Wow, that's a great idea you have there! I love reading/writing erotica too (although haven't really done much of it for quite a while). The thing is, when you're writing pornographic material, there's always going to be some people who think it's disgusting, and some people who think it's quite plain. One person's chocolate is another's vanilla. This is the same with any sort of writing (or anything really) that you may do - it's like some people like sci-fi and hate romance novels, but in your case it might be B&D vs lesbianism.

Besides, my theory on it is that people who don't like that sort of thing, don't have to read it. I mean, if you hated sci-fi novels, would you go to that section of the bookstore and then criticise the writers? Would a sci-fi writer really care about criticism from romance readers anyway?

Good luck with the new venture!
