Emma's Fav Erotic Stories

I thought I would play around with my new toy - sometimes I am such a geek!

Blogspot has let me link to Amazon and now I can write about, recomend, and link directly to books that I love. I thought I'd start with some old friends.

Emma's Favs

I loaned my copy of Aqua Erotia  to a lover and never got it back which has to indicate something…yes?

Best points - it's waterproof so yes, you can take it in the bath or shower and while away a lovely evening masturbating to the delicious short stories.

As a gift - pair it with candles, bathoils, and a water proof vibrator (Valentien's Day is next month after all) or maybe one of those heavenly sponges to help you get all wet and soapy.

The only down side is that many of the stories are more literary than pornographic - however there is more than enough good sex to cause you to squrim.

The Story of O by Pauline Reage is always a favorite.

But then this story has been on my mind for awhile. I'm currently working on a story about an artist's model and painter who are commissioned to do a series of paintings based on the novel.

Not as graphic as one would expect given its history - but as a period piece concerning BDSM in the early part of the 20th Century - it is still an amazing read and should be in the collection of anyone who considers themselves a coinsure of literary erotica.

Delta of Venus was my very first book of erotica.

I was young, and my lover was much older than me. One day while I was staying at his house and he was away I searched the bookshelves for a book to keep me company - I found this and it changed my life.

I had no idea that sex could be so poetic, brutal, prolonged, and brief.

Nin altered the way we looked at sex, providing a feminine view point that is missing from much erotic literature that came before her. The language is blunt and to the point even as it soars singing of experience for experience sake.

Susie Bright always brings the best together in her "Best American Erotica" series - however the 10th Anniversary Edition has some of my favorites.

Including – “The Erotic Adventures of Jim and Louella Parsons by Bertice Berry, an unexpected story of the impact conversation can have on your sex life and Lisa Wolfe’s “How to Make a Cake” a delightful fantasia combining sex and cooking.

It also has a selection of some of the best of the last ten years including – My Professor by Ivy Topiary, The Hit by Steven Saylor, writing as Aaron Travis, and my personal favorite “She Gets Her Ass Fucked Good” by Rose White and Eric Albert.

I’m always meaning to pick up more of these – the 15th Anniversary edition came out in 2008. I’m sure it is delicious.

Licks!

Good Morning!

It is a rainy gray day in my lovely little city. The kind of day that makes me want to curl up with my lover in front of the fireplace.

Today I have a fireplace, but no lover.

So…

I love books. I love words. I love the images that bloom in my head when I read.

The internet is lovely – but I still prefer the feel of a book in my hands, the dusty smell that rises as I turn the pages, the feel of the paper under my fingertips.

Then there are the words.

This morning when I woke I reached for the book I was reading last night – an old friend. In fact – it was the first erotica I’d ever read. Delta of Venus by Anais Nin. I have worn out my copy with reading and rereading.

Nin’s lyrical descriptions of sex fed my imagination. Passages like:

“His lips followed his hands; his nose, too, buried in the odors of her body, seeking oblivion, seeking the drug that emanated from her body.”

“His mouth grew more and more avid, as if it had become a sex organ in itself, capable of so enjoying her that if he continued to fondle her flesh with his tongue he would reach some absolutely unknown pleasure.”

Hmmmm….

I think that I shall spend the day reading of Paris and sex, before the fireplace, sipping coffee and then later wine. Between stories I will daydream of my lover’s hands on me – of the times when we would lie together in bed and I would read my stories to him.

At times we’d drown in words, he and I. Lyrical, evocative, erotic words wrapped around us heightening sensations titillating our minds.

If any of the daydreams strike my fancy – I’ll write them down.

Licks!
