When I was in high school and college, I used to read a lot of erotica on the internet mostly of the fanfic porn without plot variety. I hadn't read any in a long time but recently went searching for some outside fanfic (it now seems a little creepy to me) and 99.9% completely groses me out. Most of the sites I've found seem to be male dominated and are basically porno movies written down. If I wanted traditional porn type stories, I'd watch porn! Personally I find porn really unerotic, there isn't a real focus on female pleasure and a lot of the time the male lead seems to actively dislike the female lead. I don't need to read stories where the male lead gets a blow job from the little slut who need to be taught a lesson, they don't do it for me.

I don't know how someone who spectilizes in erotica could think men do it better.

People have said this crap before--about EVERY kind of women's writing. That's why we have George Eliot and George Sand and H.D. (Hilda Doolittle). Because no one would take them seriously if they knew they had vaginas. For Copstick to pretend that this is anything other than run of the mill discrimination is ridiculous.

O RLY? How's that then?

She doesn't know, does she? I wonder what she's read, or rather, hasn't read. I must say that most of that supposedly 'straightforward' erotica isn't particularly erotic to me. It's even worse in my language, which uses diminutives and in which erotic writers ALWAYS feel the need to put a diminutive on female bodyparts. NO.

Bish, don't act like you're the only one who can write about sex because you're the only woman who enjoys it. PLZ.

(yes, I'm aware I over comment in any post about sex. I'm working on it.)

On whose talents the magazine was pretty much built.

And of course these new ER owners will be quids in when the film of Pelling's time at the Review comes out - again, thanks to her talents.

I could say a lot more, but I think I won't. I think you get the jist of the situation from Copstick's article.

If women can't write about sex, then what's with them writing (and jerking it to) 99 percent of online fan fiction? Sure, much of it is embarrassing... so is most writing about sex.

Hey, Kate Copstick, how's this for writing about sex? Go eat a bag of dicks.

The "all women suck but me" is just a stupid strategy that some women use to get to men, it won't work in the long run, they will never respect you.

Doesn't it get so tiring being a woman since all of our opinions and actions are just for show?

I am also irrationally annoyed by this article.

Stfu Kate Copstick.

Also, I'm totally going to see Megan read at True Sex Confessions Night. NYC meet-up?
