I was thinking about the answer to this, and have a couple, to which no doubt I will add. But mostly in the year since I started writing, it has given me the confidence to explore my darkest fantasies, and share them with enjoyment and without any sense of embarassment.

And you? :catgrin:
 
It's allowed me to be creative once again. I always have been, but it was an aspect of myself I learned not to display over the years.

Computer programming and gaming were my major outlets for years.

Unfortunately, computer programming became 'normal' and so there wasn't much space for a person like me in it anymore.

And when I got ill, my friends all drifted away.

So I was pretty unhappy for a long time, having no outlets for my imagination.

Now I do, and one I'm pretty good at writing. It's done wonders for my self esteem.
 
When I found lit. and finnally carried out what I had been prompted by many friends to do( write erotica) I gained a lot of friends, and a way to spend time happily without eating b/c I am bored to tears. I also realized that I have a talent that I didn't realize. It's made me more confident.
 
Writing sexy stuff has allowed me to meddle and muddle and play with words. To relive in great detail lovely moments from my bedroom and other rooms...in some ways, it's made me focussed as a lover, I pay attention to the details more, like savouring moments almost as if I were choosing words to describe them.

I've also found paid projects through writing erotica, which has been a nice little spin off. Made lots of lovely friends as well! :)
 
It has made me a more interesting character. One of the biggest influences on my life was someone who told me that by far one of the most rewarding things is to be an intruiging person--be diverse and uncommon, do the things others do not.

Writing porn, while not my idea of the most high minded act, is fun and people find it interesting that I do it. I get questions about it, I get asked about reading it, I get a lot of attention from new people met and some of that is from the notion that I write erotica--on top of everything else--as a hobby.
 
I tend to ask not what Erotica can do for me, but what I can do for Erotica. ;)

bwahahaha.
 
For me, erotica is a way to explore and be creative in a way that demands nothing of me but my writing. It's an outlet, I suppose, and yet it gives back. I get to see what other people think of the stories, and therefore grow a little myself, hopefully getting better with each new page.

And... it's just damn good fun. ;)

There's a thing called "centipede's disease," meaning that if the centipede ever stopped and consciously thought which leg to move next, he'd be unable to walk at all.

I'd gotten like that with writing, so conscious of style and theory and the academic approach that I was finally unable to write anything at all for years. Porn gave me a way out of that. With porn, you just have to tell the story. You can leave all that other stuff to the critics.

I've learned a hell of a lot about telling stories, about what you put in and what you leave out; how details can create emotion. I've learned how almost everything in life has a sexual dimension, at least for me, and how deeply sexual feelings color everything I feel.

On top of that, I learned about my own sexual nature, about what I liked and didn't like. I think I've learned a lot about what sex is like from the other side of the gender line too. I'm not as intimidatred by women as I used to be. Of course, as lot of that just comes from hanging around on Lit, where you have all these perfectly wonderful people casually discussing anal sex and rape fantasies and incest. It turns out that women are human beings too. Who would have thought?
 
It's confirmed to me quite how much of a dark, perverted mind I possess, and it's even worse than I'd feared. ;)

In fact, it's great! Writing erotica has given me an avenue to write about everything I ever dared write about (and I mean the full scope, right from "Romantica" to "Erotic Horror"). It's also been a "discreet" way for me to write accounts of things, and store them forever more in written form, not merely in my memory.

It's also ended up introducing me to some brilliant people, and given me one very special friend in particular. If it hadn't been for writing erotica, I never would have met him, or any of you.

LOL. There are times when I think you try to say things in the most abrasive way possible. And then there are the times I'm sure of it. :D

I can't say that writing erotica ever did anything for me, but sharing it has definitely boosted my confidence. Plus, reading the works of other women has convinced me I'm not such a pervert after all.

I'm still not sure men are human beings though. ;)

Take Care,

Erotica has given me an outlet for all the things that I have heard, witness, and experance all my life. I found a way to scream all the things that could only be thought of as fiction. It's not only writing fiction that has done this for me, but also this website as the forum.
 
A secret for you

Well, I've done it forever, and even worse, I like having an audiance and sharing it with other people. At times I haven't written smut, at times I have. I can't even remember exactly when it started. Thirteen maybe? Maybe eleven? By fourteen I was writing my girlfriends fantasies into hot little stories and they would take them, recopy them in their handwriting and give them to their boyfriends. I was a Jr. High SMUTT ghost writer of all things in my little circle. So I'm not sure what it has done for me, it is me, a part of me rather. If any of you are one of those poor boys, that got one of those letters. Sorry, or your welcome, whichever is appropriate. :) That shy little blond, with the big tits, who couldn't look you in the face and used to walk down the hall holding hands with your girl friend, well, she wrote the porn.

The only thing I have ever regretted is when I was seventeen my mother found a batch of letters I had written to my lover at the time. They were pretty explicit and involved very ritualistic sex in churches, which was my fascination at the time. The letters made her cry and fet about my mental state. Poor mom. I don't regret writing them, but I do wish that she hadn't read them.
 
I started writing stories in junior high - long ones, but somehow, once I graduated college, and started working, I forgot all about writing, and how much I'd enjoyed it once upon a time.

Fast forward twenty years - I quit working outside the home for the first time since school, and I complained to my mother about how bored I was most of the time, and that I would probably go back to work.

She said, "Why don't you start writing again?"

I swear, I had honestly forgotten all about the joy I'd gotten from writing. Her little push was all I needed to pick it up again. Writing erotica was a nice, painless way for me to ease my way back into it. My first stories here at Lit are horrible, but I've been able to share those, and get some feedback, which helps me know what I'm doing right, and what I'm doing wrong.

Another plus is the wonderful, intelligent, witty, and sometimes insane people I've met through writing erotica here at Lit. I treasure the chance to truly be myself with y'all. The chance to have truly talented people to discuss, whine, and bitch about the writing process with is the icing on the cake. ;)

I'd say it IS the cake. :D :kiss:
 
Like Cloudy and Willow Rain, I started writing sex back in High School.
Some of my current stories are reworked versions of some of those early attempts.

later, I used my writing to work out some issues of my own- it helped me delineate who I am... some of the me's anyway!
 
I never really thought of what erotica did for me. Now that I have. I guess you could say it has opened up a whole new world. I love to write. I did in High School. Then stopped.
Till someone sent me the link to Lit. He knew I love to read, also he thought it would get me all steamed up for him. Well, the joke was on him ... I became obsessed with the writing. Mostly poetry. I do read the stories, just love to twist my lil mind around a poem, let it flow through me. So I started writing again. I might not be the best. I do know, I love it ....
Answer to your question: Writing erotica, lets me have my time. To do as I wish, be who I want, see ... feel it all. Anything and everything is possible ... in Erotica Land~
 
BUMP

I am intereted in seeing
how a month can change things
... minds here at Lit ...

:kiss:
 
Thanks for bumping RhymeFairy. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

For me, it's not just the writing, it's the reading as well. To read a story that somewhat matches a fantasy really makes me smile inside. It gives authority to my own fantasy. Some of those are no longer mere fantasies. :eek:

I share my stories with my husband. Those written fantasies help him to see a side of me he hadn't otherwise seen. Writing gives me an avenue of communication with him. It also makes him horny as hell, which has it's own benefits. :nana:

On a technical level, the erotic vignettes that I write give me a clear beginning and a clear ending; that has helped me greatly in following through. I also think my writing has become more subtle (if subtle porn is possible…), if not in content, then in style.

On a mental level, writing erotica has both sensitized me and desensitized me. Sexual activity that I would have viewed as extreme a few years ago, is now, at least mentally, not all that shocking. The flipside is that almost everything has sexual connotations. My sensual and sexual wires are tripping the same breaker; tactile pleasure quickly, and almost always, becomes sexual.

I think I'm bent, now. Just a bit, but good or bad, something's bent.

Much luck,

Yui
 
For me, like others have said, it's given me an outlet, allowed me to write which is something I've always enjoyed. It's also given me a sexual outlet, it's given me the opportunity to explore my sexuality in depth and to really think about my spirituality and how sex works into that.


Also it's made me alot of friends, a little bit of money and some recognintion.


It's all good :D
 
Ah gee fellows

To paraphrase line from "Pupp Fiction,"

"Now let's all sit around and have a circle jerk! There is writing to do!"

I love this crowd! No, really!
 
So much... :devil:

On a serious note, it's improved my writing skills. I've been given an enthusiastic audience and, despite the fact that I bitch about it quite regularly, the voting system has given me the motivation I needed to write better stories.

I live in a quiet sheep-and-villages part of the country, so it's given me something constructive to do with my overactive imagination. If anything it's made me even more of a daydreamer / escapist type. I've learned how to perfect the art of looking like I'm paying attention at work, but really writing stories in my head.

It's given me the thrill of leading a double life. At first the two worlds were kept separate, but I'm getting to be more of a scheherazade_79 in real life. Just little things - and I'm enjoying watching people's mouths drop open. I was raised to be respectable, reserved and conformist. These days I'm pretty much following my own star, and life's never been such fun.

And finally, although I'll never know the actual numbers, it's quite an ego trip to wonder how many beautiful women I've given orgasms to through my stories :cool:
 
I met some cool peeps, made some cool friends.

I got my fiction read by thousands. Never happened before, or after. That's pretty neat.
 
Its made me more creative in many avenues. How many different ways can I think of to have sex? What are inner reactions to the act itself? How many different ways can I say cock or tits or fuck? Can I make an alliterative sentence describing a spanking?

Like many others its opened my eyes to my own sexual tastes and preferences. What really turns me on or makes me weak in the knees. What are my "hot buttons" and how are they best pushed?

And of course the conversations, the comraderie of this place is wonderful too.

Now if it would just help me get laid.
