There seems to be some debate going on the desirability of erotic stories written here and the influence it has on society. Before I put in my two cents worth I wanted to read up on actual material on this subject. Not surprisingly quite a bit of research had been done right from the 50s and 60s till present time.
The sites promoting religious/family values etc again unsurprisingly were of the opinion that pornographic material negatively influenced social behavior. Pornographic material were classified as Pornographic movies, Softcore pornographic films, Erotic Novels/stories (both hardcore and romance novels with explicit depiction sexual actions of the characters) and even the so called 'mommy porns'.
However I was interested in reading what conclusions researches have come to. They can only postulate the effect this could have because it was very difficult to compartmentalize the complexity that is human behavior. Generally they were of the opinion that the influence could be greater on adolescents than on adults. Earlier research on effect on erotic writing on male was that 12% of them were influenced by it, 34% a little influenced and for 54% there was no influence whatsoever. For women the corresponding figures were 6%, 7% and 87%. Now they believe there would be greater blurring of the figures as sexual attitudes and exposure differs. Strangely enough the reason for women's greater sexuality is attributed not to exposure to erotic material but to women's empowerment movements where they wanted greater control over their own sexuality.
adolescents
There are supposed to be the basic genres to erotic stories, The alpha male, usually also being very wealthy and dominating a woman/women, adultery, incest, pseudo incest, bdsm and a few more. They found in modern story writing the alpha female character is also now being depicted. All trends seem to last 6 months to a year and appear cyclically 10 to 15 years time. After about 15 years breeding at present seems to be the trend. Again in western novels incest involves mostly stepmother/father, stepsister/brother etc and not actual blood relationship. In our site it is mostly between actual blood relatives. What does this say about the Indian psyche? As I don't like this genre I just avoid the stories.
People tend to read what is already of interest to them. Not the other way around where what they read influence what they would come to like. Researchers are of the opinion that continuous exposure could desensitize them to acceptable sexual behavior. However greater sexually liberal behavior could be as attitudes change. Many many years ago a woman exposing her ankle was a scandal while no one blinks at a woman wearing a mini skirt (this is in the west). Funnily enough they found that men in a higher socioeconomic bracket tend to read and self gratify reading erotic material. Men of a lower bracket find this strange mainly because they seem to have greater access to sexual gratification with a woman.
Conclusion was that it would probably be detrimental to development of behavior of teens/adolescents and not really so much on adults.
Now for my bit. Should I continue to write if it is going to cause people to alter their behavior for the worse? If all the authors here thought so than this site would cease to exist. I hope there is some kind of screening so that underage persons are not able to register but I doubt it. I trust the maturity of the readers to discern between what is reality and what is fantasy. Is anyone reading this then going to try and seduce his neighbors wife. If the person thinks it is as easy as depicted in stories like this then he is going to have a nasty surprise. I think a person who already has such a disposition would be trying that whether he reads such stories or not. My take is readers come here to indulge in their fantasies and be entertained. I hope they are matured enough to distinguish between reality and fantasy. There is a reason why I put fantasy as a prefix for this story.
One thing I could not fathom. You cannot access this site casually as a guest like in the old xossip. You would have to register to do it. When you want to do so you can clearly see what would be in this site. Taking the trouble to register and then reading what is clearly offensive to you seems rather strange. There are so many sites which caters to each persons interest. As one US supreme court ruling said, 'You cannot restrict adults to reading materials only suitable to children.' Adults make their choice and live by their consequences. Everyone has a choice. No one forces anyone to do anything. I believe the adults here are capable of making their own choices.
