What is the best erotic literature that has some actual substance and that does not ressemble a shopping list of sex? i.e. that it has a good plot, good prose and nice descriptions, instead of just running from one sex scene to the other.

Fanny Hill

I'm led to believe Salammbo is like this

Venus in Furs

Story of O. Bwetty good.

GR

These are my favourite series of classic erotica.

>no mention of Nabokov

Why would there be? Nabokov doesn't write erotica. Anais Nin, sure, but Lolita and Ada, etc., are no more "erotica" than any other novel with a sex scene or two.

Why of course, it's Chuck Tingle!

A Sport and a Pastime

>Susan Aked
>Susa N aked

Book of the New Sun :-)

Camus

Which book?

Anais Nin is the only really "highbrow" smut I've read. I usually just browse whatevers on literotica if I'm looking for lit porn 2bh

Jean Genet

Each of Michel Houellebecq's genius novels contain pornographic sex scenes to boot. Get on it.

>pornographic
>erotism

Try some Restif de La Bretonne

Seconding Anais Nin. Little Birds is pretty solid as far as erotica goes.

fun fact: erotica is only good if it has a female lead and a dominant (or even violent) male love interest.

Story of the Ey.

Patrish as fuck

Summer in Algiers and the first half of The Stranger.

Its alot about enjoying life's immediate pleasures, such as the beach, hot women and sex, fast cars, etc. That can be erotic in a sense.

so give examples

I only really read erotica when I was a teenager so unless you're a teen girl I'm not sure what I could recommend would be good for you
