I'm re-reading Comfort Food, and this book is just the best. THE BEST. It isn't even about the sex - it's about a gutting psychological journey, and sex is the only vehicle visceral enough to use as metaphor. That is precisely my kind of erotica! (*Also super, super interesting to observe her marketing techniques on Amazon.)
I love Anais Nin, too, and Story of O (of course) was mental. I also have no idea what it was or where I found it anymore, but there were these shorts, despite being intended for "play along" rather than literary reading, that were set in a dystopian future where sex bots replaced women, and the dystopian undercurrents were riveting. There was a chapter from the obsolete human wife's POV that gives me gutted traumatic flashbacks to this day, not because of the sex, but because of the visions of the future it painted. O_O
Who else likes mindblowing erotica? What similar books to any of these would you recommend? I have a ridiculous stash of erotic romance, and while that's all well and good in a yummy sex/story/emotions kind of way, it's not brain-breaking like Kitty Thomas. I'm craving some more sex-as-metaphor-for-mindfuck books.
