Reading for pleasure: How sex stories help women explore their sexuality

Despite its name, there’s always more to any well-written sex story than just the sex itself.

Looking for an electrifying way to turn yourself on? Watching porn can be the most obvious option, but it’s not really for everyone. This mainstream variety often tends to be sex stripped of plot or buildup— what if we’re craving more substance?

This is where the more sensual and imaginative sex story comes in.

What are sex stories anyway? At first glance, they seem to be self-explanatory: short, written narratives of thrilling sexual encounters. But despite its name, there’s more to it than just the sex itself. Written erotica knows well to go beyond the physical pleasure to reel you in with the right mood and intimacy.

It’s not nearly as explicit as porn, but that’s kind of the point. Without the visual cues, sex stories actively encourage you to be more imaginative, giving you the opportunity to seek, discover, and push the boundaries of your own sexuality.

Sex stories are not a new phenomenon. They've drawn inspiration from long-form novels and caused quite a stir in the literary community. Some of the best examples include Madame Bovary, which was released in 1827, and Lady Chatterley's Lover that followed suit a century later, in 1928.

So in this day and age, immersing yourself in a steamy read or two isn’t even as strange as you might think. In fact, one survey reveals that while more than 3 out of 4 men watch porn, 53% of women aren’t missing out with at least an occasional erotica read.

Sex educator and author Emily Nagoski says this has a lot to do with how our brains are wired for pleasure. Men are turned on by the visual stimulation that porn has to offer. On the other hand, women’s desires are more motivated by the emotional investment behind the act.

Harold Leitenberg of The Journal of Sex Research reports that women who love reading adult romance novels have 74% more sex than those who don’t.

"Sex is most satisfying for most women when you’re in a context that is low stress, high trust, high affection, and explicitly erotic," Nagoski adds.

Because of its rising trend of readership among women, it’s no wonder how page after page of sex stories are tailored for us and our unique sexual pleasures. But what exactly do women stand to gain from reading erotica?

Creating a safe space.. It’s all in your own head, which makes everything a lot more immersive and exhilarating. You can explore your own desires and live them through fictional characters— the only limit is your imagination. Consider the story as a script for your wandering mind.

Learning consent.. Reading sex stories can help you get a good grasp of what feels right for you and what does not. By being able to determine your boundaries, you’ll be able to become more sexually adventurous and make more informed choices. You’ll learn how consent is central to healthy sexual relationships.

Embracing your own body. Last but not the least, placing yourself in the shoes of the main character allows you to embrace and love your own body. Mainstream porn frequently pits you against the able-bodied and conventionally beautiful actresses on screen. Removing this pressure would enable you to perceive yourself as a worthy subject, and not just an object, of sexual pleasure.

There’s no doubt that sexual pleasure is one of the most misunderstood aspects of female empowerment. That’s why it can feel truly liberating to read into artful portrayals of sexual fantasies in the form of short stories.

They may be fictional accounts, but they certainly echo an undeniable truth about women: We all seek and deserve guilt-free satisfaction in our own way.
