As someone who’s generally non-verbal in bed, I can say that I really appreciate you putting out your tips on how to keep from making a fool of yourself the first time you try it.

Your writing style is wonderful – informative and sexy!

If you don’t mind, I’d like to add you to my blogroll. I’d love to see what else shows up here.

If you go to a comedy you are going for a different emotional experience than if you go to a horror movie. You go to a romance movie to feel that “in love” feeling. You go to an action adventure to feel excited and pumped up.

He didn’t talk about erotica or porn, but based on that construct, erotica and porn are just two other genres, and as such, are designed to create emotiona responses. The response, of course, is to feel aroused.

I say all this because a lot of the criticism of porn is that it’s purpose is just to turn you on. But that doesn’t make it any different from other works of fiction. It’s only different in the kind of emotion it is going for, not that it is simply trying to create a specific emotional response.

So from that point of view, erotica and porn are both trying to arouse the reader. They are just doing it in different ways.
