Anaïs Nin and Henry Miller whiled away many an evening debating their top 20 tips:

see mine below…

You’re never too old to write (or read) erotica

There’s a fetish for everything

Cultivate characters’ individuality and inner charm

Men are optional 

Hats are optional (especially at orgies)

Helmets work best in size extra-large

Aliens like sex

   

So do sea monsters

So do dinosaurs

So does Bigfoot

Tied up ticklings can be titillating

There’s more to erotic fiction than romance

The tongue can be mightier than the sword

Tangos can be for more than two

Temper pleasure with pain

Wield words with the care of an artist’s brush

An unexpected perspective can prove thrilling

It’s good to innovate

Inspire playful urges

   

Render the reader lightheaded with arousal

We all like to be shocked (just a bit) 

Happy writing (and reading)

See how I do it here…
