Comments on: Erotic Fiction and Spanking Fiction: Are They the Same? http://spankingstorybook.com/31/erotic-fiction-and-spanking-fiction-are-they-the-same/ Tue, 29 Mar 2011 04:42:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Faith http://spankingstorybook.com/31/erotic-fiction-and-spanking-fiction-are-they-the-same/#comment-44 Faith Mon, 26 Nov 2007 05:03:18 +0000 http://www.spankingstorybook.com/31/erotic-fiction-and-spanking-fiction-are-they-the-same/#comment-44 Ollie and Storynattie - thank you for your thoughtful responses. I do think it is an interesting question. We all express our interest in spanking in different ways, and that definitely influences our views on spanking fiction.

I often say I write erotica, but I've written very few (in my mind) sex scenes, so I've often wondered about your question. There are so many things to be enjoyed in a spanking story, lol. I love every bit of it: the spanking, the romance, the sex, and I'm pretty interested if they stretch it past just spanking as far as kinky goes. Some readers, though, want a tender romance with just spanking, more sweet than sexy. Some want more spanking than romance, some want spanking with plenty of sex. Mostly, I think whether it's erotica or not is more in the eye of the beholder than anywhere else. I don't know. Great question, though! That’s a great question!

"Pornographic" is often used as a pejorative term, and is applied to something too extreme for our personal taste. On the other hand some people are completely open about this and say that they enjoy pornography for its own sake. With regard to spanking stories there is a difference in my opinion between the story where the spanking is merely something which happens as a normal part of the relationship, the story wouldn't have to describe the spanking at all, and the story where the spanking is the force driving the tale, where the story is just a vehicle for describing a spanking. It is much easier to write the second story as it is not essential to have an interesting scenario or characters, all you need is a pretext, a top and a bottom, and yes it can be erotic. Many spanking stories are DD based, which I personally I find difficult because I cannot relate to the philosophy of the situation. They leave me cold due to the inherent unfairness in the set up which masquerades as justice. Therefore to me they cease to be erotic. When we move into the realms of fantasy everything changes again, and eroticism can be created in an extreme situation which we know is not real. We are safe within the boundary that we know that this is fantasy, and may be enjoyed as such.
