For Writers, By Writers | Erotica for Dummies

Now, I know none of you are dummies. Erotica for Dummies just tickled me as a title.

Let's talk about it.
 As I was thinking of a topic for this Monday's entry, it hit me just how many ways there are to describe erotica in a story.

  • Erotica
  • Erotic Romance
  • Romantica
  • Fiction with strong romantic and erotic elements
  • 18+, Meant for mature audiences only 
There are plenty of other places that define these categories, like this article over at Library Journal about Full-Frontal Shelving. Good reading. And everyone here already knows that erotica is not porn. Smart Bitch Sarah over at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books said it best. No need to rehash.

The thing about erotica is that the focus of the story is the sex, right?

Well, kinda.

If that's all it was, then we'd be writing and reading porn, right? But we say erotica isn't porn. So then, why is it erotica?

It's erotica because the story takes us there the same way good foreplay does. 

I think everyone who writes romance should read Intimate Behavior: A Zoologist's Classic Study of Human Intimacy by Desmond Morris. It's an oldie but goldie. It discusses the stages of intimacy and the patterns of human behavior learned from infancy. The potential for depth in a relationship fording the uncharted waters of intimacy and sexuality in each interaction is phenomenal for a writer who understands how it all works at such a subconscious level.

Would this level of intimacy be hotter if you knew they just met?
Sex and physical intimacy go way beyond sex. By the time Tab A fits into Slot B, the couple (or threesome, or more, ha!) have covered astonishing ground.

One of the stages of intimacy that always strikes me so powerfully is the 8th stage: Hand to Head. By the time a couple has reached this stage of physical intimacy, they have conquered other tense challenges such as Arm to Shoulder, and Arm to Waist. Oftentimes, they reach the 7th's stage --Mouth to Mouth-- at the same time they reach the 8th stage.

Why is this so important?

Imagine this:
He stepped closer, his features half-hidden in the firelight. The deep russet of his silk waistcoat seemed the color of dried blood in the flickering light. She swallowed hard, trying to still her breathing.

Her heart pounded beneath her breast, and she knew her cheeks must be glowing pink. It seemed she was alight from head to toe. "Y-Your reputation precedes you, Master Kensington." She caught herself twisting her apron into knots and smoothed it down with sweaty palms.

 He laughed, a deep rumble that made her insides quiver. "You think you cannot trust me?" Ethan reached out and tucked a stray bit of hair behind her ear. The back of his knuckles traced down the line of her jaw, then tipped her chin up to look at him. 

Her stomach was twisting in upon itself, and her knees shook. She backed away a step, out of his reach. "I know I cannot trust you."

Okay, so this is an exaggerated example, but you get the idea. Putting hands to another person's head is a considerable leap in personal space. The head houses the brain. One hard blow can incapacitate and even kill someone. Most people duck their heads when they flinch. It's instinctive. Most of our senses --taste, sight, sound, smell-- are done with organs located in the head.

To allow someone to go there is quite a statement of trust with their physical safety.

As an erotic romance author, I try to give plenty of significance to the levels of intimacy that my characters would find particularly significant, given their individual backgrounds and personal space. A finger traced down the side of a cheek, in the right context, can be more erotic than the moment before a climax involving three penises, one female mouth, seven groping hands, and a rubber chicken.

Not that I have anything against the chicken.

It's all fun and games 'till someone kicks a chicken.

Naughty Nights Press Celebrates 6 Months Blog Hop, Come Join Us In The Fun


Welcome to Naughty Nights Press 
Celebrates 6 Months Blog Hop.





It doesn’t seem that long ago we were biting our nails as our first two books The Cabin by Nathanial Bosch and Danvers Asylum by Chrystian Marrero were released.

Since then we have released in total 17 books by some of the most fantastic authors around. We have had Cassandre Dayne thrill and excite us with her books, Spankdown, Raging Shadows, Red Fire – Surrender, Mr. Mistletoe and Forced Fantasies. Tessa Wanton delighted us with The Training of Tess, whilst Elizabeth Black took those of us old enough to remember back to the 1980’s with Don’t Call Me Baby. Julez S. Morbius astounded us with his tender portrayal of the third sex in Star Search and Daniel Burnell introduced us to a poetic ménage à trois in Poets. BL Morticia had our mouths watering over Something Fresh Served Hot, the first book in the Something New on the Menu series. Abby Hayes showed us how social networking can be used to spice up our sex lives when we meet old school friends in Finding Paradise.

Now if that hasn’t been enough to make you weak at the knees and your heart racing in lustful anticipation, we have also had our anthologies. A Wicked & Wanton All Hallows Eve made up of erotic horror and thrillers came out in time for Halloween, what a screaming success it was. We all then went back to our college years and wrote about those illicit fantasies we had about our professors and fellow classmates (all 18+ of course) with Campus Sexploits where everyone graduated top of the class. Along came Christmas and we were all eager to know what Santa was going to bring us, only to find that Santa had us Doing The Naughty List, Twice and it was oh so worth it, with everyone enjoying what they found in their Christmas stocking or under the Christmas tree.

This month we have John Simpson pushing the boundaries with Pain and Revenge, his first release with Naughty Nights Press and surely not his last. And what better way to top off the month, than by having a collection of short stories that describe those situations where everyone walks away with a smile on their face with Spontaneous Liaisons.

So there we have it, our first six months in business and I can tell you now that our next six months is going to be bigger and brighter with lots of juicy, seat squirming books to come.

At the top of our page you will see a tab called Sales and Secrets, please make sure to visit it often as this is where we put all the good stuff like discounts on e-books and things that are upcoming but still in shhh mode.

If you are interested in submitting a story to Naughty Nights Press, then please go here to see what submissions we are currently accepting plus we always put out a post on here to notify people of what ones we are seeking for the current month.

Naughty Nights Press is giving away six e-books and it is very simple to win. All we ask is that you like our Facebook Page  and then leave your name, email address and what format you would prefer your e-book to be in, in the comment section below.

Winners and e-books will be chosen randomly using Random.org and announced on Monday 16th January 2012.
E-Books to be given away will be the following:
2 copies of Campus Sexploits
1 copy of Forced Fantasies
1 copy of Finding Paradise

A PRIVATE ISLAND AND CABANA BOYS by Cassandre Dayne

A PRIVATE ISLAND AND CABANA BOYS

Does that do something for your sexy drive? It does for me. I don’t think there’s anything better than a couple of bronze kissed men in the middles of the islands. I can only imagine a dip in the sea with two hotties and preferably naked. I know what you’re thinking - the sand will creep into all the wrong places. No ladies, there was ways to prevent the itchy trauma. I’ve blogged about sex clubs before – both the good and sometimes ugly sides but I wanted to give you another kind of sex club. These are designed with nothing but pleasure in mind.

You’ve probably heard of Hedonism before. It’s a secluded and exclusive club that caters to men, women and couples providing fantasies of every kind. Some you can preplan when you books your itinerary and others might be planned as a surprise. Either way, you’re going to have a wonderful time. Many of the clubs require that you are screened medically before you can set foot into the establishment to ensure that everyone will have a wonderful time without fear of catching any diseases. There are other clubs that cater to even darker sides of kind and they are spread all over the world.

Could you travel with a girlfriend to a wonderful island cove where the water is a dazzling cerulean blue, the waves are gentle, the beaches infused with shimmering pink crystals and the men even steamier than the beach?

I’ve experienced such a place. St. Maartin is such a wondrous island retreat and I went with a girlfriend of mine several years ago – just the two of us. We stayed in a wonderful castle like hotel on the French side and it was every woman’s fantasy. The pool boys were all golden haired and sun-kissed and Carol and I really didn’t want to leave the facility…but we did and found Orient Beach. Have you ever heard of it? It’s a saucy nude beach and let me tell you – it’s one of the most breathtaking places on earth.

And to answer your question, yes we sunbathed in the nude. Trust me that we had no worries as while there was delicious eye candy, others were lacking in…well, you get the picture. We loved it. We met several gorgeous French men that claimed to know no English and we had a VERY good time. Could you do it?

In Taming Paradise – two girls do just that. Not only are they staying in a exclusive location but they our little heroine finds herself in the middle of a hot game where she seduces two New Zealand hunks in the middle of the surf. Hmm…just imagine what happens for an encore. Let’s take a taste...

TAMING PARADISE – RELEASING JULY 2011 FROM REBEL INK PRESS

Shannon Myers had it with men. Finding her fiancé, Randolph, in bed with a naughty blond vixen half her age did little for her self-esteem and despair settled in. Incensed, her best friend, Amy, whisked her way to a Caribbean island and a well known Hedonistic spot so that she could recover while convincing her to have a wicked fling of her own. Developing a naughty game titled Taming Paradise, the first one that bedded not one but two stunning hunks would win. Her spirit crushed, Shannon refused until she took one look at New Zealanders, Brandon and his rough-hewn friend Kyle and knew that two young studs just might be her ticket to a slice of happiness. Instantly the nights turned saucy as Brandon introduced her to a very kinky society, where all things scandalous were on the menu.
Shannon found herself falling hard, until she realized that he was none other than Randolph’s son and she was embroiled in a ruse that included releasing her inner most secret and very erotic cravings they had shared together years before. Racing back to the states, she was determined to put the experience behind her. However Brandon wasn’t playing a game. He had been in love with her for years and the moment he found out about his father’s behavior, he was determined to win her heart. It took nefarious planning, a surprise visit from Randolph and a series of truths to finally convince her to take a chance with a young man that stilled her heart and filled her every desire.

EXCERPT

The knowing look that passed between the two told Shannon many things. One, they weren’t new to picking up women and two they were also into sharing. She nibbled on her bottom lip and her nipples hardened into little pebbles at the thought. Go on girl, you deserve this. Taking a long sip of her drink, she licked the rim and looked each in the eye.
“You boys into skinny dipping?” She set her empty glass down onto the sand and placed her hands onto her hips.
Brandon laughed and reached for her. “You’re playful as well as luscious, a dangerous combination.”
God she could stare at his gorgeous face all day, but instead she scuttled away, grinning and unfastening her skirt, holding the material out to the side. “You think?” The filmy material fluttered to the sand. “Can you boys handle this or um…too hot for you?” Shannon twirled in circles, tempting and teasing as she unfastened her top and in the most daring manner she could imagine pitched it to the side, allowing them to see her firm breasts for the first time.
“Oh…my…God,” Kyle breathed and moved forward.
The cat and mouse game began. With deft fingers she lowered her bikini bottoms, flung the wisp of material over her shoulder and took off in a dash toward the surf praying to God she didn’t look ridiculous racing toward the ocean. She tumbled into the salty water as a wave crashed over her, knocking her to the wet sand.
Seconds later two sets of hands jerked her from the comfort of the warm water and directly in Brandon’s arms. She gasped the moment his hard cock grazed against her belly. The men were now naked affording Shannon her first glimpse of what could only be described as the most gorgeous thick cocks she’d ever seen. Whimpering softly, Shannon resisted the urge to grab Brandon’s.
Kyle gingerly parted her legs and danced his hands up from the inside of her knees to the tender flesh of her inner thighs. “Sexy woman and so very hot. You have no idea what you started.”
Oh, hell yes I did. The dark baritone of Kyle’s accent shimmied off her back and she fought the whimper that caught in her throat. When Brandon captured her mouth and thrust his tongue past her lips, she could taste the harsh edge of his whisky and a hint of spearmint candy. Shannon wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on her tiptoes as the kiss became a force of passion and wild abandon. Brandon’s hands slid down her back to cup her ass as Kyle reached between them caressing and fondling her breasts, pinching her nipples until her pussy flowed from the sweet anguish sizzling her blood.
Their tongues entwined as Brandon held her, grinding his hips into her, his hand opening her ass cheeks and lifting her legs from the sand.
Kyle brushed the golden locks from her neck and pressed kisses across her flesh, then his tongue darted out to mirror the efforts of his mouth.
“You taste like sweet cherries, ripe and fresh for picking,” he whispered across her skin.
Every part of Shannon’s body shook as Brandon and Kyle drove her into a wild frenzy. She entwined her fingers in Brandon’s long locks, as the musky hint of his exotic cologne wafted across her nose. Somehow the warm scent was dangerously inviting and a reminder of just how much she loved having a man take her hard and fast.
Brandon eased her back toward the surf, his kisses growing more frenetic and laced with a dark hunger. He jerked her body to his, holding her tightly as if she might run. “Ataahua, you still me.”
Shannon inched her fingers across his hips and down to the softness of his pubic hair. As his hard cock throbbed in her palm, she shuddered and craved being devoured to the point of exhaustion. He was long and thick and hard, and no doubt hungry for her. She broke the kiss and nibbled Brandon’s lower lip as Kyle eased her back against his cock. Dear God, was it truly possible that both men were built like brick shithouses? That little bad girl that had always existed in Shannon knew the answer. Holy hell, they were hot, studly and offering their bodies on a silver platter and she was famished.
Kyle’s fingers slipped inside her pussy, flexing open and closed in an orchestrated dance, sending a cascade of tingles racing down her spine. All the while he licked and bit her shoulder as he whispered words she couldn’t completely understand, but every whisper of heated breath sent another series of sizzling jolts deep within her pussy.
Brandon yanked her hair, forcing her back into a deep arch and sucked her neck, licking the soft underside of her tender skin as he slid one hand over her breast, pinching and twisting her sensitized flesh.
Shannon moaned and would have been lost to gravity had the water not kept her afloat. The soft waves pushed the three of them together and an amazing rush of sensations flooded her body as Kyle pressed two more fingers inside. Brandon eased his hand over hers, encouraging her sensual movements as he squeezed her fingers around the thickness of his shaft. Needing no guide, Shannon moved up and down on his cock noting every vein, her thumb moving back and forth across the thick head.
Kyle forced his fingers in deeper, driving into her as his other hand wrapped around his leg to tickle her clit in circle after circle, teasing her until she shivered.
“We want you. Will you allow us to make love with you beautiful baby?” Brandon’s whispers were ragged, hoarse from the intensity of his longing.
“Will you allow us to give you every pleasure you so desire?” Kyle added, his destructive glance telling her that his beast had risen.
“Yes…I…yes.”
Every single movement of their hands, their cocks and their lips drove Shannon to the utter brink of sexual rapture and back again. It was as if she was submitting to a pleasure beyond her control. Kyle drove his fingers in and out of her slick pussy as his other hand eased her ass cheeks apart. He slid the tip of his finger inside her dark hole wiggling back and forth. She threw her head back and clawed Brandon’s arms as he lowered his head and nipped first one nipple and the then next, drawing the flesh between his teeth and biting. The water lapped them with gentle waves and Shannon was transported into a mindless field of nothing but tumultuous sensations.
“God…oh God…”
Kyle pressed another finger and then another inside her ass as his other hand worked in a delicious unison driving her off her feet and into Brandon. Removing his fingers from her pussy, he grunted as he continued thrusting his fingers into her ass past her tight ring of muscle. “I’m going to fuck you here,” he breathed.
Dear God, I hope so. “Oooohhh….Je-sus.” Shannon tried to focus, yet the warmth of the water and the incredible sensations of their erotic actions created a shower of vivid colors and swirls stealing her vision. Her heart was ragged as it beat frantically against the walls of her chest.

So tell me – could you do something so wicked and shameless? I have a feeling I know the answer…

Kisses xxx

Author Elle D. Hayes joins Gina Kincade on Naughty Nights Press blog!




It is with the greatest pleasure that I have with me here today Elle D. Hayes, author of an upcoming release entitled Wynter’s Blossom.

Hi Elle! Thank you for joining me here today on the Naughty Nights Press blog! I am very excited learn all about you and your new book and to share it with our followers so lets get started!




1. Can you share a few “interesting facts” about your self?
I am a proud Romance Groupie and have been since I was twelve. I get the biggest kick out of meeting an author I’ve admired from afar. I’m also an unrepentant clothes horse and shoe collector.

2. What is a typical day like for you?
Well a girl has to pay the bills so I still work a full-time job in finance. Thankfully I’m a night owl or maybe part vampire. Either way, my creative juices don’t start flowing until its dark outside. I write for about four hours most weekday evenings. On Friday and Saturday evenings I work until dawn.

3. What “pet peeves” do you have if any?
A personal pet peeve would be people who treat others poorly and people who complain all the time.

4. What is the best book you read last month, and would you recommend it to a friend?
Seven Nights by Jess Michaels and yes I would recommend it in a heartbeat.

5. When did you realize you wanted to be an author?
It’s been something I’ve thought of doing for years but would always talk myself out of it. Then a couple of years ago, right before a milestone birthday, I decided to give it a serious try. I haven’t looked back since.

6. What was your goal for yourself as a writer when you started? Did you meet or surpass it or did it change for you along the way?
My only goal was to get published. Now that I’ve almost reached that goal I’m setting new goals for myself. One is to release at least three books this year. Another is to attend at least one big conference next year.

7. Do you write exclusively naughty erotic romance?
At the moment, yes. I’m not opposed to exploring other genres but erotic romance is what moves me right now.

8. Do you have a ritual to get you ready to write?
Something special you do to psyche you up? Not a ritual really, but I do need to limit distractions. I usually listen to instrumental music unless there is a certain song that really fits the story I’m working on. Wynter’s Blossom had a soundtrack. There were certain songs I listened to while writing it that just seemed to fit the different chapters.

9. What is your writing process like? How long does it take you to finish a story from beginning to end?
I do an outline first and try to be as detailed as possible. I seem to need the structure of an outline. The amount of time it takes to finish a story varies. I have a novella I worked on recently that took forever to finish because I struggled with two pivotal scenes.

10. What do you love most about writing? What do you hate about it?
I love the creative process. Creating characters and worlds is thrilling. I haven’t found anything to hate yet. Even the editing process, which everyone warned me I would hate, was so exciting to me. I guess I’m still in the honeymoon stage of my writing career but frankly speaking, I hope I stay here.

11. After writing for hours at a time how do you relax?
One of my favourite ways to relax is to read. I also like shopping with my daughter and going to basketball games with my husband. My family keeps me centered.

12. Is there a specific bit of advice you would give to an aspiring author who is looking to publish their work?
Network with other writers! You can do this via Facebook and/or Twitter and also by joining a professional organization. It’s important to have other people who understand what you’re going through. I joined a few private groups on Facebook and the support has been phenomenal.

13. How did you decide on a Publisher? What were the factors that convinced you it was the right one for your work?
I formed a friendship with Jayha Leigh of Beautiful Trouble Publishing on Facebook. I expressed my disappointment after having Wynter’s Blossom rejected twice by large publishing houses. She volunteered to critique it for me. About a month after sending it to her she asked if I’d be interested in contracting with BTP. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity. The wonderful thing about working with Jayha and her partner Jeanie Johnson is they’re also writers so I feel like they get me.

14. Can you share a little bit about your current release with us? Where can we find it?
Wynter’s Blossom is a paranormal story set in modern day Montana. Lots of badass werewolves to drool over and heroines you’ll cheer on. This is the first book in my Unity Pack series. Future books in the series will explore various relationship dynamics like interracial, younger man/older woman, and a few surprises. E-books can be purchased on the Beautiful Trouble Publishing website.

15. Where can your readers find you? Blog/Website/Twitter or any other links you’d like to share with us please feel free.
I have three online “homes”.

This has been a phenomenal interview and I would like to say thank you Elle for taking time out of your day to tell us all about yourself and your writing.

I am sure there will be many updating their TBR lists after this!



Thanks for having me. I hope visitors to your site enjoy reading Wynter’s Blossom as much as I enjoyed writing it. I want to encourage them to visit one of my online homes to let me know what they think.
