In the past year I attempted to read gay erotica. I found a few books that sounded interesting enough, but when I actually started to read them, I quickly found out how generic and predictable they were.
I specifically look for titles that are written by men, and also, I judge a book by its cover (It's a must when reading erotica at least), and of course I read those that I find the plot interesting to me.
Recently I started to ready The Flesh Cartel series. I finished book 1 and I am currently in the middle of book 2.
This series, however, is written by 2 women. The series thus far is quite good. It has its generic and boring parts as the plot progresses, but for now, it's interesting enough for me to keep going with it.
What annoys me quite a bit is that the only one book that I was able to actually finish is written by women. I mean, it's not at all an attack against women. But why is it that it takes a woman's perspective to properly tell a gay erotica story?!
What does it say about male writing?
Now, I haven't read all the gay erotica books ever, but when all the ones I read prior were written by men, and for all of them I barely made it to half a book, WHY is it that the one time that I read a book by women, I find it more interesting?
Sorry guys, had to get it out of my system.
