Over the New Age Erotic Literature

The 1990s featured the erotic movies based on erotic novels that most likely serve as motivation for many young writers. Today, there is a significant amount of literature that accounts for a larger percent of fiction at booksellers like Barnes & Noble and Borders. The novels and related movies like Basic Instinct, Diabolique, and Single White Female greatly motivated the young in content to either complete long novels or to bundle a good number of short stories. Those movies and novels depicted the lesbian abnormality in the American literature. Critics called it an abnormality rather than an aberration because they were a driver of crime, in each scenario presented. Like any other aberration, whether voyeurism, fetichism, etc, the aberration of women having sex with other women has been historic, and much earlier than the Aristotelian days in Lesbos. When I saw the premier of Basic Instinct, the crowd packed the historic Bellevue theatre in Upper Montclair, New Jersey. Surprisingly, special interest groups were amused with some of the erotic scenes. The abnormality was featured by acts of violence, presented as the result of anger and aggressive pulsations. My greatest concern in the issue are not really literary. Most importantly, population, socio-demographic, and urban geography studies have shown that for every five young lesbian couples about nine young men go into loneliness and extreme promiscuity lifestyles or are the subject of abusive relations by older women. This is the main reason for conservative cultures and civilizations that oppose the lesbian lifestyle at the legal level. Also, the new age stories mostly ignore the relevance of AIDS in today’s world, and the fact that the World Health Organization has statistically proven a comparable rate to women who have sex with women to those who do have sex with men. Besides, in contrast with any romantic all-female encounters introduced, i.e., the sociologic and psychological normality scenario, and probably the consistently legal one, a great sample of the literature presents initiation rituals that involve assault, force, drug and alcohol usage, or dominance and sadomasoquism, in an effort to persuade the rather passive or subordinated party, and further violence can occurred upon rejection. In particular, some of the stories related occur in a college campus, and the incidents are never disclosed, even when extreme assault has occurred. Competing for a woman’s love with a man is also a leit motif in these stories.

In essence, the key comment in this article is to suggest that morbo in the new age erotic literature works rather as an endurance driver for young writers rather than a leit motif in many of the erotic series that followed those lengthy novels, the very Erotic series, Zane, and Sense and Sensuality are popular names and words in the fast growing genre.
