Though recent letters in the RWR would make you think it is.  That erotica writers are just as slutty as our characters, selling our souls to make a buck.

Just as they once maligned chick lit for it’s flighty, shoe-obsessed heroines, they now call our erotica heroines sluts (and us panderers). My good friend Mary J Blige had this to say about THEM:

Let em get mad
They gonna hate anyway
Don’t you get that?
Doesn’t matter if you’re going on with their plan
They’ll never be happy
Cause they’re not happy with themselves

Okay so she’s not REALLY my friend…but it’s the lyrics that are important. Some folks are just gonna be haters no matter what anyone does or says. You can’t change folks’ minds and I’m not here to try…honest. But I have something to say (And I can only speak for myself).

It’s not about the sex.

Really, it’s not.  Granted I write about sex because I LIKE writing about sex…And even though maybe I don’t always succeed, I do my damnedest to write about strong heroines who are comfortable with their sexuality no matter where it takes them.  If you can’t see past the racy covers, if you can’t see past words like cum, pussy, cock and…cunt to the heart of the matter, to the fact that it’s okay for a woman to explore and YES Celebrate her Sexuality, then you’re not my target audience anyway.   :yes:

To those of you who can see past what’s on the surface, or to those of you who enjoy reading erotica for whatever pleasure it brings you, I salute you.    :hump:
