I posted for the first time last week. I had been looking for an male literary agent who handled erotica for hetero males. Now, thanks to the people who responded, I am going for a publisher. This has saved me alot of time and aggravation waiting for the selected agent's response. Now that I realize the genre I picked for my first humorous historical erotica novel (under my nom de plume, Allard Chardon, a large hard-on, of course) basically does not exist, I will set about to right that wrong. Literary erotica belongs to all! For the record, I am a woman writing for a man's pleasure and I love it because I am the co-star of The Undertaker Meets The French Madam. I am in the business of pleaure as Gigi, the French Madam from New Orleans, who was born from a long line of illegitimate lovers. And it all takes place in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1857, amongst Brigham Young and his obedient Latter Day Saints. The novel is 107,000 words and 33 chapters of hetero-male erotic delight in the Old West. Long live the new Genre - Hetero-male Erotica!!
 
Good for you! Please stick around, and if you want, visit the STORY link in my sig, which is a community for writers polishing their work for publishing.
I know I want to keep in touch, and hear how it goes-- and help, if I can.

Only-- should we call you Allan, or Gigi? :D
 
The book sounds very interesting--and I'm sure there's a market for it; there are tons of hetero male magazines around; leaf through some of those and you'll probably find references to likely publishers. Best of luck with getting it published. (The producers of your movie most likely have some leads into print publishing as well.)
 
Allard or Gigi?

My nom de plume is Allard Chardon, a French man's name, translated "a large hard-on" because I like a good joshing. I am thinking of having my picture taken dressed as a French man, sort of like Victor/Victoria, for the novel. A beret, a cravat, dark rimmed thick glasses, and a long black cigarette holder and I hope I do not end up looking like Truman Capote! My main character's name is Genevieve Giselle Hobart. The nickname given her by her mother, G.G., becomes her name for the rest of her life, Gigi. My name is Glenna Gail and that is my mother's nickname for me. Any of the above work for me. Thanks for your interest.
 
Somewhat on topic, in a convo on a different forum, someone mentioned that the "new Westerns" seem to have become romance for men. She says they are pretty graphic sexually, too. I've asked her for titles. This might be interesting to you because it's easier to enlarge a market than it is to create one from scratch!
 
Sex first, romance later

I am not interested in romance unless it comes from within the realms of great sexual compatability. Even then, it probably is lustful instead of emotional. I am fuzzy on this romance thing. It seems romance is another name for those who deny their true, lusty, animal natures. Fucking is a frantic act with a lovely resolution, hopefully. The grunting, groaning, moaning, screaming in delight sounds of fuckmaking give it away. Maybe I am jaded having failed at love. But I have been pretty successful with sex. Of course, if you are halfway decent looking, a woman can usually get laid easier than a man. That is because the woman usually is holding the highest card, le pusse. But what is a pussy without a dick, I ask you?

Call her Gigi and I might cry :(

Wait a moment, the answer's on the tip of my tongue... :p

I like your point of view-- I'm inclined to agree with you about romance /lust.

It is a fine meal my dear..... as delicious as the turtle soup at Commander's Palace
 
Ah yes, back when I thought men might be the buyers of erotica instead of just the looky loos. The women are the market in erotica and pleasing them makes all the difference in your paycheck. IMHO

AHHH But it is the talented writer that skillfully captures both audiences into her erotic tales!

Ah, then, there's a rub. You want to catch what male readers want/find arousing? You might best be a male writer. In my own main field of erotica, I just shake my head at what women book reviewers thought would turn on a man. Women writers tend to assume men can't write for women--but that women can write for men. It's part of the general female conceit, I think. (Of course, on the individual level, there are exceptions.)
 
One of the fascinating social/cultural changes over the last few decades has been the shift in the primary target market for erotic/porn writing from men to women.

Rumple Foreskin :cool:
 
I studied J K Rowling on this one. She is a woman writing through the eyes of a young boy, in the beginning. Her real character in the tale is Hermoine. The same is true for my novel. The story revolves around the sexual experiences of the Undertaker in a secret high class parlor house. I am the Madam. And even though I am a woman, I have been interviewing men about sexual turn-ons and how their minds work for years.

So far, no one has said that I am off mark on my sex scenes. In fact, a couple of men have asked me how I managed to think so much like a man. But I have always felt more like a man, in regards to sex, than a woman. I am just not a romantic type and haven't been since my first unrequited love when I was 16. I was crushed. The young man did not like Big Boobs and I was carrying 38Ds up front. Life is ironic at times.
