The point is simple (at least IMHO): I enjoy a lot looking at the gals, and
the WHOLE of them ^_- but I'd rather avoid seeing anything of the GUYS, I
really don't believe it's very interesting...

Oh yeah... "erotic fiction"...
Usually horrible.
The trick is: to make a good erotic story, you should write one which is
BOTH an EROTIC and a ROMANTIC story. "Erotism" over plain pornography can
be achieved by giving characters FEELINGS, not just bodyparts to deal with.
Or: "It is not merely to reach the climax which is important. It is the
path which leads you to that to give you the most of the pleasure. If you
don't agree, happy masturbation then!"

I had some plans for a couple of erotic short stories, but currently lack
the time for dealing with that... Maybe sometimes in the future (any
Italian-to-English translator available, BTW?)...

Lady Urd would approve this topic! ^_-)
