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.
We’re committed to representing voices outside the mainstream, to creating the content we want to consume: sensual, intelligent, sexy stories by feminist and LGBTQ+ writers.

“What’s it like?” She asks, and when I don’t reply, elaborates, “With a girl?” There it is. Straight girls love to ask that question. Especially straight girls who are about to ask you to show them. I’m not about to let her get it that easy, though. I don’t really care that she has a boyfriend. He’s not my problem, as far as I’m concerned. I’m not even concerned that she’s straight. I do want her to be sure, though, and I figure if she’s insistent enough I’ll be able to tell.
“What’s what like?” I ask, mock-curious. I take a sip of my water and watch her fidget. She twirls a strand of hair and looks away from me, fiddles with her hands. “Come on, what’s what like?” I can’t sleep with someone who can’t even say it.
“Sex,” she almost whispers.
“Oh that!” I say, matching her tone only loudly, a whisper that could be heard two doors down. She blushes again. “Lesbian sex.” I lengthen ‘Lesbian,’ enjoying the contours of my favorite word in my mouth. I don’t make her say anything to confirm. “It’s great, I mean, I have nothing to compare it to, but it’s really, really fun.”
