AURORE is a curated collection of erotic stories written by and for women and LGBTQ+ based on their own experiences.
Our favorite erotic stories are emotional and raw, so we work one-on-one with writers to create complex stories that take a positive stance on sex, while remaining wildly relatable.

Jean returns quickly, and I step into his living room and conspicuously sprawl on his couch, in my most seductive pose, letting my legs open a bit to offer a peek up my skirt. It’s completely unnecessary.
