erotica

"My name is Dita. I'll be your mistress tonight."

That song always makes me HOT. I was listening to Madonna Esther's album "Erotica" tonight, and I thought to myself that this culture is really too over-porned. There's too much porn these days and not enough erotica.

Gloria Leonard said, "The difference between pornography and erotica is lighting." While that is true to a degree, I have to mostly disagree. Pornography is fucking and fucking alone, no plot, nothing really sensual about it. Whereas erotica ... well, all your senses are involved, there's much more suspense, and it's just a lot more sexy.

Porn is meatloaf; erotica is crème brûlée.
