I agree with most of the posts regarding erotic romance having a more developed story line, characters with depth, believable dialogue, and of course the requisite steamy sex scenes. Erotica, on the other hand, is more about the sex and not the romance. I find the language in erotica to be more coarse and the descriptions of the sexual acts more detailed. I enjoy reading both and dabble in the writing of erotic short stories. Most main stream authors that are discussed in the romance and erotic fiction forum do not reach the level of erotica. Also, erotica may delve into more fringe and fetish aspects of sexuality than erotic fiction.malime6 wrote:I am reading Dare to be Dirty by Savanna Fox and in the book the female characters had a brief discussion on a possible difference between the two. I always thought that they were the same.
So, is there a difference between erotica and erotic romance?

I agree. if the book has to much I skip pages to get by itjonre+ wrote:I want a lot of romance in with the erotica. I want plots, suspense and maybe even a fight or two. Too much erotica can be a little boring.

Erotic romance has some fun sex scenes that to me are written in a way that leave more to the imagination and are not as detailed as the romantic scenes are. ( i.e. Reapers MC Series by Joanna Wylde)
