subject: Erotic Stories, Really Erotic Stories, Can Bring Piece Of Mind [print this page] No, this is not a "Confucius says" and there is little or no pun intended. Erotic stories are a really powerful aphrodisiac for many people, creating mental scenarios which can either assist a lone individual in pursuit of an intense autoerotic experience or enhance the imagination of a couple, causing a more fulfilling sexual occurrence than might otherwise have been the case, as a result of some light reading before or during the foreplay. Curiously, the same inhibitions which make sexual contact awkward and tentative for many couples could easily be set aside if they allowed themselves the experience of reading aloud to one another from some torrid erotic stories.
Unfortunately, due to the already active inhibitions present when the urge for sexual contact arises it is often threatening to one member of the couple or the other to think about any kind of an "assist" in getting started. Therefore, sadly, the greater the need there may be for sexual encouragement the more likely it is that the inhibitions present will prevent the use of erotic stories, or such ideas as shared fantasies, from easing the couple's way forward.
Sexual inhibitions are primarily subconscious leanings which are developed over the years as we grow up and we grapple with such things as religious indoctrination, social observation and our perception of the sexual experiences and comfort level with intimacy from the people around us. With more and more children every year being raised in single parent homes and 50 plus percent of all marriages ending in divorce the number of children who are brought up in a continually positive and loving environment is less and less year after year.
Further, our society's retention of ridiculous puritanical leanings, the routine misconceptions throughout society concerning normal sexual relationships, the hiding and secrecy considered necessary by parents regarding normal sex all lend themselves to reinforcing sexual inhibitions. Additionally, we see the lack of logical and open sexual instruction both at home and in the schools, plus the hiding of erotic stories, and erotic photography which, when inevitably found by children, reinforces in their young minds the necessity for secrecy regarding sexual contact of any kind. Then, add the inability of parents to address the issue of masturbation successfully when that occurs, as it routinely does, and it is quite easy to understand the dysfunctional sexual relationships and ongoing inhibitions concerning sex in our tortured families within our hapless society.
Obviously, we kind of went off on a rant here, as Dennis Miller often does in his looks at our society, and just as obviously, there is no way that access to more erotic stories can save us from the likelihood of dealing with negative sexual inhibitions throughout our lives, especially if our childhood predisposes us toward them. Erotic stories are simply one way to attempt to combat a few of the misguided socio-sexual nonsequitors placed in the way of a normal sex life that we must deal with each and every day, until we outgrow or reason our way out of this puritanical, backward upbringing we all share to a greater or lesser degree.
