Lawrence KA, Herold ES (1988) Women’s attitudes toward and experience with sexually explicit materials. J Sex Res 24(1):161–169 Further, a recent study that presents a screening tool for the assessment of individual differences in responsiveness to art (Aesthetic Responsiveness Assessment (AReA), Schlotz et al., 2020) shows that higher than average levels of the openness trait are distinctly predictive of higher “aesthetic responsiveness.” In contrast, the traits on which the participants of our study scored particularly high (i.e., conscientiousness, agreeableness, see below) are far less associated with aesthetic responsiveness. This suggests that reading motivation and reading rewards underlying the preference for contemporary erotic novels have less to do with the trait of genuinely aesthetic responsiveness, which is predictive of intense art experiences of a more classical and less schematic type. t• Be creative.

Sexologists admit that it’s really difficult to exactly define erotic desire. However, it’s a dimension that we’ve all experienced on more than one occasion. Therefore, it’s easier to specify it through its characteristics. For example: Radway JA (1984/2009) Reading the romance: women, patriarchy, and popular literature. University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill Involuntary. You can’t choose what or how much you desire something or someone. Indeed, if you could, it’s likely that you’d change it in some way. Impulse. It defines the effect that arises from the activation of the bio-physiological bases. It’s the excitement that another individual causes you to feel.EL James’s Fifty Shades of Grey was mentioned most frequently as a typical erotic novel. This preeminence is in line with the view that James’s story about the unexperienced Ana and her rich lover Christian Grey with his dark past and desires can be considered a prototype of the contemporary erotic novel. This prototype might not only have been an inspirational source for other authors, but has also contributed to the recent social acceptance of erotic fiction (Kraxenberger, 2019b). In addition to the broad cultural interest, the very high number of books read per month indicated by our participants is remarkable. This high consumption rate may have its cause in the texts themselves: like other popular literature, such as schematic women’s novels or crime thrillers, or many TV series, Fifty Shades of Grey and many of its literary descendants are inherently characterized by the feature of seriality (Kraxenberger, 2019a). In general, seriality appears to support a repetition of previous self-rewarding experiences, and hence the consumption of entire series of novels rather than individual books. This might also help to explain the unusually high number of participants who describe themselves as high-frequent readers. The genres you’ll find here include BDSM, public sex, sensual blowjobs, edging, and a whole lot more. Explore the dark side of your deepest desires! 15.

The finding that readers of erotic novels are mostly women (Bollmann, 2013; Hogan, 1994; Illouz, 2013, Kraxenberger, 2019a) who usually live in committed (heterosexual) relationships confirms earlier research (e.g., Radway, 1984/ 2009). In line with uses-and-gratifications theory (e.g. Katz et al., 1974), Illouz ( 2013) has argued on theoretical grounds that heterosexual women in stable relationships read erotic novels about heterosexual couples to get advice and inspiration on how to live up to the expectations which our society tends to harbour regarding never-ending romantic love and sexual desire in committed relationships (Illouz, 2013). However, this observation may not go far enough. For one, it disregards the phenomenon that heterosexual women are also a standard audience for same-sex erotic novels featuring only male protagonists (e.g., Busse and Lothian, 2017; Foster, 2015). Moreover, although our empirical analysis confirms such a guidance component, two other motivational components turned out to be significantly more prominent. Specifically, aspects related to distraction are the most important motivation for our participants to read erotic novels (see below). This finding is also in line with previous research that has emphasized a temporary escape from everyday life as an important reading motivation (Coles and Shamp, 1984; Radway, 1984/ 2009). Perhaps even more important for a ‘progressive’ interpretation by their female readers, the novels often portray a pseudo-superiority of the female characters in terms of emotional stability, which they use to mould their male counterparts from merely sexual into affectively intelligent partners (while still being submissive to unyielding patriarchic structures). This would suggest that not much has changed since Radway’s ( 1984) study, which observed that compliance with patriarchic structures was often simultaneously perceived as a way of overcoming or escaping them (see also Modleski, 1982/ 2008).

Bright Desire – Best Diverse Porn For Female Viewers In terms of more recent research, a survey study by Deller and Smith ( 2013) has focused exclusively on readers of Fifty Shades of Grey. The study is limited by a fairly small data set ( N = 83); moreover, analyses do not go beyond percentage descriptions and anecdotal comments from individual participants. Still, the study provides a broader picture of reading motivations, ranging from erotic pleasure and sexual arousal to taking pleasure in the online exchange with other readers of Fifty Shades of Grey. The majority of our participant sample (80%) described themselves as high-frequent readers. Seventy percent of the participants indicated that they are fans of a particular book series, volume or author. On average, participants reported that they read 4.9 novels per month ( SD = 3.40; min = 0; max = 11).

If you’re looking for pleasure with a nice helping of imagination, then Literotica’s stories of sex-positive wish fulfillment and forbidden delights will really get you going. The great majority of the participants (85%) reportedly exchange views about their reading of erotic novels with others. Sixty-five percent do so with their friends, 34% share their experience with other fans or interested readers, 27% of participants with their partner, and 6% with other people, such as family members. Moreover, readers who exchange views about reading erotic novels with others preferably do so in direct personal communication ( M = 3.5, SD = 1.1) and via social media platforms ( M = 2.79; SD = 1.46). Blogs and internet fora were used less frequently for this purpose ( M Blogs = 1.96; SD Blogs = 1.33; M Fora = 1.86; SD Fora = 1.23). Conceptualizations of erotic novels Important features of erotic novelsOf the 427 participants, 85% identified as heterosexual, 2% as homosexual, and 9% as bisexual; 5% did not report their sexual orientation. Thirty-nine percent of our participants were married, and 28% were in a committed relationship, but unmarried. Twenty-six percent were single, and 4% stated that “it’s complicated.” Three percent did not disclose their relationship status at all. Reading habits and exchanges among readers Inconsistent. Have you ever desired someone you don’t even like? That’s one of the inconsistencies of desire. This can spill over into many areas of your life. You can desire people with different ideas, religions, lifestyles, and even those who are totally incompatible with you. As mentioned before, the results of our study are biased by our sampling method that primarily aimed at surveying avid readers of erotic novels online and resulted in an almost exclusively female sample of participants with a preference for contemporary bestselling novels that are discussed on social media. Findings obtained for this sample cannot be generalized to a larger public and are limited with regard to the comparisons with other data samples. Moreover, the data presented here were not collected with the purpose of documenting in a representative study for the entirety of the German audience the attitude towards and the experiences with erotic novels. Collecting data from readers that are not familiar with or even dislike erotic novels would have made little sense when aiming at a better understanding of erotic novels and their specific readership (cf. Sarkhosh and Menninghaus, 2016). It should also be noted that due to the strong focus of our participants on novels of the Fifty Shades of Grey type, the results of our study ultimately also leave open whether or not we can expect similar reader and reward profiles for readers of other variants of erotic novels. Moreover, we cannot rule out that there is an avid readership of erotic novels that simply is not responsive to calls for online surveys, and that precisely these readers may have named different, possibly more ‘literary’, titles than our participants did. Mooradian TA, Davis M, Matzler K (2011) Dispositional empathy and the hierarchical structure of personality. Am J Psychol 124(1):99–109 Simply speaking, the female POV in porn isn’t just about getting from point A (the sexual act) to point B (orgasming or its equivalent); it’s more about empowerment, body positivity, inclusion, and fantasy fulfillment.

For me, couples' erotica is about the beauty of fantasy and engaging in people’s sexual fantasies for their own personal pleasure. My desire has been to create and produce sensual erotica for women. Elegant, tasteful and arousing films together with erotic stories and an elegant erotic photography gallery that women and couples would find acceptable and pleasurable. An online erotic magazine featuring stimulating articles, sexy features and arousing stories of an engaging sexual nature. I wanted to show much more focus on the pleasure of passion and hot-blooded sex. The desire for sensual female arousal, with a balanced and more realistic approach to sexual gratification with more equal pleasure. I wanted to create porn for women that provided real, meaningful and beautiful relatable sex. When desire is not at the forefront, I would encourage you be open to the idea and willing to receive and share pleasure. Desire is not always necessary to start or engage in a sexual encounter; being open and positive to having an experience can create desire and arousal. Knowing you can stop at any time can help with being more open more often. Again, taking the focus off the end result and putting the emphasize on being close, intimate, playful and open to the idea of being sexual. Unlike mainstream paid porn , whose goal is to make you climax as fast as possible, female porn—as we said— focuses more on fantasy, wish fulfillment, and power dynamics. All analyses were conducted in SPSS (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 22.0, IBM Corp., 2013).Nineteen percent of our participants held a university degree, 33% had obtained a higher education entrance qualification, and 37% a general certificate of secondary education. Nine percent of participants reported the completion of mandatory basic secondary schooling as their highest level of education. Two participants (0.5%) went to special-needs schools, and another 3% did not disclose their level of education. Thus, in total, 52% of our participants had obtained a university degree or a higher education entrance qualification. When considering the data provided by the Federal Statistical Office Footnote 6 for comparison, the data from our participants show an education level slightly above the average level for the German population (university degree: 17%; higher education entrance qualification: 32%; in total: 48%).
