I've only read a few, critique some for friends that write erotica. Of those I have read, I've seen some good stories--take out the sex and the stories are still well written and entertaining.
The point of erotica is sex and explicit sex in the storyline.
Today, Over Coffee is hosting some of the Ravenous Romance writers. They've titled this tour, The Onery Eleven.
Neve Black is the featured author of today's tour although you'll see a bit from all of the Eleven. Neve discusses why she enjoys writing erotica:

I mostly enjoys writing about subjects that scratch the under-belly of society; thus my love of erotic literature. I take pleasure in taking a voyeuristic approach to writing, because I think the most delicious story telling happens when no one thinks anyone else is looking.
My novel, Sex through the Zodiac was published with Ravenous Romance in January, 2009. You can also read my erotic work in the on-line magazine Oysters and Chocolate, and various erotic anthologies: Swing, Erotic Stories of Every Flavor, Ambrosia, Men in Shorts, and Sex and Shoes.
I'm currently working on writing a screenplay. I'm also writing short stories for various editors’ calls for submissions.
What’s your perfect environment for writing and do you have a process you follow each time you write?

Damn! There goes the alarm clock. It’s time to wake up. Haha. I prefer a very quiet work environment. I always write from a blank screen and formulate a story, which has been spawned from a conversation, an idea, or a simple thought. I do however carry a pad of paper and pen wherever I go, and my notes are words only I can read - so badly chicken scratched. This is probably why I tend to edit my stories no less than 763 times.





I must have peace and quiet, and I absolutely must have a beverage within reach—preferably mocha, but invariably I drink a margarita for the final chapter of any given work.

From the novel, Sex Through The Zodiac
“…It wasn’t as if I had to start my New Year’s resolution plan that very moment, but opportunity was knocking at my door, or the door of my cervix, three times and I knew I had to strike while the planets were hot. I mentally assessed the situation of all three men; taking into account their zodiac signs and decided these three signs probably wouldn’t go for a ménage a quattro. I would just have to have one on one sex with each of them. Oh darn.
“…It wasn’t as if I had to start my New Year’s resolution plan that very moment, but opportunity was knocking at my door, or the door of my cervix, three times and I knew I had to strike while the planets were hot. I mentally assessed the situation of all three men; taking into account their zodiac signs and decided these three signs probably wouldn’t go for a ménage a quattro. I would just have to have one on one sex with each of them. Oh darn.
I knew I had to move quickly and seize the moment. I knew conservative Capricorn Eric would never go for meeting me under the table for an oral conference, or Ben the Cancer probably wouldn’t appreciate that approach either, because of his romantic nature. I could, however, convince Scott, the cavalier Aries to meet me in the bathroom for a quickie.
I stood up and all six pairs of eyes watched me; they were a captive audience. I walked over to Scott and whispered in his ear to meet me in the bathroom. He nodded attentively and I felt the fiery pulse of heat running through his veins. He felt like he’d won. He stood up from his chair; said his goodbyes and headed toward the bathrooms. I knew I’d soon benefit from his hardened cock, fed by his ego.
Next, I moved toward Eric, careful not to display too much public attention, as I bent forward and whispered how much I’d like to meet him sometime this week for a follow-up drink and maybe a chat about my stock portfolio. I slipped him my business card. He beamed with enthusiasm; he scooted his chair back, stood up and called it a night. I had a feeling that once he and I were locked behind closed doors, that social climbing goat will be climbing Orgasm Mountain with me.
Lastly, I sat next to Ben. Gently touching his large hands with mine, I opened his palms, and scribbled my cell number in the middle of his left palm. I told him I thought sharing a romantic candlelight dinner with a bottle of wine while engaging in conversation was in our near future. He blushed in embarrassment, but smiled because he confessed that’s exactly what he was thinking. “I know.” I thought to myself and smiled into his dreamy, sensitive and ready to please me eyes….”
