The Secret Sensuality Of Written Words
Sex guides and toys be damned, I maintain that the brain is the most sensual organ in your arousal arsenal. Here's one way to keep it revved.
As Divine Caroline's You.Propelled campaign continues to support the big payouts that come through small changes, I started thinking about passion and how the lack of it can be such a hugely divisive, distancing factor in a relationship. So, here's a bell-and-whistle-free fix for putting you in the mood.
Whether it's thumbing through the sleaziest romance novel at the grocery store or discreetly Googling plot synopses of X-rated movies, one of the easiest ways to enhance your love life right now is to simply read—and let your imagination run wild.
Sex guides and toys be damned, I maintain that the brain is the most sensual organ in your arousal arsenal. After all, your noggin is responsible for interpreting all the physical stimuli as sexual pleasure. So as much as I love to poke fun at those paperbacks with Fabio lookalikes clutching scantily clad dames, I'll be the first to admit, nothing revs up a sex drive quite like a few choice chapters in a sordid harlequin.

An astounding slice of the U.S. population agrees. According to the Romance Writers of America, romance novels constitute the largest share of the consumer book market, with well over $1 billion in annual sales. But if you're looking for a quick rush, why waste time wading through all the he-said, she-said drama? Why not go one small step further and sink some teeth into some full-blooded erotic fiction?

It is a very fine line between the two genres—a line that ultimately determines whether or not you would take it out to read in public. But in my opinion, erotic fiction can be as simple as reading the back of the DVD for Boogie Nights. It's all relative to your capacity to immerse yourself in the imagery—start your arousal from the brain down. Reading erotica, on whatever level of intensity, is an immediate mental exercise and sexual stimuli at the same time. It can provide ideas for the bedroom and act as foreplay. And compared to porn, it's ten times classier. So what are you waiting for? Exercise your sexual literacy today!

Hurray for erotica.I'm very shy when it comes to bedroom adventures but I had come to realize that writing my feelings / desires is a great way to let him know what I cannot verbalize not even during intimacy. I don't have a man now but I tried my writings with an ex and he wants us back ( no way ) I started with a poem years ago that I sent to a guy far from here his answer was red hot I keep writing for the day when I get to need them... if or make a little book to sell. Erotica is the pink side of porn , for all of us women to use without sounding or looking cheap and men loves it. Try your hand at writing .
I love romance novels! They are a great way to get in the mood. Don't be ashamed, enjoy what you enjoy.
A few lusty books for your reading pleasure:

iOhhhh Yea GO! Qverb! Yummmm! My BF has a guy that writess OMG stories for her. She is the envy of the girl pool.
What an awesome article. Absolutely agree about our brain being leader of the sensuous 'pack'. Erotica is great for learning new things, positions, and kinks you didn't know turned you on. When your guy says "Tell me what you want." Erotica is a great way to find out what turns you on so you can tell him. "Honey I want to try this." My hubby loves it when I read bed time stories to him!!
Can't afford the full price books? Call around at your half price book stores, Amazon is a good source, but my favorite (especially if you want to get your pen wet and write your own and get feed back) www.literotica.com. The categorizes and variety has something for everyone. My hubby wanted me to 'talk dirty' to him and I royal stink at this....so found a book and now I can do CPR the ol' mojo when needed. Erotica is a great outlet, learning tool, and feeds the imagination. Don't know about stinky cheese licking off the boots - Watch: Confessions of an Erotica Writer but it is an adrenaline rush to do some activity and have your hubby of 23 years say "OMG where did you learn to do ~that~?" Oh just something I read. Better yet, your panting, out of breath. Your Hubby just gave you the ultimate body from head to toe orgasm that made you make the neighbors dog howl. "Your a sex God. Where did you learn that?" and he devilishly grins "Oh just something I read."

I'd say to take it a step farther and write some erotic fiction for your honney bunny.
Guys, nothing gets a woman so hot as discovering a sordid little tale about a playful romp between you and her when she next reaches into her purse at the office to root around for change to get a soda. It will set up all sorts of deliciously wicked thoughts for her to be tormented by throughout the day, and it really keeps the 'ole noggin at its sexually sensual peak!
Ladies, give it a shot too! I know I love it when I get little messages about what she has in store for me!
