Definitions

  1. Erotic literature.

    • Sure, most pulps of the day featured horny wrestlers, well-hung lumberjacks, and the like, but it would be a mistake to think that until the 1990s’ rise of “literotica,” serious themes—and anxieties—were altogether absent from gay porn.
    • Many people like erotica, and fanfiction plays into the field of literotica, engaging with the reader’s desires intellectually.
