I like reading erotica as inspiration for my own stories. Despite being a man, I am fascinated by and prefer stories from the woman's point of view.

While I'm generally happy being a straight man, part of me wishes I could experience life and sex as a woman: to be that strong, sexy, confident, seductress bombshell on one hand; but also that submissive, innocent, vulnerable, frilly "girly girl" on the other. I want to experience all aspects of womanhood and the nuances and insecurities and fun that naturally go along with them. I read and write erotica from a woman's perspective as a way of exploring that part of myself (so please forgive me if my stories sound like the inept "men writing women" stereotype). I appreciate stories that really explore a woman's mind and psychology from the inside, and go into physical and mental details that a man wouldn't usually know about.
