Finding a studio with a library of well-produced, substantially narrative porn is great and all (no, really, it is!) But have you ever just read a sensuously written story? The kind of naughty words that roll out slowly and then build into a page-turning crescendo, leaving you wiggling in your desk chair and dying to find a more private room?
If you haven’t, then we implore you to keep reading to find out more about the best erotica for women available right here on the internet. In a world rife with fictional popular culture icons and conventions dedicated to the most obscure of fantasy worlds, the social value of escaping into fantasy worlds is hardly understated.
We commonly accept storytelling as a way to escape into a world of fantasy, but so many of us would never think to click our mouse and search for written erotica rather than visual… and we’re doing ourselves a disservice.
The best erotica for women online
1. The best ongoing queer erotica: Autostraddle’s S L I C K

Since 2011, Girl on the Net has served up a platter of erotica, true sex stories, hidden dirty fantasies, and artistic representations of sex. It’s a great source for those who like their hot first-person sex tales with a healthy dose of educational commentary. As the sites’ founder writes:
I’d like to add a teeny tiny extra voice to the horde of women screaming “WE ACTUALLY LIKE THIS.” Women have come pretty far in terms of sexual liberation, but it still seems far more acceptable for guys to moan about how little head they’re getting than for girls to wish they had a dick to suck.
8. The best amateur audio erotica: Erotic Audio Submissions
