How to Write Erotic Nonfiction
Introduction
Writing erotic nonfiction can be an exciting yet potentially intimidating practice even for the more seasoned writer. Such a topic demands addressing parts of personal fantasy and experience that might seem potentially embarrassing. However, the liberation enjoyed in such self exploration can yield personal fulfillment and literary spice.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Steps
1
Step One
Write with an eye to titillate, not repel. Erotic nonfiction is not the same thing as pornography and you will find that suggestion goes much farther than mechanical descriptions.
2
Step Two
Look closely into your own fantasies and experiences for the novel and intriguing. Your readers will quickly tire of workaday descriptions of average sex. They are reading your book to find something different.
3
Step Three
Explore your darker side. Much erotica is devoted to marginalized sexual identity groups, including gays and lesbians and fantasy participants.
4
Step Four
Contextualize the encounters you relate in your book. Erotic nonfiction is not merely a panorama of sexual scenes. Erotic contact is the focal point of your book, but it must be embedded within an interesting story.
5
Step Five
Review carefully to ensure you are meeting audience expectations. Just because a piece is nonfiction doesn't mean you are writing a journal entry. Remember the fundamentals of pacing, description and meaningful dialog.
6
Step Six
Craft the characters of the story so that they appeal to your erotic sense. Nonfiction is based on facts, but creative nonfiction of this kind demands looking into the inner truth of a situation.
Tips & Warnings
- Never forget that the majority of erotica is read by women. As a result, most of this kind of writing is written from the woman's perspective.
