Hey folks! Jamaica Layne here. I've been meaning to launch an exclusive Jamaica Layne blog for a while, but life just kept getting in the way. Between writing deadlines, housework, the recession, and a grumpy sick toddler with the Incurable Diaper Rash from Hell, I'm about a week behind getting this blog launched.
This week I'll be giving away lots of free books to my new blog readers. To be eligible for a free copy of one of my books, I'll be posting reader questions every other day this week. Readers can post their answers in the "Comments" section. I'll select a winner from each day's comments to receive a free book.
Here's today's question. The winner will receive a free copy of my current print novel, MARKET FOR LOVE (which I'll be signing on Thursday of this week at 12 noon at the downtown Chicago Books-A-Million, located on the corner of Adams and Clark).
Why do you read erotica? Are you more interested in a quick-and-dirty Erica Jong-style "zipless f*ck" or do you also look for a more complex storyline?
Looking forward to your answers!

Please don't enter me in the contest as I already have a copy of the book. I just want to answer the question LOL.
ReplyDeleteI prefer an erotic romance to just a random encounter. I'm not a prude, so the sex can be as dirty and forbidden as possible, as long as it's between people who really care for each other. That connection just makes it more intense, imho.
I read erotica not so much for the encounters as I do for the pychology behind the encounters. I feel people are higher order mammals and some erotic situations go deeper than simply attraction. I like to figure out the need within that pushes the charecters forward through the writing.
ReplyDeleteI find very little enjoyment in a story that is pure sex. I much prefer to see some attraction or emotion between the characters that is not just sexual, and following the course of a relationship that becomes sexual is very enjoyable, as long as the author makes that progression believable and exciting.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely not a fan of the current trend of having a book be predominantly sex that feels mechanical. Even if the characters are just f*cking, an emotional bond between them turns sex into so much more.
