How Often do you use written erotica for foreplay?

Contributor: Frank Thornton Frank Thornton
Do people read sex stories for self pleasuring only? Do they read sex stories as a form of foreplay before playing with a partner? Is it shared with a partner or done alone?

I use it to get ideas, but I don't use erotic literature during foreplay because I wouldn't use a textbook during a test. Also, we have a language barrier.

I do sometimes, but only on my own, never with a partner.

We're in the Naked Reader book club, so Alan & I read erotica together on a monthly basis. Whether turns out to be a form of foreplay or not depends on how good the story is.

Sometimes before partner play and often before solo play.

We've done it a few times. Usually I read it on my own.

I've very rarely used it as foreplay, but sometimes it just so happens that I'm absentmindedly reading a story and then sex ensues afterward with my partner.

I usually use it as a solo method of foreplay. Its great sometimes together also though~ <3
We usually don't need foreplay though.

She: Sometimes I'll read erotica on my own. Recently I've been thinking about trying it during foreplay. Might be another thing to add to our list of things to try out.

He: Now that I know about it, we'll have to give it a shot.

I've never used it with a partner, but that's a good point about using it for foreplay on yourself! That I have definitely done.

We will sometimes do that with each other. Its fun, my wife loves stories vs movies so that is a fun foreplay for her sometimes.

We don't necessarily read books per se but throughout the day I can tell my partner is ready to go when I get some well-written text messages. It's not your normal sexting really but more like role play. It really turns us both on.

I sometimes read it as a lead-in to masturbation. I've never used it with a partner, but I would!

you know acting out a scene from an erotic novel could be a fun and funny way to start off sex.

I often read it by myself but my partner isn't in to it. He's more a visual person so we'll use porn together. The only time he likes written erotica is when I read it out loud to him and make the appropriate sound effects

We did early on, but it caused major issues. It's basically nothing but a trigger now, so we don't use it anymore.
