Do we all have the ability to write erotica? Even if we are able writers; will the conscience stand up to what we do, or what we might become? This is both a moral and ethical question. Arguably, the market is there. So, in defense of existing writers of all things sexual, they are providing a service to a marketable audience. There's a 'which came first; the chicken or the egg' scenario about the entire thing. If there was no demand , there would be no requirement to supply.
Many people read naughty literature..but for the writers...there is a large question mark. How much is too much????? and how little is not enough???? Is erotica (which some still class as pornography) degrading to women, for example???? Would we like our children, family and friends to know we are writing what are essentially dirty stories???
The answer to the latter question is 'probably not', after all, my Author created moi 'Tantrica' to mask her interest in erotica and all things sexy...but why??? Isn't she the one actually writing this blog? - Obviously, the answer is yes...but there's a possibility that it is the attitude of others, rather than her own, that has shrouded her. She is not alone. Many writers of this type of fiction use pseudonyms appropriate to the style and might arguably be said to enhance...adding a 'tongue - in- cheek', slightly cliched and instantly recognizable aura.
Again, I'm hoping some of the answers to these questions, and more, become clearer as I progress. The main issue at the moment is...what are the plus and minus sides to writing intimate works of fiction in both poetry and prose? Can I sit comfortably with the genre? and, most importantly, who would I be writing for?
Further invesigation is required.

Tantrica Writer is a fictional character/Author who records her exploration of online and offline eroticism and sexual identities. In her weblog journal she tells of her travels and adventures. (Tantrica is not to be mistaken as the Author who is an entirely seperate entity) This is merely an excercise in expressing creative writing in the genre of 'erotic fantasy'. 'Tantrica'(by name)writes all blog entries or posts that may tantalize the tasetebuds of the imagination.
