    Porn, Erotica, Romance?

    Ok this is my first attempt at a thread. I hope it's in the correct place.

    Ok I just read Teacher Owned, so many people listed it as Favorites in http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/forums/sh...7422#post67422
    the “What’s your favorite” thread.
    I enjoyed it a lot but it didn’t completely satisfy. (This is not a criticism, just a point I’m wondering about.)
    What I’m wondering is the difference between Porn and Erotica? I like more story not just sex. Does that mean what I enjoy is Erotica?
    Is what I write more vanilla http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/stories/a...?authorid=1583

    Maybe I’m off on the definitions even.
    I’ve read 2nn Wow, I felt like I’d been sledge hammered but got incredibly hot.
    Wedding Night by Zebulon
    http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/stories/s...p?storyid=4001
    Has to be my favorite at the moment.
    I enjoy the back story as much as the sex if it’s well written. I can deal with almost anything but Snuff as long as it has a little romance. Could that be the real thing I need in a story to be sated is romance? Hummmm. Maybe romance is even not exactly right but at least the worship of one for another.
    I’ve learned not to expect happy endings but must admit I much prefer them. Even if the happy ending is the victim chained to her/his master/mistress’s bed in complete joyful surrender.
    Any comments?

    Ahhh... great questions and much food for thought here.

    Wikepedia says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography

    In general, "erotica" is used to imply artistic quality, sensuousness, or implied sexuality, whereas "pornography" tends to signify explicit sexual acts.

    There are a number of essays out there on the subject. For me the short version involves the writing style. Are we reading about the senses and emotions of the people being described or is it more, insert stick A into slot B?

    You might enjoy this essay:

    ONE PERSONS PORN IS MY EROTICA by Rose DesRochers

    http://www.freelancewriting.com/arti...rs-071405.html

    About plotting...

    I think that well written PWP story - that's "porn without plot" or "plot, what plot?" can be very erotic.

    Those types of stories have their place just like longer tales.

    ---

    Now about those endings. I've read some wonderfully hot stories in the library then been so disappointed by the ending, that they become a huge turn-off.

    ---

    StillBehindBlueEyes,

    You certainly don't write vanilla.

    The Training of Shauna the Pet is a string of snippets, with a back story and a plot that weaves them together.

    Erotic or porno? That's up to each reader.

    I was nervous about sounding a bit full of myself, but I really am curious about this subject. No one knows I write this stuff in real life. They know I write racy vanilla romances. (Giggle) It's nice to have someone to talk about this subject with.
    I will go peek at the article thank you so much.
    I really do enjoy some PWP, but it leaves me feeling like somethings missing. It's a quick snack instead of a meal. Hummmm, food and sex, interesting.

    Now about those endings. I've read some wonderfully hot stories in the library then been so disappointed by the ending, that they become a huge turn-off.
    I have at least 20, I'm not lying, stories not done. It can be so tempting to just slap an ending on them, but I've resisted because I so agree with your above comment.

    StillBehindBlueEyes,

    Giggle, Thank you.

    SBBE:
    When looking for adjectives to use in my own writing I ran across a website called darkerotica - http://darkerotica.blogspot.com/
    According to them the difference between erotica and romance is that sex has to drive the plot in erotica and not just be thrown in gratuitously, if the sex isn't necessary to tell the story, then it isn't erotica.
    I found this very interesting and useful for myself.
    As for the difference between porn and erotica, I agree with Ruby and think that is a more personal opinion.

    Sex

    Jessminty
    What a cool site. I know I'm going to enjoy it.
    if the sex isn't necessary to tell the story, then it isn't erotica.
    Well I know in the stories I've posted here I had to have the sex. I find it strange that I have such hesitiation about writing sex, but it's getting easier. Smiles.

    Hi, interesting thread. As to sounding like you were full of yourself, no worries about that.

    I know what you mean about having lots of unfinished stories. I have about 5at the moment, but have had more. I tend to get a great idea, type away and then think - oh, how do I end this. I am struggling with one story at the moment. I almost feel like making the ending like a choose you own adventure and then follow up with what people what to read. Mind you, then you would never be able to please everyone.

    I am starting to appreciate more stories with what would be termed romantic elements in them, but still like a more full on tale as well. I even to try to write both types.

    Hope you keep asking great questions and writing great stories.

    Thank you very much Aussiegirl. When I really want to finish a story sometimes I can jump start it by coming back to it and editing. Sometimes that's just enough to rekindle the story. Smiles, other times nothing gets it back going. I like the idea for a choose your own adventure. Smiles.

    Hi again,

    I just read your latest story and wanted to say it was very good. I tried to review it but can't at the moment, so I figured this was just as good. I can remember reading the story you were building on, and loving it too.

    You only have about 5 unfinished stories now? Crap, I feel like a slacker now. I have...well, I have a lot. I don't have enough fingers or toes to count 'em.

    Thank you Aussiegirl. I just loved Zeb's story and asked if I could please write one off his idea.
    H Dean giggle, I know that feeling. I'd need to borrow some fingers to count my unfinished stories.

    That's a gross misuse of fingers.

    Oh yes, I know how much of a slacker you are! It just means you have been working at this for longer. Who knows what might come of those unfinished stories one day?

    I like this new Genre. I bet Jessminty's and my stories would fit in that category.
