erotic literature
Erotic literature is a literary genre in which the texts are related, directly or
indirectly, to eroticism and sex . Sometimes it can also be referred to as
pornographic literature if the sexual scenes are really very explicit, although it is
normally still considered within eroticism. 1
Pornography is the pure and simple description of carnal pleasures;

eroticism is the same description revalued, based on an idea of love or
social life. Everything that is erotic is necessarily pornographic in
addition. It is much more important to distinguish between the erotic
and the obscene. In this case, eroticism is considered to be everything
that makes the flesh desirable, shows it in its splendor or flowering,
inspires an impression of health, beauty, and pleasurable play; while
obscenity devalues the flesh, which is thus associated with dirt,
imperfections, scatological jokes, dirty words.

Within this genre you can usually find fiction novels with erotic content, short stories or short stories, poetry , plays ,
memoirs and sex manuals.

Eroticism and sex have been associated with society and human culture since the beginning of time, and the case of literature
is no exception, although it has often been subjected to censorship for being considered a reprehensible subject. or sinful.
Likewise, allusions to sex or erotic passages included within larger works are also frequent, not as the main theme of the
work, but as isolated chapters that contribute to the development of the narrative or the development of characters. Thus, for
example, it is possible to find clearly erotic fragments in works such as https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuijoteCervantes '
Don Quixote or James Joyce 's Ulysseshttps://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Joyce , without these works being considered
within the genre. 3. 4
Literary eroticism in antiquity

Already in Ancient Egypt , treatises about sex were written, sometimes mere
5
compilations of sexual positions, as for example in the Turin papyrus , where the
variants of the love act are detailed. Although little is preserved from the time, some
fragments have been saved, such as in the Leide papyrus , where the "making of an
image of love" is proposed. 6
Ancient literature relating to eroticism is mainly characterized by the union between

the divine and the earthly. Allusions to the gods and cults of fertility and the phallus are
frequent. The works are usually framed in manuals of sexual positions, poetry and plays.
Apart from dealing with heterosexuality , references to oral sex and lesbianism are also
Erotic Stories, stories and
frequent. The hetairas , women who elevate the practice of love to the category of art, were
erotic literature
the authors of treatises on these practices, including the treatises of Artyanassa, Helen 's
7
old servant, of Philenis of Samos and those of Elefantis. Not infrequently, literary eroticism is associated with comedy or
associated with satire and social criticism .
The first writings of erotic literature date back to Ancient Greece , around 400 BC. C., when the playwright Aristophanes
wrote the play Lysistrata . From around the year 300 BC. C. dates back to the obscene satirical poems of Sotades , which
landed him in prison for his criticism of Ptolemy 's union with his sister Arsinoe . For a time, erotic literature itself was even
identified as sotádic literature. 1 Around the second century BC. C. Luciano is credited with writing the oldest pornographic
book, The Dialogues of the Courtesans . It is Luciano, precisely, who first uses the term lesbianism to define female
homosexuality.
Ancient Rome is also rich in this literary genre, cultivated between the 2nd century BC. C and early 1st century . The
Priapeians or Priapeya, a series of poems about the god Priapus, belong to this era. Apart from the approaches to the genre by
authors such as Marcial , Juvenal , Plautus , Catullus 8 and Horace , it is worth highlighting The Art of Loving , by Ovid , The
Satyricon , 9 by Petronio and The Golden Ass , by Apuleius , as the most relevant works of The time. 10
In Ancient China , during the Han period (around 200 BC). C.) various didactic manuals on sexual practice circulated,
following the literary formula of the dialogue between an Emperor and his precepts or sexual teachers. 1
In the 4th century , the Kamasutra , the most famous and universal of sexuality manuals, appeared in
Indiahttps://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%c4%81ma_s%c5%abtra . Written by Mal-la Naga Vatsiaiana as a religious text
addressed to the people, the work is a compendium of techniques and advice in the lovemaking arts, ranging from the most
subtle eroticism and sensuality to a detailed and graphic description of sexual positions for the act of copulation . 11 9
Coming from the Muslim Middle East is the medieval work One Thousand and One Nights , from the 9th century , which
deals with the theme of infidelity . 12 Also of Muslim origin is The Perfumed Garden , by Cheik Nefzaoui , a manual in the style
of the Kama Sutra . 6 A second manual emerged in India approximately around the 15th or 16th century, the Ananga Ranga ,
by
Kalyana Malla , with a series of tips to avoid monotony in marriage and prevent
separation between man and woman. 9
The Middle Ages and the Renaissance

The Middle Ages were a difficult time for eroticism and sexuality in general, and
literature was also influenced by that fact. In the 12th century , the ideal of courtly
13
love emerged , based on a helpful and selfless love that idealized the beloved
woman. Some works included within this style are Lancelot by Chrétien de Troyes ,
Tristan and Isolde by Gottfried von Strassburg , the Roman de la Rose by
Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun and Vita nuova and the Divine Comedy by
Dante Alighieri . 6
Erotic literature gained some importance in Italy with the arrival of the
Renaissance .Giovanni Boccaccio was the author of the Decameron (1353), a work
that narrated the exploits of monks seducing nuns in convents. The book was
banned in many countries. Even five centuries later, various copies of the text were
destroyed in countries such as the United States or England; Between 1954 and The Sultan sparing the life of
1958, English magistrates issued eight orders for the book's destruction. 14
Another Scheherazade , The Arabian
Nights
important Italian work of the 15th century was Facetiae or Facecias by Gian
Francesco Poggio Bracciolini , a collection of short stories where the arguments around lust are major protagonists.Girolamo
Morloni portrayed the sexual mores of Naples in Novellae (1520) and Pietro Armino captivated readers with comedies and
lustful sonnets and the work Reasoning , in which he accounts for the perversions of the time. Still in Italy, the figure of
Antonio Beccadelli , whose most famous work, Hermaphroditus (1425) evoked the eroticism of the work of Catullus and
Martial , as well as the Priapeans . This work did not escape Christian censorship either due to its obscenity. Other examples
from the period within the same genre are the erotic poems of Eustache Deschamps , the book De amore by Andreas
Capellanus , and the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer . 1
In France, the influence of erotic literature also began to be noticed in the figure of Antoine de la Sale , to whom the works Le
Petit Jehan de Saintré (1456) belong, in which a widowed woman indoctrinates a young knight in all the arts. of religion,
courtesy and chivalry, without leaving aside seduction and love, and Les Quinze Joyes de mariage (The fifteen jokes of
marriage), where with vivid and natural language he describes the miseries of marriage .
An attempt to print erotic material caused a scandal when Italians Pietro Aretino and Marcantonio Raimondi produced I
Modi in 1524, an illustrated book with 16 sexual positions. Raimondi had already published it once before, and was
subsequently imprisoned by Pope Clement VII , destroying all copies of the illustrations. Raimondi based the engravings on a
series of erotic paintings that Giulio Romano was commissioning for the Palazzo del Te in Mantua . Although the two
depictions were very similar, only Raimondi was prosecuted because his engravings could be seen by the public. Romano did
not know about these engravings until Aretino went to see the original paintings while Romano was working on them.
Aretino then composed sixteen explicit sonnets ("both in your rabbit and in your butt, my cock will make me happy, and you
15 16
happy and content") to accompany the paintings and ensure Raimondi's release. I Modi was then published for the
second time, with the poems and illustrations, being the first time that erotic texts and images were combined, although the
Pope again requisitioned all the copies he could find. Raimondi avoided prison this time, but the censorship was so effective
that no copy
original has never been found. The preserved text is only a copy of a copy that was discovered 400 years later. 15 16 Among
Aretino's disciples you can find Lorenzo Veniero , author of La puttana errante , and Nicollo Franco , author of La priapea ,
where he mocks the master's sexual habits.
In the Iberian Peninsula we can highlight the Cantigas de scorn and bad saying , 1 in Galician Portuguese and the Book of
good love of the Archpriest of Hita , 17 18 where the author narrates the events of his love life during the Late Middle Ages .
A little further on, immersed in the Spanish Golden Age , we can cite the works of La Celestina , where the events of a pimp
17
are told, and La lozana andaluza by Francisco Delicado , where the world of prostitution in Rome is described.
Renaissance. However, many writers dedicated some verses to eroticism and sexuality despite the prevailing puritanism of
the time, such as Quevedo or Góngora , although they are generally more isolated contributions than central plots. 19
16th and 17th centuries, erotic liberation

During the 16th century , the medieval heritage will be noted in one of the richest literatures in Europe, the French
literature, knowing masterpieces of the genre such as Pantagruel (1532) and La Vie très Horrificque du Grand Gargantua
(1534), by Rabelais , writings that parody the excesses of sensual love and debauchery. 1 In this same context, the group of
poets known as La Pléiade also addresses love poetry of a libidinous nature. The work Sonnets pour Hélène , from 1578,
stands out, where Pierre de Ronsard deals with the theme of the forbidden love of an elderly man for a young maiden. 1
Inspired by Boccaccio's Decameron , Margaret of Navarre wrote the Heptameron (1558), a collection of 72 short stories
dealing with the themes of love, lust, infidelity and other romantic and sexual matters.
In the 17th century, numerous examples of pornographic or erotic literature began to circulate, printed mainly in
Amsterdam and smuggled to other European countries. These include L'Ecole des Filles , a French work printed in 1655
that is considered among the beginnings of French pornography. It consists of an illustrated dialogue between two women,
a 16-year-old girl and her more worldly cousin, and their explicit discussions about sex. The author remains anonymous to
this day, although some suspects suffered prison sentences for the alleged
authorship of the work. twenty
The idea of Don Juan dates back to the same century, a seductive and daring male
character who never finds full satisfaction in his conquests, which is why he
embarks again and again on the task of seduction, renouncing love.
Giovanni Benedicti Sinibaldi made one of the first forays into the roots of
sexology , with his work Geneanthropeia (1669), with more intentions than rigor.
In France, the figure of Pierre de Brantôme stands out, who presented characters
immersed in the most absolute immorality according to the canons of society.
Their manuscripts do not lack explicit and extensive descriptions of private parts,
as well as allusions to promiscuity, lesbianism, cunnilingus and even
sadomasochism . Among his works, probably the most obscene is the Lives of
Gallant Women .
Illustration of the work Fanny Hill,

also known as Memoirs of a Woman
of Pleasure.
In England, the playwright John Ford made a controversial foray into incest with his play ' Tis Pity She's a Whore , both
for the main plot and for the way in which the protagonist is treated, never condemning his actions. On the other hand is
the work Sodom, or the quintessence of debauchery , attributed to John Wilmot Rochester , although it is not known
exactly who the author is. The plot revolves around a king's sexual preference for sodomy , which could be interpreted
within the context of the time as a satire against King Charles II of England's permissiveness towards Catholicism during
his reign. 6
The Enlightenment, reaffirmation of literary pornography

During the Enlightenment , many of the French freethinkers began to exploit
pornography as a means of social criticism and satire. Libertine pornography
was subversive social commentary often directed against the Catholic Church
and general attitudes of sexual repression . The market for these cheap, mass-
produced pamphlets soon became the bourgeoisie , causing the upper classes to
worry, as in England, that the morals of the lower classes and the feeble-
minded would be corrupted, as women, slaves and illiterate They were seen as
especially vulnerable during that time.
The stories and illustrations (sold in the galleries of the Palais Royal , along
with the services of prostitutes) were often anti-clerical, full of unseemly
priests, monks and nuns, a tradition that continued in France into the 20th
century . In the period leading up to the French Revolution , pornography was
also used as political commentary: Marie Antoinette was often the object of
fantasies involving orgies , lesbian activities, and the paternity of her children,
and rumors circulated about Louis ' supposed sexual insufficiency. XVI . 20 21
The English response to this was

Illustration of Theresa, the Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (later abridged and retitled Fanny Hill )
philosopher. written in 1748 by John Cleland . Although the text satirized the literary
conventions and customs fashionable in 18th-century England, it was most scandalous for portraying a woman, the
narrator, enjoying and even delighting in sexual acts without serious physical or moral consequences. The text is barely
explicit, as Cleland wrote the entire book using euphemisms for sexual acts and body parts, using up to 50 different ones
just to refer to the penis . Two small earthquakes were attributed to the book by the Bishop of London and Cleland was
arrested and briefly imprisoned, but Fanny Hill continued to be published and is one of the most reprinted books in the
English language. However, it was not legal to own a copy in the United States until 1964 and in the United Kingdom until
1970. 22
As happens with criticism and satire of the government, sometimes eroticism also merges with philosophy , as
demonstrated by the work Teresa, Philosopher , attributed to the Marquis d'Argens , where passages loaded with eroticism
and provocation are interspersed with lessons. about philosophy. Framed within what could be called a pornographic
novel, it was one of the most widespread works of its time in France. 23
A recurring theme with the arrival of enlightened debauchery is that of orgies. Andréa de Nerciat stood out in this aspect
with the related works The Aphrodites and The Devil in the Body . An important fact about De Nerciat's work is the lack of
ideological and political pretensions, being stories of pure entertainment and passion. This trend will be followed in the
coming years. The era was also the cradle of numerous fetishes or deviations
sexual. Nicolas Edme Restif de la Bretonne , for example, among his works
fetishism about feet or shoes appears, and the Count of Mirabeau once again
explored the theme of the sexual initiation of young girls in The Lifted Curtain or
Laura's Education .
During and after the French Revolution, the famous works of the Marquis de Sade
were printed, which were often accompanied by illustrations and served as political
24
or philosophical commentary for their author. However, the Marquis marked a
milestone in the history of erotic literature and is mainly known for his works in the
genre. Openly libertine, his opposition to all laws and his particular vision of the
world earned him some years in prison. Precisely during his stay in La Bastille , he
began to write what is one of his most important works, The 120 Days of Sodom , 25
where he narrates how four wealthy people locked up in a castle decide to put into
practice, abusing their situation, the most heard depraved acts, frequently linked to
exacerbated violence. Not in vain, sadism inherits its name from the Marquis'
surname. Another brilliant work by the Marquis is Justine , where he narrates the
life of two orphan sisters who choose two very different paths, one embracing
25
religious worship and the other given over to vice and perversion. Sade's works
also contributed in a certain way to the transformation of the genre, moving from
criticism of the political class to criticism of society in general.

of the work Justine, by the
Marquis de Sade, around 1800.
19th century, English Puritanism and the heyday of eroticism in
Central Europe
Towards the 19th century, a new movement emerged, Romanticism , which idealized pain and psychological suffering, as well
as passionate love. This new current often grappled with the borders between what was permissible and what was prohibited,
even without reaching the obscenity of previous times. Gustave Flaubert , for Madame Bovary , and Charles Baudelaire , for
1
The Flowers of Evil , were put on trial. Less controversial were other classic works of the period, such as Wuthering
Heights , Jane Eyre or Anna Karenina . This specific subgenre will end up leading to what will be known as the pink novel . 26
In the Victorian era in England , at the same time, erotic texts with a characteristic relationship between master and servant
gained strength. In his literature it is reflected in works such as Venus, a school teacher, or the flagellation games , by George
Cannon or The Meny Order of St. Bridget , by James Bertram . However, the works were more commonly anonymous and of
uncertain date, with cases such as The Lustful Turk (1828), The Way of a Man with a Maid , A Weekend Visit , The Romance
of Lust (1873), The Autobiography of a Flea (1887), Beatrice , Venus in India (1889), Raped on the Railway: A True Story of
a Lady who was first ravished and then flagellated on the Scotch Express (1894), Flossie, A Venus of Fifteen: By one who
knew this Charming Goddess and worshiped at her shrine (1897) and My Lustful Adventures .
But wilder erotic literature also continued into the 19th century. The Austrian author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch made a
place for himself in history in equal parts due to the scandal and the success generated in France by his work The Venus in
Furs (1870), in which he laid the foundations for what he later It will end up being known as masochism , in honor of his own
last name, consisting of being whipped, being tied up and being humiliated by one's partner. Authors who followed in her
wake are Richard Brohmek and Fedor Essée , always with the woman seen from a dominant and cruel distant point, with the
figure of the dominated and submissive man.
At the end of the century, the name of the playwright Arthur Schnitzler emerged, who proclaimed during several of his
works the supremacy of the sexual instinct over social conventions. His most controversial work was La ronda , a cycle of
ten one-act dramatic pieces, each made up of a couple of lovers, in such a way that one of the members of the couple
repeats in two consecutive scenes, in a kind of dance. of sexual pairings. At the beginning of the 20th century , more than
40,000 copies were sold in Germany , before the work was banned. Attempts to represent it were also the target of
censorship and prohibitions. Another erotic novel of great importance in Germany was Josephine Mutzenbacher ,
considered a pornographic classic. Published anonymously, its creation is attributed to Felix Salten . The story is told from
the point of view of a 50-year-old Viennese prostitute, who recalls her sexual escapades between the ages of 5 and 12. The
book touches on almost all possible taboos related to sex, such as child prostitution , incest, homosexuality, rape or orgies.
Anecdotally, Felix Salten is the author of the children's classic Bambi .
20th century and today

English DH Lawrence is the author of one of the most controversial
books of the first half of the 20th century, Lady Chatterley 's Lover
(1928), which tells of a woman's descent into adultery with a
servant during the absence of her husband, stationed in the First
World War . The work describes in detail the sexual relations of the
lovers, which symbolize and glorify the strength of love, which does
not understand classist social barriers. Likewise, the work has also
been studied as an anti- feminist text, as a praise to the triumph of
the phallus . 1
In Spain, a famous and successful writer of erotic novels was “El

Caballero Audaz” . He appeared linked to a trend of erotic novels at
the beginning of the century and achieved million-dollar
circulations during his lifetime, to the point that, almost a hundred years later, there is no problem finding copies on the
used book market.
Another controversial author from the beginning of the century is Henry Miller , with his works Tropic of Cancer (1934)
and Tropic of Capricorn (1938), banned in multiple countries. 27 Miller elevates pornography (understood from its original
Greek meaning , as the relationship with prostitutes), describing it as a new religion. Emmanuelle Arsan , author of
Emmanuelle , and Dominique Aury , author of History of O , also emphasize the same praise of the world of prostitution . 1
Georges Bataille , with the book entitled The History of the Eye (1928), published under a pseudonym , explored the
sensations and sexual relations between two adolescents with an exhibitionist tendency. During the play, aspects such as
death or madness are faced, always related to the sexual futures of the protagonist couple. Group sex , the eroticism of
fluids or the union between religion and sex are other topics discussed in the work. An important feature of the book is that
it included several explicit illustrations. 28
Anaïs Nin was one of the first representatives of women's erotic literature. Known for her diaries, which detail her life from
the age of 12, Nin has touched on a multitude of erotic themes in her works, such as incest, voyeurism and lesbianism.
Vladimir Nabokov is mainly known for being the author of Lolita (1955), a work that dealt with the thorny issue of the
relationship between a young underage girl and a mature man, obsessed with nymphets (sexually desirable girls between 9
27
and 14 years old). ). The work, deemed pornographic when it was published in France, was adapted to film by Stanley
Kubrick in 1962 and later by Adrian Lyne in 1997 . However, the impact of the novel on society was enormous, having
transcended the title of the book, being considered a term linked to pedophilia .
Other significant authors of the 20th century are Guillaume Apollinaire , Louis Aragon , Jean Genet , known for his
writings on homosexuality, Pierre Louÿs , author of the parody Handbook of Urbanity for Girls , the surrealist poet Joyce
Mansour , Mario Vargas Llosa , with Travesuras de la bad girl , with a synopsis similar to Cinderella , or J. g. Ballard ,
author of Crash (1973), a novel that addresses the relationship between sexual desire and cars, adapted to film in 1996 by
David Cronenberg .
One of the key works of erotic literature of the second half of the 20th century is, without a doubt, History of O. Published
under the pseudonym Pauline Réage , the work was conceived as a series of love letters to her lover Jean Paulhan , an
admirer of the Marquis de Sade 's work. It is a story of absolute submission, where the protagonist is initiated into the
sexual arts as a slave, always available for sexual relations of all kinds. Set in the BDSM world, several terms of it come
from the book, such as Samois . 29
At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, erotic books narrated as female autobiography gained a
27
certain fame. The ages of Lulú , by Almudena Grandes , the controversial One Hundred Brushes Before Sleeping , by
30
Melissa Panarello , which deals with extreme sexuality during adolescence , or Diary of a Nymphomaniac (2003), by
Valérie Tasso , are some examples of this. . In recent decades, the most notable erotic novel has undoubtedly been the
"Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy, written by EL James.
Erotic literature and the Internet

The arrival of new technologies has also led to an increase in the activity of erotic literature, as in other eroticized
manifestations such as photography or cinema . On the Internet it is easy to find
websites where erotic stories written by users are collected, of varying quality and
duration. Anonymity facilitates the writing and dissemination of texts that could
be inspired by reality or that simply satisfy the imagination and creativity of the
narrator. In general, these are short writings with strong sexual content, very
explicit, although there is no predetermined norm or trend. Prohibited or socially
disapproved themes abound, with texts relating to different philias and
arguments immersed in activities such as sex with minors , incest or
sadomasochism .
Erotic literature is also widely found in fanfiction where it is popularly known as

lemon .
