Sexologist Alexa Andre (@sexwithalexa) gets in bed with Carly, founder of Read Aurore, to talk about why written erotica is becoming one of the most powerful tools for pleasure, communication and self-discovery. Together they explore how true erotic stories differ from fantasy, why women are increasingly choosing erotica over visual porn, the psychology behind imagination and desire, how writing about sex can help process emotions and improve communication, and how reading erotica can inspire better sex and stronger relationships.Topics discussed:Carly's path to creating Aurora EroticaInterviewing strangers about sexDating in Europe vs New YorkVacation confidence and sexual freedomWhy true stories are hotter than fantasyTurning real experiences into eroticaWriting as emotional processingFirst-time sex that is actually goodWhy men should read eroticaWomen's real sexual desiresAffairs and taboo fantasiesOpen relationships vs secret affairHow Aurore selects submissionsWriting as therapyRewriting difficult experiencesSmut vs eroticaRomance vs eroticaThe decline in Gen Z sexual activityBenefits of reading eroticaBenefits of writing eroticaReliving pleasurable experiencesReading erotica together as foreplayFollow Carly:Instagram: @readauroreWebsite: readaurore.comFollow Alexa Andre:Instagram: @sexwithalexaPatreon: https://patreon.com/sexwithalexaSponsor:Thank you, Beducated, for making this exploration possible.
