Erotica may not be Pulitzer Prize winning material, but it does have an important role on our bookshelf. They are great tools for play. Act one out with your partner. Read them out loud to each other. And, one of my key roles for this genre, use them to get yourself in the mood. This is a biggie for you older women who need a little extra help getting yourself in the mood for your partner. Erotica should be an important part of your sexual diet. A story a day keeps the missionary position away.
