Many people might think because I call my work “Literary Erotica” that I think porn is bad, or inferior.
There is nothing wrong with porn. I myself read stories posted on web sites and news groups all the time. And when I first got board band Internet access I subscribed to a couple of Internet porn sites. I did what most people(Men) seem to do, which is to subscribe for the 30 or 60 days no recurring billing option and download as much as you can before your subscription runs out. Then ,after a couple of weeks, you find 100Gb of your 120Gb disk drive is consumed by pornographic photos and video files and you when you download a new file you start to think “haven’t I seen this one before”, you begin to question the wisdom of this strategy.
You begin to realise the meaning of “quality over quantity”.
There is a great benefit of the written word, you can store hours and hours and hours of reading in the same space as 30 mins of video. And when the writer’s imagination, unfettered by the limitations of low budget porn shoots, resonates with the readers imagination you will always get the highest quality of porn possible.
