Pollygraph (interviews with erotica authors): Evelyn Rae
Why erotica?
I think the reason that we read is to tap into feelings and experience something emotionally. There are few stronger feelings than the delight of sex and so both reading and writing in ways that tap into our sexual side feels great!
What kinds of erotica do you write?
I write a few different things, but mainly I do cast bondage stories. What that means is they are stories where the titillation is less from the sex and more from one of the characters being heavily bandaged with broken bones and unable to move. It's pure fantasy, no real life in it!
Tell us about your experiences as an erotica author. What have the big challenges and successes been?
The challenge for me has been the introspection. I write these stories because they turn me on, so I had to look closely at what it is that turns me on and I was surprised by what I discovered! The biggest sense of success is knowing that other people out there are turned on by the same things and that I'm giving something to them.
Do you write in other genres, too?
I do. Under another name I write romances. I'm all about the love stories.
Do the people around you know what you write? How have they reacted, or how would they react?
Most of my friends and family know what I write. One morning my boyfriend said, "I'm donating my body to literature." I thought that was hilarious.
Tell us about your most recent titles.
I've been stretching myself and expanding my boundaries. I love to challenge myself. I've always been turned on by men in plaster casts, but I realized that a lot of the material on the Internet has women in the casts, so I gave that a try and found that it turned me on just as much! So I've done one story with a casted female (Home Alone) and I'm working on a couple more.
Do you have a favourite, or favourites, among your stories?
I'm very partial to Bound. It was my first in the cast bondage theme and the amount that it turned me on while I was writing it really blew me away.
How do you normally go about writing an erotic story? Is there much, ahem, research involved...?
Definitely research. That's the best part! What I usually do is work myself to orgasm and then go back and start writing out what fantasies and images were in my mind. Those get developed into a short story.
Do you have any favourite erotica authors?
I was quite prudish when I was young and erotica really changed me. The first thing I read was Selena Kitt and it was great. I also love the description and balance of sex and story in Terry Towers's work.
And finally, what can we expect to see from you soon?
Creating these stories is such a rush, there will be many more to come. I want to write in a number of different themes and I'm looking at expanding into images and text together. I plan to develop an erotic manga-style story soon and I'm very excited about that.
