Erotica: Should Christian Women Read It?

He’s stunningly handsome. She’s drop-dead gorgeous. He’s rich. She’s sexy. He desperately wants a woman in his life. She’s longing for some strong male attention.

They meet. They fall in love.

It’s not long before their steamy romance turns intensely sexual. Their fantasy seems too good to be true. What is portrayed as the perfect love story and sexual relationship entrances modern women with every page they turn.  

This is erotica.

As it stands, “erotica is the fastest-selling genre of books selling to women.” 

This genre of literature is created for one purpose and one purpose only — to stimulate and arouse sexual desire within you.

This is exactly why we, as women, are so drawn to erotica.

It captures our imagination, emotions, and sexual desires with stimulating words that draw us away from reality and into a dream world for a brief moment.

Whether you’re married or single, the two of us hope you can see how counterfeit and dangerous erotica truly is. It’s steamy, yes. But it’s just that — steam. It doesn’t last. It’s doesn’t fulfill.

It doesn’t satisfy.
