Why You Need to Go To Smashwords Not Amazon if You Like Taboo Erotica

If you've been getting your erotica from Amazon and lately you've been disappointed with them, feeling like they're kind of watered down or missing entirely in certain categories, you're absolutely right. You should go to [Smashwords](https://www.smashwords.com/) for your taboo erotica. Here's why:

Amazon has a policy of heavily censoring certain categories of erotica, eliminating some entirely and leaving others so watered down that it's hard to tell what they are.

These categories include incest, rape and bestiality. Rape fantasies, for example, are entirely missing on Amazon. Initially Amazon allowed rape erotica, then forbade it, which caused authors to move to something called “dubcon” which stands for dubious consent in which the heroine submits to sex under pressure, like to save the family farm or get Timmy out of the well or whatever. This didn't last long and then it was off to “reluctant” which is somehow different from dubcon but still pretty much the same, and lasted about as long. Now all the characters in Amazon erotica are 100 percent all for whatever the hell they are doing.

And so if you like rape fantasies, you are not gonna be happy with Amazon. Same with incest and bestiality. Incest went from incest to semi-incest (people related but not by blood having sex) to pseudo-incest (people who only THOUGHT they were related having sex) and now there's pretty much nothing.

I'm not at all up on bestiality on Amazon, but I DO know that even in werewolf erotica there are now rules against the main characters having sex in their wolf form.
So, no bestiality or anything like it on Amazon.

If you enjoy these genres, the good news is, Smashwords still publishes them. You should go to Smashwords and check it out. Because that's where all the authors who write or have written books with that kind of content have gone. And you can get your books there formatted for Kindle, ebook, and frankly, almost any format. Bon appetit.

You could start by enjoying Emmalina's Rape, now on Smashwords.
