Edwin Schlossberg said, “The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think.” Unfortunately, when it comes to erotica, people have thought about almost everything. It can be difficult to come up with a creative scenario when humans have been thinking about and performing sexual acts for decades.
Throughout the coming blog days, I plan to discuss some of the most common erotica clichés and highlight examples of authors gone right, providing proof to the belief that although equally effective, erotica is smarter than pornography.
Exhibit 1: Food
What do people fantasize almost as much as they fantasize about sex? Ah, yes…food. This culinary cliché can be found all throughout pop culture. From the porn favorite “pizza delivery boy,” to phallic hotdog references, to whipped cream bikinis, food and sex have been combined in many ways.
Yet, Jessica Winter found a way to weave in food without going overboard, a pie encounter that would make Stiffler’s mom hang her head in shame.
“It started with a cherry pie.”
