Yes, perhaps the term 'erotic' might be misconstrued. It could refer to a ritual story with elements that were mislabeled as 'erotic' but in fact had other cultural or symbolic meanings, like representing fertility in a non - vulgar way.
Well, 'ritual erotic story' might imply a story where there are specific sequences or actions (rituals) that are intertwined with erotic elements. For example, in some ancient mythologies or folklores, there could be stories where a certain ceremony or rite has an underlying erotic undertone. It could also be a modern, more experimental form of writing where an author creates a fictional world with its own unique rituals that are related to the characters' sexual or passionate experiences. But again, this is a very niche concept and not something you'd find in typical, general - purpose literature.
I'm not aware of any specific well - known 'ritual erotic story' off the top of my head. However, in some ancient Greek myths, there are stories that might come close. For instance, the story of Aphrodite's birth from the sea foam could potentially be seen as having elements that could be related to this concept, as the act of her emergence might be considered a kind of 'ritual' and she is the goddess of love and beauty, which has an erotic connotation in a sense.
It depends. Sometimes rituals are inspired by real cultural or historical practices and then adapted for the story. But in many cases, they are completely fictionalized to fit the narrative.
The Ritual is purely fictional. It was crafted by the imagination of the author or screenwriter. There's no connection to any true incidents or people's real experiences.
The ritual behind the story can be seen as the glue that holds the story together at a deeper level. It often adds depth and authenticity to the narrative. In many folktales, the ritual might be something passed down through generations, representing the collective memory and wisdom of a community. It can also create a sense of mystery and anticipation, making the reader or listener more engaged as they try to understand the purpose of the ritual.
