Erotic stories in BDSM \ Fetish scene

[vMasteruk]

I'm planning on doing a discussion on erotic stories in BDSM at our Munch followed by a reading of a favourite story.

Among the regulars of our much I'd say there are not really many readers, whereas there is a big trade in BDSM related DVDs - the visual stimulus seems to be used much more than the written word. While I think there are some great DVDs about somehow I find the use of the imagination that goes along with reading erotic stories is often far more erotic.

So I want to stimulate people to think about the positive benefits of reading erotic stories in the scene. Do people find them a useful substitute when they don't have a partner? Do people read them together to get ideas for scenes? Are newbies reading stories to help them think about what they might like to try? Or is it mainly used by people online who can't or don't want to have r/l play?

I'd be interested in what people think about this - and what they find exciting \ positive about reading BDSM related stories.

I love erotica. BDSM erotica is definitely sensual stimuli for me...and I get plenty of rl play. It gives me ideas, lets my mind rehash things I have personally done with perhaps a different veiwpoint than I would have come to on my own, and feeds the fire...

I am also not much of a voyeur, and not very into pornography. I was reading here on lit a long long time before I ever realized there were forums.

I think the most positive aspect is the personal twist one can place on what they are reading. One can be a character in the story... how do you do that with a porn?

Reading while scening though? I am the most avid bibliophile I know and that seems beyond me. Can you explain further what you mean by that?

I don't think I said that! Sorry if I did! I was refering to whether people used ideas from stories in real time play

Thanks for your comments.

Anytime. And to answer the question now that I better understand it... yes. I have enacted ideas from stories, and know of others who have too. Nothing new under the sun and all that jazz...

Have a great day

To be honest, the BDSM-flavored visual porn I've seen creeps me out. But erotic stories? Yeah, love 'em. They are nice to continue in my head, because the ones I tend to read tend to be more romantic and cuddly (with BDSM thrown in). They're not quite the same as having a real live partner, but they certainly aren't horrible.

Heck, my first introduction to BDSM was through Literotica's stories. I find more information through the boards now, but it's still sometimes fun to sift through the stories for food for thought.

I write stories for my Master's pleasure. I'm not asked to, this is just my gift to him because we can't be together right now. They involve different things, some most often things I'd like to share with him and things I haven't done before. He loves reading them.

I don't read a lot of erotica, but when I was starting into this area I did read a bit of the more popular bdsm stuff here. I found it interesting, and brought to my attention things I had never heard of let alone considered. which gave me a point to explore and research.

When I was first exploring BDSM, growing my self awareness of what I'd always wanted but termed "sick" and wrong, I read at Lit a lot. When I found the boards I read a lot of them and still do. I also started writing SRP in mostly BDSM a lot.

Before that, I also cybered BDSM a lot. I was hot and ready to go ALL the time in RL. I miss those days at times. I miss that constant burning and sizzle that I had then. Sometimes I feel like a shadow of who I was then and as a sexual being.

I didn't only read BDSM stories though. A lot of them weren't bent to my cup of tea but some were great. I also enjoyed, group sex, anal, father/daughter incest if sex were actually involved rather than just teasing and masturbating, fetish, and anal stories.

I don't know why I stopped all that or if I could get any of it back again.
Maybe doing things in RL stopped the need for it. I think it has more to do with a lack of time, creativity and energy. I have hopes of getting those things back again and at least writing again.

Now I'm sort of afraid of stoking the fires because I don't know when I'll have the time or energy to do anything about them. I hate that. I love a good story. I like what I consider to be erotica rather than porn. I don't enjoy sounds and sights of films. I've always read to an orgasm when masturbating.
I'm simply not doing that much these days.

Whereas in sex rather than a scene, I write my own fantasies in order to reach the level of excitement needed to come. Some of my old fantasies have been put on Lit as stories. Usually once they are stories for others to read they no longer can "do the job" for me any longer. I must delve deeper for more when that happens.

i love BDSM erotica

i read it

i write it

i even have a story posted here at lit

the story section was what drew me to lit in the first place. i enjoy sittin gdown and reading one or two (or more). they often give me ideas fro things to do with or suggest to A. i think the written erotic word is very powerful.

I always prefer the written word to screenplay, unless there is some sort of exceptional quality photography. Though I have read my fair share of erotica and enjoyed much of it, I tend to spend more time writing it these days. Unfortunately I have to be careful what I write as he then gets all sorts of nasty ideas which he claims I put in his head through my writing and on purpose so he could do them to me.

I'd be interested in what people think about this - and what they find exciting \ positive about reading BDSM related stories.

I started lurking around the story section of Lit long before I found the boards, and before I even started to think that the fact I wasn't satisfied with the sex I'd been having before my current SO might have to do with the fact that I wanted to explore something rather less 'nilla. I read stories (not all of them BDSM) while I was masturbating, and still do sometimes. Video and visual porn doesn't always do much for me, because shots of isolated body parts are just not all that interesting and I often think the actors/models look creepily fake. When reading a story, I can use my imagination and make the characters look however I want or be whomever I want. However, a story has to be well written or I get distracted.

I am, in fact, quite a newbie. And I have been reading stories to get ideas for scenes. I really hadn't even fantasized about BDSM all that much before, but I'm starting to get an idea of what turns me on and what, for me, would be taking things too far. I've come up with a list of things I'd like to try. I think reading some stories with my SO would also be a good idea, as sometime we seem to hit a wall when it comes to communicating about things we'd like to try. I've been writing a story with my ideas that I'll give to him when it's done. Maybe I'll post it on Lit eventually, we'll see. But reading has certainly helped me a lot and given me much to think about.
