What do you look for in erotic stories?

[Playfulsub]

I've had some success at jarring the reader using 2nd person... as if I'm talking directly to you.

"He bound you to the sawhorse and selected the whip he would use on you first."

Or 1st person talking about 2nd person instead of 3rd person.

The difference between:

"I stroked her silky-soft thigh." and "I stroked your silky-soft thigh."

I agree, Oz. Using 1st to 2nd works well for erotica!
