When it comes to women specifically, erotica has often been held up as being especially beloved. “There seems to be something very intertwined about a story and many women’s sexuality,” explains Kyle Zrenchik, Ph.D., LMFT, ACS, couples’ and sex therapist, and clinical director at ALL IN Therapy Clinic in Minneapolis. “Men are more visual, and women are more narrative. Of course, I’m speaking generally, and there are many exceptions.” If you’re on the lookout for some great erotica aimed toward women, then look no further, because we’ve put together some of the best sites for your pleasure. (Note: These are all NSFW links!) In order to read SLICK stories, you need to be a member of Autostraddle’s A+ membership club. It costs $4 a month, and for that price you get access to all the A+ content on the site—not just the erotica—such as advice columns, personal essays about a wide plethora of lesbian and queer issues, and discount codes. Dipsea is also committed to diversity; it claims that over 50% of its characters are voiced by people of color, and over 25% of its stories are queer. Each story is tagged and organized so you can easily select what you’re interested in. Themes covered include threesomes, BDSM, and off-limits hookups. A monthly subscription currently costs $12.99.
