How mandatory is a decent plot to you when writing erotica?...

Spellcheck

I think they're checking something other than the spelling when they re-read it.

I agree, however:

Wood you please quite braking the dishes. <--- Just passed spellcheck.

...or is direct, to-the-point, arousingly constructed detail more important to you much of the time?

Personally when I search for erotica, I'm looking for something to get myself off to (surprise surprise), and often when I find myself in this mood, any boring pre-erotic plot annoys me - I want to get straight to the juicy bits; not necessarily hard sex, but simply sexually arousing situations that you know may lead on to something more.

I suppose I'm curious as to how many others are like this? Sorry it's a slightly vague question.

It depends on what time it is.

Youre lots more picky at 9 oclock than at 2 oclock.

The only thing I can say, is the writers who can drop their inhibitions as they pick up the pen, are the ones that keep me glued. (i dont mean sexual inhibitions either) You can tell the authors who just pound out stories, and the ones who are letting you into their world.

Plot and character creation have less importance to me than the tone and the voice. Perhaps its the most overlooked part of any story. Plot and character can be fixed, but the voice is what carries it.

The plot of the shorts is the sex itself. Begginning, peak and climax...if there is no plot its a teaser. Lol

I want to explore the characters, but I wonder if sometimes I go overboard. I want people to have some sort of emotion about the characters. I'm not concerned if they like or hate them, but i do want an emotion. I tend to jump into the sexual part of the story first and then develop the characters over time. I might change my approach with the next story.

A good erotic story has "clues" written from time to time. Like this.

I woke up to find he was missing, but looking on the nightstand I saw our red blindfold.

In the past we agreed to leave "clues" for our needs sometimes. The red blindfold was his way of telling me that he wanted me to put on a favorite bra and panty set for him when he came home. Plus he wanted to GIVE me oral until I came on his tongue for a good starter this evening. I immediately felt warm.


The story goes from there describing her increasing desire until she had to masturbate thinking of the approaching evening. Once into the "mood" the need is to use some hot language, "lick me now baby", some sights and sounds too.
