The Written Word

Be it romance novels or transformative fan works, many people (women especially) tend to enjoy reading our erotic content. Here are a few romance authors and sites I recommend:

• Abigail Barnette

  • The Boss series - Barnett read 50 Shades of Gray and took it as a personal challenge to write a billionaire romance that didn’t break all the fundamental safety and consent rules of BDSM. The Boss is a feminist, kinky billionaire romance series that is sexy, safe, sane, and consensual.

• Bec McMaster

  • London Steampunk series

• Archive of our Own- AO3 is the leading home for transformative works (fan fiction) online. It also has a robust tagging system so you can search for any type of content your nerdy little heart desires - of any rating, any pairing, and any genre.

• LitErotica - an old school repository of sexy stories and audio

Video

Pornhub and RedTube have been the big players in erotic video for decades, but if you want a change of pace from mainstream content, check out this SheKnows.com collection of feminist erotica creators and platforms (including icon Erika Lust) that provides a great starting point for exploring video in that genre!
