Reading racy writing: Connect with your partner and explore your fantasies with erotica


Reading racy writing: Connect with your partner and explore your fantasies with erotica
By Laura Roberts

Reading to your partner is a great way to connect, particularly if you share similar interests. Many couples like to read each other bits and pieces from the newspaper or their favorite magazines, but have you ever thought about connecting this way in the bedroom?

Sexual therapists often suggest that partners reconnect physically through massage and gentle touching. But why neglect your body’s largest erogenous zone? The brain is truly at the root of our connection to our lovers, yet it’s frequently left out of the equation. Instead of ignoring your mind and its important role in your love life, why not tantalize it with a bit of naughty literature?

Erotica is a great way to engage both your mind and your body, and these days there’s plenty to choose from, thanks to Fifty Shades of Gray. Whether you’re interested in gentle romance or much more explicit works, there’s something for everyone.

You may be wondering what the difference is between erotica and pornography, particularly if you’ve never sought either out before. Don’t worry: while erotica is meant to tempt and tease the reader, it is rarely as raunchy as full-on porn. Even the most detailed erotic story aims to seduce the reader, rather than simply describing sexual acts in lewd detail. Better still, as there’s lots left to the imagination, reading these kinds of stories frequently creates a craving for your own partner’s special touch.

Why read erotica? Because it’s stimulating!

To best connect with your partner, first seek out an erotic story that appeals to you. It could be about a fantasy you’ve always had, or something that makes you feel sensual and aroused. You can find lots of free samples online at woman-friendly sites like Clean Sheets, The Erotic Woman and Literotica. Pick a piece that turns you on, and then bring it to bed with you for an erotic reading session.

If you’re worried about how you’ll sound reading your dirty story aloud, you can practice ahead of time. Remember that your reading doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to engage your audience. Make eye contact with your partner, especially during the parts you find most exciting, and feel free to act out the scene if it feels right. You can always abandon your reading if it puts you and your partner in the mood for love.

Reading sexy stories is a great way to explore your fantasies, connect with your partner, and open up the lines of communication for further discussions about sex and love. So why not try it tonight?
