CYBERSPACE – The internet has gained a considerable reputation for being “The” place to look for visually erotic and sexually stimulating materials. What’s less well-known but nonetheless true is that literary erotica is also popular – and perfect for sharing as part of a festively sexy holiday treat for individuals, couples, and beyond.In addition to Print On Demand purchases of ebooks, an assortment of mainstream and erotic book publishers also offer a wide selection of readable materials available either for online reading or to purchase and have delivered via the traditional means.

Companies as diverse as Cleis Press, Circlet Press, Alyson Publications, and Greenery Press are just a few of the print entities with an online presence. Ezines including CherryBomb.com, CleanSheets.com, and ScarletLetters.com provide fans of quality erotica yet another venue for exposing themselves to the sensual literary arts.

According to the folks at Tit-Elation.com, erotica anthology subscriptions are becoming an increasingly popular gift for holiday lovers and a profitable sales alternative for retailers. Because of both, Tit-Elation has released a hardcover “Best Of” book for horny holiday celebrants to read alone or together.

As Tit-Elation points out, “Erotic stories can be a wonderful way to increase intimacy between partners. It’s one way to increase fantasy play and is often better received by women than film and DVD productions.”

Additionally, a book can be carried from room to room, allowing one partner to read while another bathes, or providing an opportunity for couples to curl up in bed and read to one another — before curling up even closer and acting out their festive fantasies.

To make things even better, sweethearts separated by miles can read to one another over the telephone.

“Reading stories aloud does wonders for a woman’s libido,” assures Gracie Passette, Tit-Elation’s publisher. “We love words, we love hearing them, we love to hear our lover’s voice say them.”

In Passette’s experience, the shy man benefits in unexpected ways, too. Unable to share his passion on his own, he can tell his lover what he’s interested in by selecting just the right story to read.

Tit-Elation’s “Best Of” book includes stories covering 19 areas, most of which are written by women. First times, exhibitionism and voyeurism, BDSM, interracial, lesbian, older/younger partners, toys and masturbation, interracial, marriage, couples, oral, anal, fetishes, one-night stands, sex with strangers, co-worker sex, group sex, infidelity, and romances mean that nearly any retail site can find a customer hot spot to massage.

“We’ve got everything from historical erotic fiction stories to out-of-this world adult science fiction and fantasy stories, too. It’s a smorgasbord of sex stories and sensuality,” Passette promises.

All stories included in the Tit-Elation anthology resulted from online submissions. Subscriptions to the books, released on a quarterly basis, include free access to the stories online, as well.
