A fellow writer? Good to meet you.

And, please, don’t. Keep writing what you enjoy. It makes things easier because you’re in a field where you are at ease. You are your first reader; of you don’t like it, it is meaningless.

On to your question.

Anything can be erotic if well written. I’m not into BDSM and yet the Story of O managed to make me finish the book in one sitting. Vulgarity and banal words are always a complete turn off. Being graphical is good, being to graphical veers into porn

Particular themes/motifs/fetishes I enjoy reading and writing, first and foremost, is plain romance. Just two people falling in love or starting from plain old lust and carrying things forward from there. But I need story, plot, background; sex for sex is a let down.

I also prefer strong minded, independent, female characters and stoic or a bit aloof male characters.

Fetishes per se, I enjoy outdoors sex, body worshipping (can go both ways), tit jobs, oral and masturbation (hand and foot). Non D/s chastity, for both genders. Pegging. Sex in the shower, by the pool or at the beach, either by the sea or a river or lake. And weirdly enough, writing on the skin. Not tattooes; writing with a brush or a pen.

And I stop here.
