What is Erotic, Part 2 Willingness

Some readers and writers prefer their eroticism paced over several chapters filled with hours, days, months, or years of longing, gazing, imagining, hinting, flirting, desiring, wondering, and despairing, before the lovers finally get to the clinch. Not me. My erotic writing does not feature languid candlelight evenings. My characters are willing from the first line. 

Most characters in all types of fiction have exaggerated tendencies.  Fictional people are more exciting than real people. They do more adventurous things, have more interesting friends, and enjoy more sex. In an erotic story, more sex becomes more, more, more.

The plot of an erotic story needs to offer reasons why the characters are always in the mood and in the sack.  In my novel Mandi, the title character starts with a willingness to use everything she has, including her dynamite looks, to acquire power and wealth. Her appetite for sex is increased by a drug, the Fire Genie. When she thinks she's made her way to the top, she's snared by another drug that makes her a helpless, ever-horny libido slave. My novel Clytie takes place on a private resort island where public sex is a way of life and consorts are expected to provide pleasure at the whim of their lords. My series The Fair Warrior Chronicles tells the stories of people whose sex drive has been pumped by a paranormal encounter. All these plot lines create opportunities for couples, threesomes, and ménage, straight, gay, and bi, and none of the characters ever says no.
