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.

When I was twenty-one I found an ache inside myself, an ache I would only be able to quench, I believed, if I fucked a man who looked like Jesus Christ in the ass. I came to this realization alone in a Greek Orthodox Church a little after Christmas, peering through a plexiglass case sooted dark with incense smoke at a display of relics.
There was a vial of what might be blood, or maybe instant coffee. A finger bone of a saint (or a gibbon) a velvet cushion, the hair clippings of a martyr (or a cart horse) in a gilt box. The lineage was dubious, but the message clear: the body is holy. And then there was the painting over the altar: Christ’s arms outstretched to display those luminous triceps, the lithe body and ridges of hip bone, side wound strawberry-pink and dripping, the upward gaze, penitent and holy but also somehow coy as if to say, who, me? with his sweet dark eyes and hair you could braid like a pony’s.
