5 CommentsOver at my blog, we've just begun having a discussion about erotic prose -- how difficult it is to write well, and how much really, really bad stuff there is out there. Here's an example supplied by a reader:
The Borgia Bride by Jeanne Kalogridis.
“At last, he mounted me, and inserted himself; prepared, I felt no pain, only enjoyment, and once he had emptied himself in me, he took care afterwards to bring me pleasure as well. I so delighted in the act. . .” etc.
Ewwww, is all I can say.
I'm trying to think of examples of successful sex scenes, but am drawing a blank. I suppose it's because there are so few. Can anyone summon up one they particularly liked? Or didn't?

Can you say "metaphor?" Errr, that is, lack thereof? :)

The best erotic prose I ever read comes from a blog I call
"word cum heaven" - findingnorway.com.
A young women from the Philippines; she doesn't write just erotic prose but her writing is always erotic, there is nothing like it out there. Sadly she had to move her blog and lock it down a year ago so it is members only.
I rarely see good erotic prose, at least nothing written in my lifetime.

I like to take my own experiences and then just write about the feelings step by step. I think its easier to write if its personal.
