Erotic litterature - What do you think?

[RestingUnderTheSun]

Not usually posting on here but I always enjoy reading posts in this section so wanted your pov on that.

I have noticed recently that you can find more and more erotic literature on the bookshelves next to more 'classic' literature. So it seems to become a very 'acceptable' thing.

But is it OK on a feminism pov or just as bad as porn (albeit it's only words on paper not real people)?

Anyway, I now have a release date for My Book. And would actually love to get it discussed all over the internet, naturally. I'm not just being a squawky MeMeMeeeee! author here, I do genuinely think that it's worth discussing why so much erotic (and romantic) fiction aimed at women has to feature a submissive woman and a dominant man. I've been told over and over again that this is 'what women want' but at the same time I know a lot of actual women who would far rather read about a powerful woman and a submissive/innocent/less powerful man/men. Anyone know any other good discussion sites to muscle in on?

Solid i read loads of Black Lace books in the 90s. And a few of them did feature powerful/dominant women and submissive men.

A few titles off the top of my head. Dark Obsession Rude Awakening Nadyas Quest The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (that was the first one i read which i got free with a copy of New Woman which is how i found out about BL.

Also used to buy Scarlet for the Cliterature section (they carried a really good serial by Mathilde Madden.)
When i read erotica i quite like reading about f/f even though ive never actually experienced it and m/m though i like m/f too.
Your book sounds great. Just my cup of tea. :)

And yes too much erotic fiction does depict a submissive woman and a dominant man. WH Smith and Tesco seem to be drowning in it at the mo

Darkest: would you like a link to the book's Facebook page, which has an extract uploaded? I don't think you have to have a Facebook account to view thepage.

Yes please
