Personally....when I "attempt" erotica, I often wonder if perhaps sentiment is a bad thing. I know that I have never forgotten the way I felt after reading some pieces of erotic literature by people such as Anne Rice. Emotion can lay ahold of you, and I wonder if I am the only one who feels that erotica can be brought to another level. Into (as the highly cliche'd Shakespeare might say) "something rich and strange". Into something beautiful and better for the reading.
I hope to hear some feedback on this point.
Thank you,
Melanie
