Why do I write Erotica?

People assume I write erotica because I have too much time and not enough boundaries. And, I am horny, often. But that's not the whole story. I write erotica because it’s the only other place where I get to say everything I want, without flinching.
It’s where desire speaks, and women don’t whisper, and no one apologises after the climax.

But let me tell you something else:
It didn’t start with confidence. It began with curiosity. With shame. With the quiet gasp I let out when I wrote my first scene and realised that I had just turned myself on.

I Write Because Power Is Personal

Power, for me, has never looked like barking orders or cold dominatrix clichés.
It looks like patience. Timing. Knowing when to touch, and when to let someone ache for it.

Writing erotica gave me the audacity to say things I didn’t even know I was allowed to want.
To speak desire without shame.
To write a woman who doesn't just ask for more, but takes it. Slowly. Sweetly. Or not so sweetly at all.

It taught me that dominance isn’t about force.
It’s about presence. Intention. Knowing exactly where to press and when to pull back.
(And yes, sometimes tying their wrists just for fun.)

I Write Because Readers Whisper Back

People slide into my DMs like it’s a confessional.

“I’ve never told anyone this…”
“I read your story and… I had to wake up my partner.”
“I didn’t know I was allowed to feel this way.”

They don’t thank me for the sex scenes.
They thank me for the permission.

And every time that happens, I’m reminded: this isn’t just fantasy.
 

I Write Because the Details Matter

Forget “his manhood” and “her aching core.”
I want the chipped nail polish. The barely audible whimper. The teeth marks left on inner thighs that bloom into bruises by breakfast.

I write what happens when breath stutters against skin, when someone says, “Don’t stop,” and actually means it with their whole damn spine.

Real erotica lives in those details.
Not just the what, but the why, the how long, the don’t look at me like that unless you mean it.

I Write for the Fantasy You Don’t Admit

Everyone has one.

The librarian who locks the door behind her.
The partner who surprises you with your reflection in the mirror.
The scene that starts with a power play and ends with someone crying, because it was that intimate.

I don’t just write sex. I write the unravelling.
The kind that makes you sit in silence for a minute afterwards, questioning your life choices and possibly ordering new sheets.

And Yes, Sometimes I Surprise Myself

There was a story I wrote last year. It was just a short, slow-burn scene involving rain, tension, and hands that hovered more than they touched.

I posted it without thinking much.

The next morning, someone replied:

“I read this three times. I thought it was about sex. But it felt like mourning. I didn’t know those two could live in the same breath. Thanks”

That’s when I realised: Erotica isn’t just about pleasure.
It’s about memory. Loss. Power. Hunger.
Sometimes, it’s about longing so heavy it tastes like grief.

So Why Do I Really Write Erotica?

Because I want to take you somewhere your browser history won’t admit you’ve been.
Because I like the sound of knees hitting the floor, metaphorically. But sometimes literally.
Because this is how I speak my truth:
one flushed sentence, one shaky inhale, one pause between words where everything trembles.

And because you’re still reading and already imagining the next line.
