Would you read erotica that started with a funeral?

Well, a cremation, to be accurate, followed by some brutal grief-fucking in the gents.

Yes/No? Well, I've never written anything quite like it before, so it meets the parameters of experimentation.

All you closet GMers, strange fiction is coming.

Cumming.

Did we ever resolve that argument?

And what up-coming competition category can I slide this into for a really good, no-lube trolling? :cool:
 
Yes. Would you read a story that starts with a girl's mother driving her to court for sentencing?

I think a jarring beginning can pull readers in, making them think "I've got to know what the hell this is about."

Excellent!

Tell me more about this girl being driven to court for sentencing...
 
Absolutely. Harold and Maude met at a funeral. Lots of twisted possibilities.

Probably not if I came looking for erotica. Death isn't one of my many kinks.

Totally agree with this🌹
people say they hate drama in their lives, but the fact is is if it is more interesting than a person’s life events, they latch on to it and get drawn into it on some level. Call it human curiosity, but most everyone has it. Kant👠👠👠
 
Harold and Maude was a 1971 cult classic romantic black comedy about romance between teenage boy and 79 year old woman. He was fascinated by death and visited funerals, and met Maude at one.
 
It's a cult classic.

When I was in college, back in the Dark Ages (the 1980s), it was shown all the time on campuses.

Jason's a young person. He's got a variable age, but for the best part of the 1980's he wasn't even a twinkle in anybody's eye. He thinks Bon Jovi is classical music...

Yes.

The only thing that could possibly detour further reading would be if there's sex
with the ashes of the deceased close by.

Would it have been better if the sky were blue and the trees were green and the wild flowers blossomed along the roadside? Or would the end of so much color in my life have made it harder to bear?

I watched the bare trees and the dirty snow banks roll by as my mother drove me to the courthouse. We sat in silence as the radio gave us the morning news. There had been a bombing in the Middle East, a plane crash in Mexico, a mass shooting at a school in Ohio. There was always such bad news. Somebody was always killing someone. Somebody was always being killed. Somebody was always going to prison because somebody killed somebody...

All anyone needs is a little CCR as an introduction to classical.;)
 
With a sexy widow dressed in black, that's hot, done right an intro starting with a funeral could be good.

Funny you should say that. That was my first thought


Dane had never been to a funeral before. In the movies, it was always raining. People stood around, dressed in black, and there was always some hot bird crying into a hanky with a veil over her face.

This funeral didn’t have any rain. Or mourners. Or a graveyard. No grieving widow. Just Dane, and a pine coffin, and the furnace the coffin was about to slide into.


 
I like the idea of a funeral as a start.

A funeral does mark the end of life. However it could also be the start of a new and different life for the departed’s loved ones.
 
It's not quite a funeral, as per the OP, but I'm pulling at least a mild MelissaBaby with one of my stories in mid-write. It starts with an account of a traumatic childhood experience. The rest of the story generally involves the main character resolving that pain. I agree with MB and Kantarii that it adds more interest to erotica. (Or at least I hope it will, in this case...)
 
At my wife's funeral I had two women try to hook up with me. While a little flattered I wasn't interested.

I can understand a funeral as a meeting place, the beginning of new life for those who cared for the deceased, whose lives were on hold for the years they gave their care. Often they find themselves obliged to care for a person they don't like. I think it is a much more common phenomena than most people would imagine. For many, by the time the funeral is on, everyone would be well and truly prepared and probably stultified by the respect expected to be provided, that they have been subjected to for so long.
 
Would I read erotica that started with a funeral? Why not?

If the story is in a category that I like and as long as it’s a good funeral.
