Ok I've already written and published nationally acclaimed poetry for a few years now. As a matter of fact, I'm working on my first book of poetry soon....But I have been thinking of expanding my horizons to perhaps erotic fiction.
I've been thinking, everyone has sexual fantasies and hidden desires, why not write and have others to fulfill their desires through my work.
So I guess what I'm asking is do you think I should try writing erotic fiction? Why or why not? And should I publish the work? Let me know what you think....
Serious remarks please.......Any negative responses will be reported or deleted....Thanks

It's really up to you, poetry and erotic fiction are two different mediums.
If you think you have what it takes to do it well, then do it.
Try writing a chapter or two, get some people you trust, or your publisher if you have one to go over the pages and give you their opinions.
Just do it... and see what happens, either it's good, or it's not. At least you tried.

I'm a big fan of erotica. I read historical romance, the spicier the better. I'm a 42 yrs old woman, and I've been in the same relationship for the past 18yrs. But while my tastes have evolved, his haven't (you would think that someone who spends so many hours watching porno movies would learn something, but there you have it) So frankly, the only way to get my kicks nowadays it through my books. So, if you have it in you, then by all means, go for it. And publish, so that I might one day read it!

There is alot of AWFUL erotic fiction around so please be very discerning, but I think you need to read quite a bit of this genre before you start writing it. Try Anais Nin (I think that's the spelling) she is really fantastic. Shy away from Mills and Boon type schmuck. Do something intelligent, with decent dialogue, and no cheesy euphemisms. Also, don't make your protagonists romantic prototypes. Deal with realistic, normal people, make it poignant.
