FAQs

Erotica focuses on sexual themes and storytelling, all written to arouse the reader. Erotic literature focuses on the sexual relationship between the characters as opposed to the actual romance. In erotic books, the bulk of the content contains sexual scenes between the characters, while the plot or character development outside of their sexual relationship is limited. Additionally, erotic novels may or may not have a happily ever after, whereas that's always guaranteed in romance or fantasy romance books.

Yes. There is a difference between erotica and erotic romance. Erotica focuses primarily on sexual content and personal journeys of the characters. In comparison, erotic romance includes similar elements but emphasizes the development of a romantic relationship like traditional romance books, which ultimately leads to more than one happy ending.

Some common subgenres within the erotica category are:

  • BDSM: This subgenre brings in bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism with a masochistic cherry on top.
  • Historical erotica: Historical erotica takes the reader back in time. This can be anything from Regency erotica or Highlander-themed stories.
  • LGBTQ+ erotica: LGBTQ+ erotica features queer couples and relationship dynamics.
  • Paranormal erotica: Incorporates fantasy and supernatural elements, like ghosts, monsters, and more.
  • Erotic Horror: This subgenre blends erotica elements with horror. This isn't for everyone, but horror lovers who like their books steamy will appreciate it.
