At dVerse guest host Sanaa has invited us to write exploring erotica as a literary genre (what makes a poem erotic?).

Agreed, when I’m reading anything erotic, the gynaecology method leaves me cold. Thank you Liz.

I’m glad you put it that way, I really do think that if it’s too graphic it loses the integrity of personhood so to speak. I’m always trying to deal with objectification, tough gig that one. Thank you very much indeed Chris.
