Our mission
Porn is unhealthy. You know it. It not good for you as a man, or the man you want to be, it leaves you shamed, unsatisfied, addicted, and ultimately defeated. It harms women in many ways, from the industry that produces porn to the unrealistic sexual expectations created by porn. And it doesn’t get you want you want: a healthy, loving relationship.
What’s wrong with porn (more if you’re interested)
We use porn because we have natural, healthy sexual urges and there’s no good alternative to help us with the natural, healthy act of masturbation. Women also have natural, healthy sexual urges they need to satisfy and they’ve been doing it for decades using erotic literature. It’s the world’s most popular book genre for a reason!
There are evolutionary reasons why reading erotica doesn’t work for men (of course, not all men and not all literature, but I think you know what I mean if you’ve every flicked through a romance novel). Our mission is to create erotica that is not porn and works for men. They’re very short stories with great visuals, just enough to get you started, and we think they will leave you emotionally and sexually satisfied. Enjoy!
