I'm curious as to what motivates others to write erotica. I've been a fan of written erotica since 1966, when the book, Valley of the Dolls, came out. My mother found the book in my room and confiscated it. Like many things that she didn't approve of. Little did she/they know that we -- my brother, my sister wasn't in on it -- had discovered my dad's stash of Playboy magazines. He had every issue from #1. We had also discovered their stash of 8mm porn videos. We'd use their projector to watch them, inviting friends over for the event.
But I digress...By the time I had graduated high school, I had discovered paperback erotica in certain...bookshops, we'll call them. I was hooked, virgin though I still was but hated being. When I finally started writing erotica myself, I was ~50, I think. I enjoy the writing, thinking of the stories, but I have to admit that I write to get myself excited more than anything. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
I know that there are writers here on Literotica who take their writing very seriously and I commend and appreciate that. I'm a bit anal about grammar and spelling, but I definitely am NOT a 'writer' by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe a cheap erotic storyteller or something. I'm not delusional about what it is that I write, but then I have an objective...excite myself!
I'm curious to hear about other writers' motivations, inspirations.
