Supposedly it is said that men are more interested in visual pornography while women want to read erotica. Good words can be worth a thousand pictures, communicating not just the sights of sex but all the other six senses too — the wet sounds of cock in cunt or event cunt grinding against cunt, the smells of it, the emotions too.

There are many reasons to write word porn or erotica as it is most commonly known. One might just want to put ones fantasies on the page because it can enhance them for one’s own self-pleasures and masturbation. But more likely one wants to share them — written erotica can be perfect for sharing with a lover. Perhaps one has begun to correspond with a potential mate from an adult dating service and now that serious flirting has begun one wants to woo with a shared fantasy. One may even have dreams of sharing the story or fantasy on the Internet in an erotic story website or selling it to an adult magazine.

The first thing one must do is decide on content and tone. Is one going to write a story that is merely suggestive — the kind of thing to make her excited, to get her pussy wet or is cock hard. Maybe one wants to go all the way and be very explicit. It helps to know the audience one is writing for — if one person then know their tastes and fetishes. If one is writing for a website or publication it is good to understand who reads and what they buy. Most will specify whether one can write gay, straight or bi stories. Some fetishes might be okay — for example one magazine might enjoy spanking and light bondage but not be alright with other fetishes like infantalism, foot fetishes, bloodplay, or nonconsent.

Consider the language one might be using too. There are a lot of ways to describe the act of sex which are explicit or merely suggestive. Some words like rod, shaft, treasure box, snatch, titties, and so on just sound silly and probably should be avoided lest one takes a juvenile tone. Other words like vulva or penis can be too clinical sounding and create yawns where one wants to create moans. Other choices have to be up the writer but one should be consistent — don’t be coy one moment then talk about throbbing manmeat the next.

If there ever was a holy grail for sex, the Kama Sutra would be it. The most sought after and referenced book in the history of man details sex in a ritualistic, ever impressive manner that inspires many couples to explore variations in sexual practices among couples. Considered the oldest and one of the most beautiful books of all mankind, the Kama Sutra has led the way for many lovers to ignite, re-ignite or find desire and passion in their love lives.

This ancient Indian text provides a guide for sexual behavior and is considered the standard by many authorities. As the oldest and most well known of sacred texts concerning sexuality, the Kama Sutra’s first transmission was from Nandi

The Kama Sutra governs practices of sexual ritual all the way from courting and making advances to dealing with the duties of the wife once marriage is established. The book’s thirty-six chapters also delve into sexual practices governing coitus, oral sex biting, scratching and moaning by the woman in order to be mated to the male.

An entire ten chapters is devoted to different sexual acts. The book is divided further into seven sections that govern not only the abovementioned but also Occult practices that deal in strengthening a weak sexual power, improving physical appearances, renewing friendship with an old lover and dealing with the duties of being a man. A section on general remarks, philosophy and use of the book starts things off. Conduct of a well-bred man is also covered.

The most widely known translation of the Kama Sutra was privately published in 1883 by author Sir Richard Francis Burton yet the primary work was carried out by archeologist Bhagvanlal Indraji. Numerous other translations have appeared since then with a varying degree of tones, some literary, others with a tongue in cheek translation. In the 90′s, Anne Hooper published an illustrated version of the book which reinterpreted the positions aimed at the modern lover. Illustrations depicted fellatio and cunnilingus along with proper technique for stimulation.

An all around guide, the Kama Sutra remains one of the greatest classics of all time in dealing with the game of love.
