#atozchallenge #blogboost 26 Day Blog Challenge a to z challenge a to z of sex April A to Z Challenge erotica erotica writing competition

I’m a very descriptive and visual person.  I’ve found that written words, expressive words, words supported with an image are enough to get my imagination running.  And that’s why I’ve chosen to write about Erotica as part of my A to Z of Sex blog challenge.   I love to read and discovered Erotica a few years ago.  A few years ago, thanks to my blogger friend Nando, I participated in an Erotica writing competition and actually WON ! I couldn’t believe it myself until I saw my post published on Empire Labs.   In 2011 I wrote a guest post for one of my favourite blogs, ‘MetAnotherFrog’ titled ‘Long Distance Lust’ and that was my second attempt at writing erotica. 

 

The world of Erotica is just something else.  Erotica does tend to appeal more to women and is often written by women for women; even though there are of course both male and female readers and writers.   The writing is so descriptive, it’s almost as if the writer is including you as part of the experience and writing just for you.  The words combine their fictional world with your real world; teasing your mind and body – those perfectly selected words and phrases chosen just to arouse you.

 

If you haven’t ever read any erotica then I recommend you head over to Literotica and read whatever catches your fancy.   You can find stories that fit into many categories and many themes. You’ll find stories of love and passion,  domination and submission, role playing,  supernatural erotica and much more.  Erotica ranges from mild to wild from vanilla sex to BDSM and much more.  You can even find entire sections dedicated to anal sex, paranormal erotica, and sci-fi erotica! There’s something for everyone and it is so much more than just porn.  I’m sure majority of the women would agree with me on this.  [Seriously porn doesn’t really appeal to women]

 

Incorporate some erotica into your love life and see what kind of difference it makes !  And if you’re too shy to do that – why not work up your sexual appetite by having a read of some very saucy tales and act them out in the bedroom.  Your partner will be excited by your new found enthusiasm =P

 

What are your thoughts about Erotica ? Have you read any erotica ? Do you enjoy any particular genre of erotica ? Have you ever thought about writing any erotica ?

 

Diva’s Tips

• Send your partner a saucy email or text message; you’d be surprised at how they react to it
• Erotica doesn’t mean you have to write a short story or a series of stories .. it’s about being able to sexually express yourself in as little or as many words as you want
• Read some erotica – it’ll help you discover your own personal quirks and fantasies

I can’t help but crack up laughing whilst writing this post … It’s just too funny ! Maybe not to you right now – but once I’m done and you actually read the reference posts – you’d appreciate it :)

Background to Fill You In

A week or so prior to Valentines, I got totally inspired to write a few posts all thanks to Nandoism’s Valentines Erotica Submission post .. If I say so myself, damn I was on a roll and how ! I then went on to work up the nerve to take part in the content held by Empire Labs; only to realize I belonged to the wrong country.  Around this time I started focusing on the calling of my blogger voice; and eventually got to submitting a small piece of erotica to the competition.

Then on 15th February I came to know that I had WON the Nandoism and Empire Labs competition !!!  and that I’d be receiving a big box of goodies from the lovely peeps over at Empire Labs … but since they’re going to be shipping to India … and technically ‘toys’ aren’t really allowed … I would be receiving a box of sample molding kits hahahha

So anyway … I’ve been in touch with the lovely Becky from Empire Labs and she’s been checking in on whether or not I’ve received my parcel as yet.  Between the jinxes I’ve received from my Twitter friends Berges M and Rajiv Dingra; I’ve been quite doubtful whether or not I’d EVER receive my parcel ! .. Then it finally happened … I got a post card from the post office informing me that my parcel was with the CUSTOMS division of the Foreign Post Office and that I should make my way over and collect it.

Off I went earlier today and believe you me when I tell you that this is NOT an easy place to find ! After eventually finding the damn office, I was directed to 3 different people only to have the last person (who was a conservative old man – and I mean grandpa old) – keep hinting that I might potentially be receiving ‘illegal’ items since I didn’t 'quite know the content of the parcel (of course I did  but I’m not about to break it down to a grandpa that I’m receiving a box of sex toys!)

(this pic is the closest I can get to describe the old man at the post office .. minus the turban .. he was even wagging his finger at me when telling me off)

I now have to go back tomorrow and go and ‘open’ this parcel in front of him as it turns out he’s the ‘examiner’ … hmmm … now what ?? I went over to the head of the building and gave him a sob story telling him how I didn’t like grandpa telling me off about my parcel and how it was really inconvenient for me to keep coming to the post office .. I mean after all .. I have a job !! !can’t just leave in the middle of the day to sit at the post office :P  

My sister and I were cracking up over this because it’s going to be highly embarrassing if I DO have to open this box up !!! I don’t quite know WHAT the customs office is going to say to me !  My sis reckons I should take a letter / email from Empire Labs and show it to the customs for proof; and then attempt to video the entire episode on my camera whilst I’m there for you to get the REAL FEEL of my experience.

Hmmm .. might just have to try that out !  Guess you’ll just have to wait and see what happens with the parcel !  Wish me luck people !
