Which well-known books/tales are deserving of an erotic makeover?

[Abbafan]

It IS strange. Especially when you consider that there are plenty of instances of children's fairy tale-type stories being lampooned and parodied with an adult "take" in other genres - stage and screen come to mind.

The Christmas panto tradition here in the UK is often put on as delivering two takes in the same performance, the ostensible one for the kiddies and a bawdier layer below the surface for their accompanying parents.

I'd guess the esteemed owners here are taking the line that overkill is preferable to underkill.

I think they are just ultra cautious about about allowing anything that even seems like it might be trying to involve underage people. Which is understandable.

it’s tough since most books I’d want to see get more erotic already have erotic elements, it just cuts away or isn’t too descriptive

Classic sci-fi, as previous mentioned, has lots of opportunities: “the man who folded himself literally discusses a guy fucking lots of time clones of himself (and then fucking a female time clone of himself (who normally fucks female time clones of herself)but it never gets too descriptive.

Asimov made the follow up Foundation trilogy horny…but the follow up trilogy kinda sucks ass.

Stranger in a strange Land is definitely horny.

Black Tongue Thief (great book by the way) definitely has lots of opportunities for sex (and bi and gay relationships are accepted in the setting)

One setting I wouldn’t mind seeing some erotic stories set in would be discworld, especially Angua and Carrot, Moist and Adorable, and anything involving Susan

Moby Dick. Ahab doesn't seek to kill the whale, but to fuck the whale.

And it wasn't his leg that was lost to the whale. At least not the ones touching the ground.

On Moby Dick, a good chunk of it is Ishmael going on about how he loves cuddling up with queeqeg be an easy transtion to some man on man action

I could imagine HG Wells' time traveler getting up to some activities over and above pure adventure.

Little Women ends up with one guy getting all four sisters as his harem wives. They live happily ever after.

Little Women certainly lends itself to random fucking in the front room. Maybe that's how the gentlemen callers decide which is the one they want to marry. Try before you buy. Lots of heaving bosoms, lifting of copious petticoats, unbuttoning of flies, straining of wickerwork, and uncommonly exposed body parts being stretched, tugged, sucked and cum upon.

It all sounds good!

I would suggest applying a good bit of incest to the 'classical classics' but I do believe Sophocles beat me to it by a country mile...

You have to be careful where you stick your erotica, concerning fairy tales or classic works of literature.

I had an idea of doing a non-con Pornographic version of Ella Enchanted. I was roasted for the post, saying that since it's based on Cinderella, it wouldn't work because the character isn't 18 in the book, even though in the movie I saw, she's 18 and attending college. No surprise, I decided not to make the story.

If there isn't a version of your story where the characters are 18 in their source material, it's likely not to get published here.

Spoiler: he never comes.

In the porn version with Seth Gamble as Prince Charming, Cinderella is certainly 18.

Pick the ones where it's certain there's no proof of age. That's not why it wouldn't work, doing an Ella Enchanted fanfic has nothing to do with Cinderella. Ah dunno why it wouldn't work, but it has nothing to do with the source materials source material.

 

[MythMaker]

Has anybody considered the Cthulhu Mythos?

Although for a more genuine answer, Dracula and Carmilla are probably rife for an erotic expansion. The two stories already has plenty sexual undertones, so I feel it could be adapted quite easily. I was inspired by both when writing a vampire-centric chapter in one of my stories as well, though more of a rip-off tribute than a straight (pun not intended) adaptation.

Similarly, I did have another concept in mind inspired by Frankenstein for a potential future story.

Other than that, the only other thing that comes to mind are the original Conan the Cimmerian stories, which are already very horny, although with nothing explicit going on in them, but they are there (and public domain) for anybody who wants the challenge of a rewrite.

 

[Rob_Royale]

There is a recent book called A Gentleman in Moscow. This man is sentenced to spend his life confined to the hotel in which he been living. There's a film coming out soon as well.

What if this was a particularly handsome young man who has many sexual adventures in this hotel. The wives of many of the aristocracy visit often while their husbands are busy. Wild parties, masked balls, the man finds captivity much more agreeable than he ever imagined.

.....

Yes, yet it barely holds a candle to Time Enough for Love. Lazarus Long goes back in time and has sex with his own mother.

 

[LupusDei]

Waiting for Godot

Damn yes. They could fuck out of boredom. Or alternatively, a newly introduced character, a prostitute, comes along and they fuck her, just because. Or rather, they fuck a strange girl who comes along, then discuss at length was she a prostitute or didn't, after the girl had run away saying nothing.

 

[Nick_Tereutes]

I remember someone once saying that the Canterbury Tales were full of raunchy humor, but that most of it was allusions, euphemisms, or puns. Middle English is hardly a pleasure read, but if someone were to turn it to modern English and keep the lights on for all the raunchiness/make sex acts explicit, they might have something special.

 

[ericrodman101]

All the James Bond novels could only be improved by more graphic descriptions of the sex. And the movies for that matter.

 

[gunhilltrain]

Stephen King's Misery. Come on. Even in the real thing, she never did anything?

It's pretty obvious that Paul finds Annie Wilkes to be loathsome - both emotionally and physically. Any fondling of him or even more than that would be a form of torture for him - it's not like he's in any position to refuse. Maybe it could go in Erotic Horror. I'm sure she'd get on top for actual intercourse. "You dirty birdie, you better make me come or . . ." Maybe he'd close his yes and imagine somebody else.

The Tammy'sknockers.

Working on it.

Damn it, don't give me ideas.

Or, at least give me some time to work out the ones I already have.

Has anybody considered the Cthulhu Mythos?

There's a story on this site that re-imagines Ariel and her sisters as lovecraftian monsters. A lighthouse keeper knocks her up, IIRC.

EDIT: here it is.

I would love my own take on Tarzan.

My wife and I are shipwrecked on what we think is a deserted island. We build a proper hut. Find fresh water. And prepare ourselves for what may be a long stay. Soon after we’re settled, we’re visted by a handsome stranger: Tarzan. He obviously never been with a woman before. With each passing day my wife grows sexually attracted to him. Finally it happens. They slip off into the jungle together where Mrs. Screwher teaching him the ways of wild animal sex!

Annie was weirdly priggish too, despite being a murderer. I think she'd probably frown on people who have sex outside of marriage.

I could see the scenario from Misery being used in a BDSM story with some changes to the character. Instead of a killer nurse, make her a smoking hot sex fiend who loves the Misery books.
