Learn How To Supercharge Your Sex Life By Reading Erotica

Picture sitting in a warm bath, lighting a couple candles, pouring yourself a glass of wine, and opening up a sexy page turner. While reading, the water and the words warm your body, getting your blood flowing as one character ravishes the other. It almost feels forbidden in a way as you blush, holding the book or your tablet in one hand as your other finds its way down south. It’s go time.

Damn, that’s hot!

As a woman who has enjoyed both reading and writing erotica, I can attest firsthand to just how exciting it is to lay back and allow the fantasy to fill your mind. Women especially can benefit from reading erotica because we are very psychological when it comes to sex. The visual of our partner grabbing us passionately and working like a machine to pleasure us is easily generated in our minds.

Yet in addition to its enjoyable aspects, erotica can actually foster sexual creativity because it forces its reader to be patient, discovering what is to come word after word rather than spoon feeding it to them right away like porn. This patience builds suspense in the same way edging yourself during masturbation does.

So how can reading erotica can help your sex life? Below, I will dig deeper into the psychological connection between reading erotica and improvements in your intimacy.

Arousing Thoughts

When we read erotica, we must fantasize about what is happening in the book or short story, as it is merely words. We imagine our ideal man or woman and impart those fantasies into a real-life context. Women are more apt to place their love interest into the erotic story they are reading, whereas men more traditionally become aroused solely at the thought of the sexy scene playing out in the book.

Either way, what this does for both men and women is mind arousal. Reading erotica regularly maintains our arousal, and when we are aroused, we want sex. Essentially, reading erotica is priming you for some pleasure! Whether you are coupled up or single, erotica will get your senses tingling in all the right areas.

Creative Ideas

Authors of erotica are highly skilled at heeding the age-old creative writing rule: “don’t just tell us, show us.” Authoring unique, racy, romantic, or downright dirty scenarios viscerally will provide wonderful erotic inspiration for real-life sexual situations.

The thoroughness of a well-written erotic novel or short story is penned by someone who has either experienced what they are writing and wants you to feel it, or is writing from their own desires, imploring you to try it. Therefore, what the sexy carpenter is doing to the lonely housewife may prompt you to have your man or woman try it on you in your own bedroom!

Reading Together As Foreplay

If you think that erotica is only a solo activity, think again! Reading erotica together gets the sexy imagination going. Much like erotic foreplay, which in many ways is far more tantalizing than squeezing her breasts or giving him mindblowing oral sex. Hearing your lover read tales of passion out loud can ignite a ferociously aroused beast within.

Think it would be too awkward? Let’s do an “erotica test” on you! Imagine this: You and your lover are in bed, and your partner is reading an erotica novel. They come upon a particularly saucy part, deciding to read it to you aloud, with obvious enthusiasm. The excerpt is, “He takes her and throws her to the bed, eagerly spreading her legs as he places kisses up and down her inner thighs, gently making his way up...” Tell me that doesn’t get you horny!

Sexy Variation

When we are in a relationship, sex can sometimes become routine, especially in our busy lives. You know the situation: “we only have so much time before we have to make dinner” or “I’ve got to get up early, so let’s make this a quickie!”

The same start, the same moves, the same result and even the same amount of time! Mixing in reading erotica will often generate different ideas for sexual situations, ways to begin a sexual situation, or even new positions facilitated by new locations to try sex in around your home. Many consider shower sex; however, perhaps some haven’t considered the kitchen table! Variation is important in sex, so think of erotica as your “How To” guide to boundless adventure.

Intensify Masturbation

Finally, if you are currently flying solo, reading erotica and allowing yourself to have to visualize the scenario from your book can bring a whole new level of intensity to your self-gratification!

Traditionally, women use erotica for solo play as some do not enjoy porn. Or, as mentioned before, they are more imaginative and reach arousal much easier when envisioning their own players. Erotica is a great substitute for porn to arouse your mind and body while your novel describes, oftentimes very thoroughly, sexual situations.
