What used to be dismissed as a “penny novel for the inexperienced housewife” now inspires millions of readers. Erotic literature is mostly about captivating love stories in which things get hot (not just in bed). We present eight books that stimulate your imagination.
According to statistics, 24 percent of Germans have already had experience with erotic literature. This includes pornographic magazines as well as books dealing with sexual events – such as the notorious novel trilogy “Fifty Shades of Grey”, in which submission and dominance play just as much a role as love, lust and passion. And although the book received a lot of approval and rejection at the same time, there is no question that there are enough readers who are interested in erotic literature. And it therefore has an absolute right to exist. If you are still looking for a tingling story, you will find it in the following tips.
1. “Outlaw” by Sophie Andresky
What does a woman do when her husband gives her a free pass to let off steam for a year – when, how often and with whom she wants?

You have to find out for yourself why she got the free ticket in the first place. The book is here.
2. “Flowers of Passion” by Layla Hagen

3. “Obsessed” by Don Both and Maria O’Hara
Single mom Olivia works from one odd job to the next to secure a roof over her and her son’s heads. When she accidentally gets a job as a cleaner at the FBI and meets the attractive and mysterious agent Riley Keaton, she has no idea that their meeting was no coincidence – just as little as the job offer.
