Trying Something New

[Ekserb]

In the spirit of being cerebral, we wanted to ask our faithful viewers if they think our work is erotic, and if so, why? What does eroticism mean to you, and how is it different from porn? Thanks.

Porn (amateur or professional) seems to be geared toward instant sexual gratification—the audience is expected to "use" the medium for masturbatory fantasy.

Erotica is, in my opinion, anything not meant for purely prurient purpose, but still too graphic or sexual to be considered glamour or "artistic" by the mainstream audience. (In the photography world, artistic photos are generally nudes that do not show explicit depictions of genitalia, though that has been known to happen. It many times depends on the social and professional status of the artist as the big names can get away with more risque photos and still be considered "art.")

Of course, each of these definitions are dependent on the mindset of the viewer. One person might see porn and another might see erotica. Judging from the vast majority of feedback on this site (and not just on this thread), I'd say the Literotica audience generally considers the photos here porn, with a smattering of erotica thrown in.

More stripes series

I love this view.... would love to see a spiral series of shots... starting low on one side of girl,,,, circling up the body.... from different angles...

then circling back down and the clothing has come off of girl....even better if there was some foreplay in between the stripping.... nice hard nipples with a hint of saliva on them... theose sexy pouty pussy lips with a sheen of moisture...

Thanks, Ekserb, for this great reply. I was thinking about this topic because people use the term erotic and erotica in different ways. For me, many things can be erotic, including porn, but erotica makes me think of a certain style or genre of art. What we're putting on here is probably porn, as our intention is to arouse and tease people, and we're fine with that. We wouldn't be doing this if we didn't love porn. We're making the kind of stuff that gets us off. I do think the way we're doing it, whether it's graphic or not, has artistic qualities, because that's also one of our intentions. Ultimately, like you said, it's in the mindset of the viewer.

I think you've said it! Some people just post closeups and very hard core porn... some post very sexy but not sexual erotica stuff....

somewhere in the middle are the very SEXUAL things.... watching you both having sexy... still has a sexual/erotic side.

It's very appealing

2. touch
3. smell
4. sound
5. taste


These are mine:
1. touch

in chronology

1. sight... especially the provocative glimmer in the eyes
2. smell .... on with certain smells... Opium perfume drives me crazy
3. touch... lightly, at first, heavy breathing against my neck, then the slow wrapping of arms around me... feeling the wantonness
4. Sound... slowly increasing the deep breaths to become lusty talk
5. taste and smell again... the taste of sweet nector on my lips.. kissing and then back again

Great additions FC but as far as the voting goes I'd enjoy seeing a wee bit more of Girl Not to say that your not Built .. But Girl definitely gets my juices pumping first thing in the morning and She looks far better than Boy would in a Corset and those Amazing nipples of her's

Some great pop up Last Nite as well .. Thanks for Sharing 12 Red 's for Girl and java for Boy

Thanks for the comment OneHD! Maybe Boy would look good in a corset!

[just4friends]

so... you'd like him in a corsette?

Thanks for the comment OneHD! Maybe Boy would look good in a corset!

I'm not going to suggest more, that might get boy in trouble should you come up with other ideas that would show him why you like what he does to you. I'm sure you like the view of him from behind him. I'll say no more.

Erotica vs Porn.... Erotica... no pay... and real feelings.... real orgasms.

Thanks for tackling the erotica thing. Pay seems to play a big part in how people view it. I think it's definitely a big factor, though not always.

Well yes That Sound is always a turn on So I guess I need 6 or perhaps 69 and I have to agree with there .. He wouldn't

I like this. Here are mine:

1. sight
2. touch
3. sound
4. smell
5. taste

But it depends a little on my mood, it can vary

there are smells I simply cannot resist, and sometimes just a sexy little breath or moan can set me off...

We really should add mind to the list.

I agree. And that comes almost before all others...
