No. Writing such stories is often not appropriate as they involve sexual content which is not suitable for general public consumption and goes against moral and ethical norms in most contexts.
We can avoid it by focusing on positive and educational literature. For example, reading classic novels, self - help books, or scientific literature. Also, stay away from areas where adult - oriented content is prevalent, such as some seedy corners of the internet or adult stores. This way, our minds will be filled with more positive and useful knowledge rather than being influenced by such inappropriate stories.
One negative aspect is that they often objectify people. They may present characters in a way that reduces them to just their physical and sexual aspects rather than complex individuals with emotions, dreams, and personalities.
Rather than focusing on such stories, you can explore romantic novels which have elements of sensuality in a more tasteful and acceptable way. For example, some classic love stories like 'Pride and Prejudice' have underlying themes of attraction and sensuality between the characters.
Secondly, the setting and atmosphere play a big role. They usually create a very immersive world. Take 'Call Me by Your Name' again. The Italian setting adds to the sensuality. It's not just about the two main characters being gay, but about how the environment around them enhances their relationship. The sun, the old buildings, the water, all contribute to the overall sensual mood without being erotic. It's more about the beauty of the moment and the connection with the place.
No. Sensual and erotic stories can be about much more than just sex. They can be about the exploration of physical and emotional desires, the connection between two people on a deeper level that involves more than just the sexual act. For example, it could be about the first touch that sends shivers down one's spine, or the longing glances that convey a world of unspoken feelings.
The use of vivid descriptions also plays a role. Describing the way a character's eyes shine when they look at their loved one, or the soft touch of a hand. It doesn't have to be sexual, but these details can add a sensual quality. For instance, 'The sun was setting, and his eyes were like warm embers as he gazed at her, and when their hands brushed, it sent a shiver down her spine.'
No. Such stories are not appropriate in mainstream literature as they contain sexual content which is not suitable for general public consumption. Mainstream literature is aimed at a wide range of audiences including children and adolescents, and such explicit content goes against the moral and ethical standards expected in this context.
Love stories that focus on pure and deep emotional connection, like 'Pride and Prejudice', are also wonderful alternatives as they explore the complexity of human relationships in a proper and elegant way.
