At one time, I wrote a lot of porn text, just for my own satisfaction. It was a little different from the erotic text commonly found in fiction these days: detailed accounts of sex and lovemaking. Most authors who include these kinds of episodes in their stories would deny that it is porn; the difference is based on what the intention is: is it to excite and stimulate, or is it to underline the passion of two characters for each other?
In my case it started out being to excite and stimulate, initially just myself (that is, it was porn), but then morphed into romance, when I began to become interested in the characters other than as sexual puppets. One of the stories in which this happened is--believe it or not---the story of Helen. It was initially redolent (diffused, drenched, saturated) with descriptions of sex, where Helen persuades beautiful girls into being intimate with her. Helen and Leila, for instance, would have sex with each other everywhere, especially in strange and dangerous places. But I took all the sex out when I sanitized the story, once I decided to publish it.
I just took a look at the sales figures (or rather, the statistics of which stories have been downloaded, so it's silly to call it sales, because the stories are free) and once again noted that it is the stories with purple passages that are being downloaded. I dearly wish I had some of those pornographic stories for you guys to have, but now I have become respectable, and I have standards to maintain!
I'm tempted to write some stories under (a new) pen name, and upload them. Once I think of a good pen name, I will tell you!
