About Erotic Novels
erotisk novelle has been around since the 1800s. It took a hit during the Victorian era, however, when puritanical ideals ruled mainstream culture and erotic literature was shunned. The genre took a comeback in the 20th century, when writers like Nabokov and Henry Miller dabbled with explicit romances. Then, with the advent of e-readers and social media, authors began to push the envelope even further.
Seduction in the Shadows
Whether it’s a steamy fantasy or a non-fictional memoir about polyamory, the authors featured in this article write stories that evoke desire and challenge preconceived notions of gender and sexuality. Some of these books are explicit, but they all explore sex in a deeper context than just the physical.
While erotic fiction can be controversial, it is also often inspiring. Many of the readers who responded to our survey said that erotic novels offer an escape from the stresses of everyday life. And the majority of those who read these books say they enjoy sharing their experiences with others. Most frequently, they do this in person with friends, but some also use blogs and internet fora.
Many of the people we interviewed reported that reading erotic novels helps them become more comfortable with their own sexual desires. They also learn to articulate their own feelings more clearly to their partners, which can strengthen relationships. Bringing up a steamy scene from a book and re-enacting it in the bedroom can be a fun way to keep things interesting for both partners.
