Literotica
- Erotic Stories
Erotic fiction is the name given to fiction that deals with sex or sexual themes, generally in a more literary or serious way than the fiction seen in pornographic magazines and sometimes including elements of satire or social criticism.
Erotic stories of significant literary merit that can be classed as erotic literature include:
The Satyricon of Petronius Arbiter
Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin
The Story of O by Pauline Réage
Ada, or Ardor and Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
The Bicycle Rider by Guy Davenport
The 120 Days of Sodom by the Marquis de Sade
Story of the Eye by Georges Bataille
Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller
Romantic novels are sometimes marketed as erotica — or vice versa, as "mainstream" romance in recent years has begun to exhibit blatant (if poetic) descriptions of sex.
