Men have yet to fully embrace erotic literature, but a growing number are writing it — using noms de plume
Before Chance Carter, 36, wrote the best-selling book Bad Boy Daddy, he’d published erotic stories for two years under a female pseudonym — until a female erotica writer reportedly accused him on Facebook of misleading readers. She claimed that men working in the genre under women’s names were cowardly and immoral. So Carter adopted a new pseudonym, one undeniably male, and found stardom. According to Carter, he has regularly ranked among the top 100 self-published writers on Amazon ever since. Bad Boy Daddy boasts more than 2500 reviews and spent a week on top of the online retailer’s list of best-selling self-published e-books.
It has been suggested that women prefer female authors when it comes to erotica because men don’t understand how to craft a good, sexually charged story. That theory is based, in part, on the fact that men don’t consume such writing. A 2014 Nielsen survey for Romance Writers of America, for example, found that only 18 percent of romance book readers are male.
