I know there is a sex topic but I have it blocked because the only time I posted there I had weird DMs for weeks and the answers were mostly from men :/

But I am looking to find my libido a little but do not want to 'watch' anything, I do not like that.

I would like to read something, on my phone or tablet but again, when I have googled in the past I have gotten weird things and just some disturbing stuff and ended up giving up.

I would just like some normal heterosexual erotica without werewolves or being chained up and whipped 🤣

No, I'm a 42 year old perimenopausal mother, there are specific trolls for literacy erotica ?! 🤣 Bless them.

I'm not sure if I can do a whole book, I was thinking more short stories. My attention span is atrocious.

Literotica is a very mixed bag but you can find some good things on there.

Puppylucky · 23/05/2026 21:38

Second literotica - it's my go too!

Archive of Our Own if you have a specific series of non erotic books you like ...but would want to read more sexy stuff about any of the characters (ahem Professor Snape). It's fanfiction and you can filter by type of content, word count etc

NotDarkGothicMama · 23/05/2026 22:25

Not a short story as such, but The Chalet Girl is very readable.

ETA: No vampires or weird fetishes!
