Do you remember your introduction to erotica?

[intim8]

The one I remember is getting 'Biography of a Space Tyrant' by Piers Anthony out of the library. I don't think they'd quite realized the content, but it was the first time I'd read a book where I ended up realizing that the science-fiction was in service to the sex, rather than it being science-fiction with a mere sprinkling of sex on top.

Looking back, that book was all kinds of wrong and, no, definitely wouldn't be publishable here. I won't say any more.

Oh, that brings back memories. Not that story specifically, but his "The Barn" in "Again Dangerous Visions". Holy Hell, that might have been the first time I read flat out porn by a real writer. I think I got it at the school library too, probably Jr High.

Well, I read it. Skimmed mostly. It was enjoyable nostalgia time. I'm sure I read it when it was first out.
Is it the age thing you were referring to when you said they wouldn't publish it here? The detail was pretty mild.

Yeah, honestly it was thirty years ago and the 'detail' probably seemed a lot more detailed when I was fourteen. I do seem to remember part one ('Refugee') featuring child rape repeatedly.

Thirteen years old, can't remember exactly what I typed in but I do know 'milf' was one of the keywords. A couple pages in, I found a link to this website and clicked it. Mind was blown when I realized not only are there videos that are about what I like, but stories as well. Not only that, but the stories are more varied and can have more detailed.

Years later, it occurred to me that I can even write stories about the kinks I like, and here I am.

Mom's romance novels. There was a whole wall of them. This was the 80s, maybe into the 90s. I got good at flipping through with an eye out for words like throbbing and heaving.

Harlequin Romance? AKA: Bodice Rippers.

Pretty standard Mom Porn that I recall seeing a lot of in my youth, but I didn't know what they were at the time and they were not marketed towards Teen-aged Males.

I just finished it. It hearkened back to the romances I read decades ago. I enjoyed it, partly for nostalgic reasons. I'll print out the list in order and put them on my Kindle for backup when I run out of library books before I have tome to replace them.

Thanks for the serendipitous connection.

Glad you enjoyed it. I don't remember how old it is, but I think it was fairly old when I stole it. If you're trying to get the series, you're in for a challenge. That was back around 05, I ran across another one around '13 because the title looked familiar, in a thrift store; Celebrity In Death, I think it was. Something told me to check it and I about lost my shit when I saw the title list page with NID at the top, and several following books. The feeling was kinda like just finding out your car was stolen- I had work to do and walked out that joint with six of them.

I have fourteen of them, it's been years since I bought the last one, and the last time I saw a new one was a few years ago in Walmart, or Walgreen's, or Kroger. I figure she does or did one or two a year, so if my maths right, and it rarely is; I have like... sixty of then to get. I've never seen a book series this long, that wasn't a manga. I just wish there was more sex in these Romance/Mystery books. The banter between Dallas and Roarke can be entertaining, cute, or hilarious, but there are books with no sex in them at all.

They seem to be available on Amazon in Kindle format.

I enjoy the hunt. EXCELSIOR!!!!

About 29 years ago my wife was not happy with my choice of erotic literature. Stories were a bit graphic for her taste. She then told me if I need to read sex stories to read her Literotica book, I did enjoy some of the stories, others were more suited for her.
That phase then dies until about 3 years ago, I discovered this site and started reading submissions again. The more I explored this site the more I got hooked.
Really like the classified section - been looking for one like this since CL got rid of theirs. It's more classy here - Logging on is becoming a morning ritual for me.

As https://forum.literotica.com/members/ag31.5810060/ writes, I too was introduced to Erotica when I was given an illustrated copy of The Story of O, by Pauline Reagen. I was still at school and I have to admit it gave me a thrilling sense of goosebumps and all sorts of other strange feelings.

What's your story?

Back in maybe -91 or -92 or there around, I found a row of books in mom's bookshelf behind her hard crime stuff that I'd just started reading. Had all sorts of erotica, most of which I can't recall anymore.

One of them was illustrated though. A collection of 52 drawings. This was way before I'd ever seen any porn mags or such, and we didn't really talk about sex among friends. So, a certain teenage vagrant made sure to get home real fast from school, before mom got off work, for a good couple of months.

I asked her about that book many years later over many a glass of wine, and to my surprise she gifted it to me.

I still have it! Anstöt ("Offense") by Peter van Straaten.

Love that art style

Love that art style

I'm glad you do!
Peter was really skilled at capturing the emotion in their faces with such a minimalistic style.

The man looks... kind? Like he really cares about her. And she looks ecstatic! They're all wonderful drawings that I didn't truly appreciate until I had the chance to view them as an adult.

Great subtle details, I agree... but those sharp skates are making me nervous so close to such a sensitive area on such a slippery surface

I can't really remember if this was the first erotica I ever read, but the first story I read on literotica was 'How NOT to Stop a Gangbang' by fastandsloppy!

 

[mrs_mackenzie]

I vividly remember being a teenager and being desperately attracted to the (I thought) sexy and confident girls on the front of Zoo or Nuts or whichever. I was too embarrassed to actually buy or read them, though. At a girls' sleepover we 'borrowed' the host's brother's magazine and I remember absolutely loving the "true reader's stories" section. They weren't really erotica, just short fantasies, but they really appealed to my imagination. After that I discovered the internet and novels with sex in.

As for real erotica, I went though an extremely strong exhib phase for some reason, so the Exhibitionist section of Lit was really my first introduction to reading it.

 

[Mogrem]

First was, I think, a one off pull out short erotica section from a men's mag. FHM maybe?

But the real introduction was the Kristen Archives on the asstr network, which I think goes back to BBS days. That collection makes Literotica look practically Victorian by comparison. No wonder they have had to change domains a few times.

The Kristen archives were excellent, there were a few other collections on Asstr that were also good.

I was probably 10 or 11 and was spending astronomical amounts of time at the rest home where my grandfather was living. I liked it there ...there was a kitchen where guests and family members could make coffee or cocoa and relax, and a bookshelf filled to overflowing.

I discovered that said bookshelf held volume upon volume of Harlequin romance magazines (about the size of Reader's Digest, but smut). That was my first foray into erotica, and I definitely stole a couple volumes and re-read them until they were falling apart.

Around this same age, I also came across a copy of The Raggedy Man and while I read it cover to cover and really appreciated the book as a whole, I read the dirty parts over and over, often.

When I was 17 I discovered a Lit story that would quite literally change the trajectory of my young life (that's a long fucking story for another time) called The Bitch by destinie21.

Aubrey Beardsley drawings, shown to me by my best friend when I was young. His dad was an art professor.

Big boobs run in my mom's family. 2 sisters and I liked when panties had something in them.
When I was the right height, I loved hugs and getting smashed into nice boobs. Before that I would get lost while mom was shopping to hide under the dress racks and look up skirts of other shoppers. Lucky I was cute.
The girl next door.
On vacation, the girl across the street from my grandmothers. Taught me how to kiss and let me see like I did with the girl next door.
After discovering masturbation.... (9)
First erotica was print. Club Magazine that my friends dad brought home from a biz trip. Those perfect boobs were a goal until I found them in 11th grade.
I think that same day there was a Penthouse and I loved the stories. I was about 14 I guess. Friend and I talked about jerking off, then wiped em out and did. In hustler I liked everyone was naked and aroused.
Not sure where/how I found them but every penthouse I needed to read the stories and find one to jerk off to. I still like prefer pussy hair.
HBO. Early cable I used a coat hanger and tinfoil to tune the scrambled signal and see boobs.
Once I could drive at night, in the next town over was a drive in theater with porn. I got kicked out for backing the station wagon in so we could lay down and watch. Or they could see we were under age.
After my first, I found my way with some more experienced women. I liked acting as if I had no idea about licking pussy. Having them teach me. That was better than any erotica I can remember. The first I don't mean to be rude but fat girl. I haven't had a blow job like that again. And she liked it from behind and they way it felt when I squirted on her back. That may have been the first time I felt guilty or bad. Not sure why. I let her completely relax as I licked her like a servant. Did as I was told for her.
I went to the titty bar a few times. By that time I was more interested in finding learning succeeding in being able to meet and find a way for new women to end up naked with me. Was pretty lucky with that. Lived close to a bar that stayed open later than others. Was friends with many cook ans waiters. Had a place at the beach and a boat. Once I had real jobs I fished off the company pier rather successfully. Had a stint with some soft swing life style included.
Now I wish I could find more movies that were sexual. Not porn or raw nudity but seduction. Forbidden love that is sexual and secret. Door in the floor kind of stuff.
Mostly I like the real thing. I think a lot of my erotica was the real thing. I know many of the women I was with were not habitually casual. Having a married woman want me always seemed to do something for me too.

 

[PersonalFavors]

Oh wait. Is National Geographic erotica? Or that show on PBS where the lions do it.... hahaha

Do you remember your introduction to erotica?​

Assuming you mean the written word, which is what it seems like, then here. A few years back. Before the idea of writing popped into my head.

I’d discovered visual porn earlier, but written porn was quite a recent thing. And I’ve never read anything other than here.

I’m kinda embarrassed that I can’t recall the title or author of the story that I first read. It was a straightforward lesbian story. With slight domination aspects. I recall it was pretty well-written, but not much more.

[Bossybats]

when I was in the US Marine Corps I crossed paths with a guy that was not shy about his love to dominate women. He had several paperback erotica novellas about rough sex and or outright rape. I found them very arousing.
Fast forward a few years and I am at my parents house snooping around and find my moms copy of the story of O… sort of set the pattern of me and my likes.

 

[Bad_Boy_2]

I found a book in a backlane, I cannot remember the title, but the model on the front was spectacularly pale white, like a ghost, with wonderful breasts sort of hidden by the title. It was about an Aunt/Nephew relationship, so of course I veered directly into incest. What an amazingly hot read.
