#EroticMusings 44: Is there an aspect of culture or political stance that shapes most or all of your erotica?

My key political stance is that i despise unjust power structures, which is unfortunately somewhat incompatible with writing BDSM porn. So I have to keep most of my politics out of there.

@ratsnakegames

How is it unjust if all parties consent?

If your porn depends on non-consent, then it is not BDSM that is the problem, but your fetish.

(That is not a comment on your fetish, only on where the contradiction is.)

@NaraMoore I mean, my story does have power dynamics in it that muddle the whole "consent" thing. Like, maid/mistress stuff. Maids were extremely exploited in real life, they worked tons and got paid like shit, but the dynamic is just very tempting to write about and i don't want the labour politics get in the way of that

@ratsnakegames

But that's not BDSM. It is power dynamics that in RL are usually messed up.

I have the same problem with smoking. Smoking always shows up in my fiction, even though in RL it to is messed up.
