Contrapoints On Your Deepest, Darkest Fantasies

If you have the time, and I strongly recommend you make the time, I would like to draw your eyes to the above YouTube video from Contrapoints. If you’re interested in erotica vs. romance as literary genres, and the psychology of why women fantasise about what they fantasise about, this is the perfect cultural analysis for you.

As someone who used to read (and write) a lot of smut, this was a really fantastic articulation of the psychology behind certain sexual desires that many may find baffling. I have to admit, ’50 Shades of Grey’ still doesn’t do it for me, but I totally see why it does do it for many.

Happy watching!

Thank you for reading — I hope you found my thoughts interesting. You can find links to my other work here: https://linktr.ee/sayde.scarlett
