In The Beginning....

I love to fantasize - especially at bedtime.  

I started when I was very young (oh come on... you did too)  and I would create these wonderfully sensual scenarios around the source of my current crush (movie star, boy next door,  cute older 2nd cousin twice removed, etc....).  There would be a story-line and a deliciously slow, smooth transition from before we kissed until after we kissed.  It was all about the kiss - then.... that first time you were close enough to sense the pheromones of your dream man... that intoxicating combination of his natural scent and his aftershave, lingering in the intimate air between you.... that wonderful moment when you are the most attractive being on earth and he is unable to live without taking you right there - but he restrains himself..... and so on and so forth!  

My point here is that, in my mind, as a young lady, I was able to release those very strong desires that encased me and float into a dreamy sleep whenever those hormones took a hold of my developing body.  This was my entry into the world of erotica, though I had no idea at the time.  

There is that place where our romantic notions develop into fantasies that invoke a spirit of sensuality and sybaritic release. It is a place where we, the sexual beings that we are created as, can in essence develop our own individuality in the realm of sensual pleasures in our mind.  A happy medium between reality and our dream world where truth and desire meet and give birth to a longing that is simultaneously quenched by the awareness that we are at once free!

Ok - I admit... that's a rather convoluted way of talking about Erotica but in doing so, I was stepping away from the theoretical notion of it and applying a practical example.  Let me explain....

I believe there is a need for an informative site  predominantly for the everyday woman who want to know more about her intimate desires but may be concerned with the idea that pornography is their only option. There IS a difference between erotica and pornography and hopefully by spending some time perusing this blog, it will become abundantly clear. 

It is 3:30 in the morning and (seriously) I just decided to create this site, a couple of hours ago. I did not have a plan on how I would structure it (don't worry, I will by tomorrow) but I knew that it had to be created.  Even though I am tired and I was suppose to close the laptop an hour ago and drag my snoring spouse off the couch and push him up the stairs, I decided to hover my hands over the keyboard and invoke the passion within to write a few lines.  So I thought ... "erotica.... erotica.... what does it mean to me right now?"  and then I began to type.

Reading back over what I have written just now, I see a combination of romance, fantasy, passion, desire and longing.  Interesting, methinks....  is this what erotica means to me?  We shall see.  Sweet dreams - I'm off to bed.
