It's the final test for the subs. and other exciting erotic stories at !. One day, my mom was late to pick me up, so I lingered in a bookshop. For a young man not yet out of the closet — I was too afraid to search for gay erotica, thinking my computer might somehow alert the FBI or get tainted beyond the repair of clearing my browser history — the desire I felt, opening and reading those pages, seemed dangerous.
I couldn't help but look over my shoulder; I needed to make sure the coast was clear for my thoughts. I peered at book covers of ideas and themes I assumed were forbidden. But I was wrong — they were sold here as commercial reading material. Gayness existed as a profitable entity and community, void of insult or sin unless ironic.
My phone rang and I rushed out of the store, so nervous that my mom accused me of being on drugs. I picked it because of the torsos on the cover; the title assured me of the context. I figured this must be why gayness was feared. I returned to the bookstore. I started buying books by authors like Edmund White , an Officier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in France, and Alan Hollinghurst , the Booker Prize winner, for guidance on the intricacies of gay desire.
Through their stories, I was able to experience gay sex through the lens of an anthropologist; though often, my reading felt way more exhilarating than research. I reached out to Edmund White recently to ask about these novels, about why he wrote his sex scenes. And who likes sex. Queer visibility encouraged more people to put their existences to paper, broadening the scope of the stories being told.
Yet this relatability seemed to turn his audience on the most. His mainstream success helped convince literary giants to open the doors for aspiring gay authors. Early openly gay authors provided a foundation for other identities to lay their words and inspired other genres like gay erotica to thrive.
Interestingly enough, raunchy gay sex was a literary niche first embraced by cis-straight female authors making the leap from their regular programming.

They also remain a substantial fan base. Straight and gay erotica author HelenKay Dimon has been inspired by writers like White. She created gay men emboldened by their sexuality and, in doing so, she could focus her expertise on building the fantasy — like what happens in the sheets between gay, muscled secret agents finding themselves on opposing sides, as in Mr. Smith , her queer subversion of the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie film.
White says the depth of context differentiates literature from , so in novels, readers encounter unencumbered gay sexuality riddled with history and detail — humanising aspects that give gay literature richness and depth. I didn't have a hashtag to show me that my desires, which felt so unique to me, were ordinary — even worthy of celebration — but because of the books I grew up reading, young queer people are now able to find the same liberation online that I first felt reading raunchy sex from that bookstore.
Young queer people are now able to find the same liberation online that I first felt reading raunchy sex from that bookstore. On TikTok, where BookTok has been exploding for years, SmutTok is now thriving in the UK too, celebrating all ages, genders, sexualities, and bodies — though a large part of the movement has been pioneered by queer women.
White, Hollinghurst, Dimon, and the thousands of other authors of their generation who wrote subversive, smutty literature helped pave the way. For my part, gay smut showed me queer characters that lived fascinating lives outside the bedroom, making me believe my story could be honest, interesting, and publishable. I no longer need to hide or justify my raunchy gay novels, nor surreptitiously devour them in the corner of a bookstore; I'm free to enjoy their fantasies and, as White intended, to relate and feel realised.
