Whether you're hunting for erotica or porn, you will likely be able to find something free and entertaining online. Text-based erotic stories allow the reader the opportunity to move at their own pace. Erotic stories let readers imagine their ideal protagonists, rather than be force-fed a director’s ideal. While it’s possible to be distracted by poor grammar and awkward syntax, many readers find it easy to ignore small errors so long as the story is sufficiently hot. Plus, the ethics of consuming free erotica are often better than free porn. Most writers who publish erotic stories online have placed them there for free intentionally, whereas many porn creators have not consented to their work being posted on streaming sites for free. Take your time as you venture into the vast world of free erotica. When you find an author you particularly like, you may want to read more of their offerings. Find out whether that author has their own website, then consider becoming a subscriber.
