My free story on Literotica: Surprise Seduction

December 8, 2018 by Edward Ryan Leave a Comment

I started writing erotic stories a long time ago, as an outgrowth of my telling hot stories to my wife as foreplay and more.  The first volume of the Bedroom Secrets books consists largely of these stories, written to show the erotic excitement of a monogamous couple.

Over time, my writing expanded to my own fantasies, and those of others, until eventually I found my niche of stories that spanned erotic and educational.  That’s been a lot of fun.

For those who have asked, you can find one of my early fantasy stories Literotica.  This particular story was the fantasy of a friend I made online, and his desire to see his wife seduced by another man.  This was long before I became familiar with the term “cuckolding” or “hotwife,” which is now everywhere.

The story has a lot of themes in it:  cuckolding, D/s, exhibitionism, voyeurism, and some degree of group sex.  It was well-rated on Literotica, although it’s fallen just below the 4.5/5.0 “Hot!” story category over time.  But it’s still as serviceable read.

I hope you enjoy it!

New Book on Amazon: Absolution

January 3, 2018 by Edward Ryan Leave a Comment

She thought she had it all: a great husband, a great family and a great life steeped in the church. But competitive Maggie realizes that she’s missing something in her marriage and her sex life that other women seem to have. Fearful of her husband’s reaction and falling into sin, she represses her urges, growing increasingly frustrated and angry with her man for not giving her the intimacy and sexual connection she craves. Will Maggie find a way open up to her straight-laced husband and find a way to quench her raging desires?

The Bedroom Secrets Series shares stories of couples just like you embracing their fantasies and experiencing the intimacy of shared sexual adventures. Both erotic and educational, the stories are something one partner can point to, saying, “This is what I want, that I couldn’t put words to!”

Explicit Erotica

December 13, 2014 by Edward Ryan Leave a Comment

Explicit Erotica

I found out the other day that there is a “Bad Sex in Fiction Award” given each year by The Literary Review.

Prizes are awarded to “draw attention to the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel, and to discourage it.”

The prizes exclude purely erotic works, and do specifically look for poor writing. After reading a few of the snippets of past writing, I’d agree the past winners’ writing is painful.

But the intent behind this award is also to discourage sexual description they consider crude or tasteless. Which seems subjective.

Sex –explicitly described or not—is something that people do. But I don’t think enough of us do it enough… or well enough.

Erotica

Explicit sex in fiction can help relationships.

I believe that explicit sex in popular writing gives the reader a payoff that can ignite the passion in themselves and their partner. It raises awareness and acceptance of sex as a part of life, including new and exciting sexual interests, and helps push us past this legacy Puritan, prudish sexual repression we continue to have in the United States.

Plus, a well-written sex scene provides a payoff for the reader, and can ignite the passion with their partner. And a little steaminess does sell books… because that’s what people want.

Writing about sex provides the opportunity to tell the reader what each character was thinking, and to explain how events, circumstances and upbringing led to the characters connecting, for better or for worse. Understanding the characters’ issues and challenges and how they resolve those problems is interesting and important, especially if it leads to the characters connecting in the most intimate way possible. And that means sex.

I passionately believe that a good sex life is a requirement for a healthy, vibrant marriage.

A lot of people –especially those who have been together a long time—aren’t having good sex. Books that inspire, explain and motivate both partners to more passionate sex life and thus greater intimacy have their place.

And that’s pretty much what I try to accomplish with the books I write.
