Erotica For Women

Erotica for women is erotic content that has been created with women as its main audience. The term can mean erotic videos, erotic fiction (sex stories) or audio erotica. The main use of this term is to identify sexy stuff that women will enjoy.

Obviously what is erotic is a personal opinion and what qualifies as erotica for women can be a very subjective thing. Women aren’t a monolith and so women’s tastes will vary wildly. What turns one woman on can be completely different to what works for another.

So why use the term “erotica for women”? Well, like “porn for women” it’s mainly a handy search term to use when you’re looking for something that isn’t all the other mainstream, cishet male gaze porny stuff out there. So much porn is made with an assumption that it’s men watching and thus it reflects men’s desires and attitudes to sex. A lot of it is sexist and racist and often has negative, shameful attitudes to sex. So erotica for women is content that is feminist, sex positive and seeks to offer a female perspective (whatever that may be).

This type of erotica is sometimes described as ethical porn or feminist porn. These terms are a handy way to describe porn that is produced ethically with a focus on consent, equal pleasure and performer rights.

“Erotica for women” has long been used in the real of erotic fiction. Before the video-focused world of the internet, sex stories was one of the main ways that women were able to explore their own desires and sexuality. The Herotica series of books, launched in 1993, was a groundbreaking erotic fiction collection edited by Susie Bright. These stories explored women’s fantasies and centred women’s sexual experiences. The Best Women’s Erotica series, edited by Violet Blue throughout the 2000s was another handy addition to the genre.

Best Women’s Erotica of the Year, edited by Rachel Kramer Bussell is the latest series. This features erotic short stories by new and well-known erotic authors and typically follows a theme each year. The 2023 edition had a theme of “temptation”.

Audio erotica is another form of sexy content that many women enjoy. Listening to sex stories is a handy way to unleash the erotic imagination without being burdened by the demands of visual depictions. An audio story lets you imagine the characters and scenarios so that they’re more in line with your own ideals of beauty. Audio porn is often read in a seductive way to enhance the experience. There’s a growing number of apps and websites that offer audio porn. You’ll find hot audio at Bright Desire, FrolicMe and also at Cheex. You can also enjoy free hot erotic audio stories right here. Check out Fuck, a free erotic audio story by Ms. Naughty. Under the pseudonym Louise Lush, Ms. Naughty recently had a story called “Bloom” published in Best Women’s Erotica Of The Year 9, mentioned above.

Some people assume erotica for women is only softcore, romantic content. But that’s not true. Just as women’s fantasies and desires are diverse, so is this type of erotic material. Yes, there IS flowery romantic porn out there but there’s also every type of hardcore kink and intense porn you can imagine. The people filming and writing erotica for women aren’t limited in what they create. The main thing they’re doing is offering something different, something that’s inclusive of women as readers and viewers. And of course, it’s not just limited to those who identify as women. There’s a lot of content that can come under this umbrella that appeals to everyone. It’s really about being more sex positive, more inclusive and yes, more female-friendly.
