Erotic writing is turning into a widespread phenomenon. Once discretely murmured about between the bed sheets and hidden behind the racks at your magazine store, it's now available on the web in the forms of blogs and websites. Here are some fun and experimental sites that give you a glimpse into the culture and content of erotic writing.

Suicide Girls
suicidegirls.com
This site has a paid membership fee, and features nude young women, a message board to converse with the girls and opportunity to share photos. There's also talk of erotica and sex that is intelligent and stimulating. Those who appreciate tattoos, body piercings and fetish culture may find this site appealing.

You don't have to put up nude photos of yourself, but there are opportunities to be featured on the website if you apply. Some young women who join have been featured on the SG website, hosted events, been in music videos or been paid to feature in various tattoo or body piercing magazines.

Space and Motion

This website is run by two philosophers, Karene Howie and her partner, Geoff Haselhurst. A very simple, straightforward video explains how philosophy is helpful in a healthy sexual relationship. Howie's site is designed to educate people on finding a nourishing sexual relationship with your partner: one that is free from hurting others or breaking the law, but also smutty, invigorating and most of all, wonderful. The site also features erotic photography and stories, and also details the philosophy of science, physics and mathematics.
