Erotic fiction has long been drawn to the precincts of prohibition, to those domains—religion, ritual, moral authority—where desire is not merely discouraged but given its most elaborate vocabulary of sin.
Really enjoyed this review. I think this is the reason why many people see eroticism as fluff. Which is fine if that's what you're into, and sex sells after all. What you so beautifully state is that even within something like erotica, there is so much potential to explore deeper themes, AND that would make it even more erotic I think.

Indeed. I would have enjoyed it much better if the book had explored the themes in depth, which is what I was hoping for.
