What's the appeal of erotic gay fiction?

Unsurprisingly, my sex-ed classes in school left me woefully ill-prepared for the real thing.

Learning what to do in bed with a guy was something I kind of figured out through trial and error, some embarrassing fumbling, and the few gay porn magazines that I managed to occasionally get my hands on. Obviously, this was before smart phones, or the internet.

The game-changer was when I managed to furtively sneak into an adult book-store. This was in Melbourne - the state capital, about a 3-hour drive from where I lived in rural Australia.

As well as the normal range of porn magazines and VHS video tapes, the adult bookstore also offered an extensive range of novels. I bought one.

This was my first introduction to the world of erotic gay fiction.

I was hooked. I bought more erotic novels at any opportunity - eager to read about the adventures of lusty cabin boys on pirate ships, or crusading knights held captive by a swarthy Arabian prince with an insatiable sexual appetite.

Beyond just fuelling my fantasies, the erotic gay fiction that I was reading also taught me about the mechanics of sex between guys - they gave me an idea about what was possible, what would feel good, and even just how to talk about sex with another guy.

The good news is that I no longer have to furtively sneak into adult bookstores to get my fix of erotic gay fiction. Not that I’m embarrassed by that kind of thing anymore. There’s now a huge range of erotic gay fiction stories available online - you can even buy them on Amazon and download them to your Kindle.

There’s obviously a time and a place to read erotic gay fiction, but it’s ridiculously convenient to have your laptop, your phone, or your kindle loaded up with testosterone-charged stories that can heat things up whenever you need some inspiration for your fap fantasies.

My erotic gay stories are unlikely to win any awards, but if you're looking for some fap fiction to fuel your fantasies, then it might be the kind of thing that you'd want to add to your reading list.
