked Reader has given me, there have only been a handful of stories I've been bored by.

For me, it needs to turn me on. If I get caught up in the story doesn't have to be super well-written.

It's also important to not make grammatical errors when posting about writing... sorry about the typo.

Ha!

Hi Sacchi - I was just thinking to myself when I read her comment that I bet there's bound to be a story in one of Sacchi's books she would enjoy..

I agree with Blue Koi and Ivy Wilde---It's awesome if it can turn me on---in general, I would like something if it gave me a good idea even if it doesn't turn me on.

But if it's poorly written, I won't be able to focus on the story. (I hate being a pedant, but I seriously can't turn that part of my brain off, even to enjoy a story.)

That's part of the reason I'm so much happier to pay for published erotica---on the internet, the bar is soooo low.

Yeah I agree to a certain extent. I enjoy good writing but as long as it doesn't trip me up as I'm reading with annoying repetiveness and silly phrases then I can enjoy erotica with less flowery language.

I am certainly willing to give it a try. Maybe I just haven't read the right lesbian sex scene, yet.
