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.
Baby’s first time at the sex club—luckily adopted by two seasoned women for the night.
AURORE has something for everyone

In the main room beside the bar is a circle of leather couches and armchairs surrounding a television streaming—what else?—pornography. A few guests are chatting amongst themselves, none paying all that much attention to the porn. Beyond that is a wall of BDSM accessories: crops, paddles, various forms of harnessing and rope, and a St. Andrew’s cross. There’s even a Sybian, though Marin tells me she’s never seen it in use. Not much need with all these helping hands around, I figure.
There are a few offshoots of the main room—one chamber cheesily made up to look like a classroom, and another outfitted with blacklights. Beyond the bar a narrow hallway is lined with even more bedrooms, all with optional privacy curtains. I peer inside one and meet eyes with none other than the couple who were eyeing me at the bar, woman laid flat on the bed while her male partner plows into her. Instantly, our trio takes pause—and slowly, a small crowd forms.

Consent isn’t just a formality; it’s the bedrock of a good and safe experience, whether with someone new or a long-time partner. Knowing that both of you are on the same page sets the stage for real, genuine intimacy.
