Many critics abhor the erotic novel and say that it is in decline and that it is a novel of a minor genre. However, on the charts that appear year after year, there is always an erotic novel among the best-selling books of the season . If you want to spend some time reading more than entertaining and raising your body temperature, erotic fantasy can transport you to other spaces that will make you have a good time .
A gender by and for women
The erotic novel usually has a presence of women writers that is overwhelming. Perhaps because we know our body, our physical needs, or perhaps because we are the ones who best understand the most passionate romanticism, the creative women of this literary genre triumph.
It is also true that the female audience predominates when buying these novels. It is unlikely that we will see many males reading erotic novels. Maybe they feel a bit embarrassed, or it may not be a genre they fully understand. But what is certain is that the erotic novel captivates women more than men.
Because these novels invite you to dream, they are usually very suitable to spend a light time, without too many complications of an intellectual nature . Better a romantic novel loaded with sensuality, than a political or literary essay that is meticulous and brainy. If we have little time, this genre will interest us, because we will spend fun, passionate and above all, relaxed times.
Sagas, sagas and more sagas
One of the most interesting aspects of this literary genre is its ability to create second, third, fourth and even fifth parts. Women always want to know more and more about that impossible love, about complicated and passionate relationships, about unresolved family conflicts. There are many writers who have made the erotic novel their livelihood and with a success that pulverizes any literary record.
The rise of the well-known Fifty Shades of Gray saga, also taken to the cinema, put the focus on this type of literature, to date quite underestimated by the most demanding critics. This saga, by a well-known British author, became an unprecedented success in 2011. It narrates the sexual relations of a student with a business magnate, with explicitly harsh scenes of servility and sadomasochism.
Since its first installment, it is already on the fourth issue, and its rights have been sold to the cinema. The premiere of the first film was a complete success, although, of course, the work has received terrible reviews and others that place it among the most notable and quality novels of this genre.
But there are predecessor novels that you cannot miss if you like this theme . The Hateful Guy saga, written in tandem by two American novelists who rose to fame in 2013, chronicles the experiences of two lovers who have sexual adventures in the office. The morbid is served, and there are several deliveries.
For its part, the trilogy Seduction, Obsession and Confession , will delight the most demanding readers, narrating the sexual adventures and misadventures of a London billionaire. But there is more: novels that take an unexpected turn when a woman travels 200 years in time, to meet the love of her life, who is obviously already dead. Forastera , that’s the title of the work, is one of the most acclaimed novels of recent times. And there are many more.
Eroticism is part of the life of any woman, it is convenient that we do not forget and leave behind social stereotypes. Be open-minded, why not have a good time reading erotic novels? Enjoy it!
