Seducing the Reader - Writing Erotica

Writing erotic is not just about writing about sex. It is a study of writing a seductive scene which sets the reader on fire.

Just like in real life sex is not always sexy and what some people think is funny isn't.

So what can you do to make a scene light up with sexual tension and tease the reader into creating a visual scene of love.


First - use the reader's senses to light up the scene.

The vanilla candles sat on the side of the tub. The sensual scent flowed heavily through the misty air. Sarah rubbed her hands over her naked stomach and splashed warm over her full breasts.

Uses as many as you can to draw a detail picture in a readers mind. By engaging the senses, the reader can not only draw the picture in their head but can smell the candles, hear the music, and experience the scene in their mind.

Next create and emotional response through visions of the character or sensual dialogue.

Sarah stared at the man standing beside the tub. A quiver of desire ran through as she watched his gaze run down her exposed body. He wanted her she knew that but could he handle the other dark aspects of her life. Her desire to dominate her lovers and make them beg.

Like a mystery give readers clue as to what the story involves. Hint at what each character wants, the problems they have to overcome, where they differ and what can bring them together.

Every well written story creates a bond between the reader and the hero or heroine.

Use these skills and create a story that your readers will love.

Best of Luck,

Anita
