honestly the modern romances or “eroticas”, like those by colleen hoover and emily henry. i tried very hard to get into them, but it’s like seeing wattpad kids grow up.

anais nin and phillip roth are two of my favorite older erotic writers, for reference. i also really enjoy archive of our own fanfiction, even if i don’t know the fandom. you get some ridiculously well written stuff when you strike gold!
