AURORE is a curated collection of erotic stories written by and for women (and everyone) 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.
AURORE has something for everyone

We ask each other if there’s been any luck today. By the look in our eyes, we both know the answer is yes, now that we’ve found each other.
