Whether you are in a relationship or not, we all need some sexy me-time. However, getting in the mood can be challenging if you aren’t able to shake the stresses of the day from how mind. In such cases, some extra help might help get you going by spurring your imagination.So how about indulging in some erotica?
Erotica refers to books, pictures or the like that produce sexual desire or pleasure. It is easily accessible these days, with a range of options online featuring erotica stories or even audio erotica. Here are seven options to ease you into this world – why not start with one that best suits your personality?
If you’re highly imaginative and love to think up different scenarios when you read erotic fiction – or, indeed, any type of fiction – this is the site for you. The stories are interactive adult fiction and give the reader a few scenarios as options to move the plot forward. If you remember reading the ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ books when you were a child (the books are still sold today), think of this as an adult – way more adult – version of that series. It’s certainly a unique setup for erotica. The best thing about this format is – you can read the same story a few times for different (happy) endings.

Sure, this looks like a website from the ’90s but the content has substance so don’t judge this (erotic) book by its cover (page). As its name suggests, the stories revolve around self-pleasure and there’s a huge selection here. But there’s more than just erotic fiction on this site; there’s also a section on techniques for solo sex. These include stories contributed by readers about how they reach the Big O – which works as erotica by itself too. A warning that some of them can get very X-rated so the site (especially this reader-contributed section) might not be for the faint-hearted.
Visit Solo Touch
Smile Makers is a Singapore-based wellbeing brand that champions the belief that vibrators should be sold in everyday stores as sexual wellness is an inseparable part of our physical and mental health. They develop products for sexual pleasure and also promote sexuality awareness and education (their Vulva Talks series is a good resource).
But it’s not just about the products; the website also has a rather extensive selection of erotic stories, ranging from romantic erotica to stories on bondage. If you prefer listening to erotica, there are also some audio erotica stories to enjoy here – we can’t think of better bedtime stories to lull us into a happy slumber.
You can choose how to enjoy your erotica here as there’s the option of reading or listening to them. The ‘girl on the net’ has been blogging since 2011 and has also written a few books. The posts here are either written by her or by guests. Having been in existence for more than 10 years, there is certainly a lot to explore here.
Visit Girl on the net
There are puns galore on this site – even its name is a play on words. The erotic stories are called ‘cliterature’ and while they may have a sense of humour, the site is serious about its erotica. The stories are mostly focussed on self-pleasure and the archives go all the way back to 2010. There are also articles and information aimed at promoting female masturbation, plus a positive masturbation guide. The website’s tagline is ‘helping you hit the right spot’ and it definitely provides the guidance for you to get there.
Visit Clitical
There’s a good range of stories here and you can choose what type you want to read via the homepage. Genres include exhibitionism, supernatural, voyeur and hardcore. It describes itself as a ‘sex stories and erotica-focused adult social network’. Users can submit stories so this means it’s updated very often.
Visit Lush Stories
This is the news/advice site from sex toys brand Lelo. It features sex tips, advice and the best positions for you and your partner to get as adventurous as you want. It also has a pretty good range of erotic stories and some audio erotica. Plus, there’s an entire section on erotic serials so if you’re the type who loves suspense and wants to keep coming (no pun intended) back for more, this is where you’ll find it.
