Would you still respect authors who write erotica?

I'm not much of a writer, but I do photograph erotica and display my work in galleries all over the US. Many times I will operate under a pseudonym because I work as a children's photographer by day and would lose my job otherwise. If the parents of the children I photograph knew what I did on my weekends off I would never have another customer. The photos I create aren't trashy, they aren't porn, but many people look at those interested in erotica as oddities or as sick and I think that mindset is completely uncalled for.

But those who appeal to higher instincts need to be respected much more.

I don't understand your answer. It seems contradictory. When you said Hell, no, do you mean we shouldn't respect erotica authors or do you think you should respect erotica authors? You said everyone needs to be respected, but you said those who appeal to higher instincts need to be respected more?
I think a lot of the stigma is because there's a whole lot of horrific erotica out there. Even by good writers. It's the reason the Bad Sex in Fiction "awards" exist:

When you're in that company, it's natural -- if not right -- that erotica writers get judged!

M$This is a part of human feeling and experience. If anything they deserve a great deal of respect for daring to tread into the taboo.

M$However, her books are now so filled with erotica that the plot has essentially disappeared. She throws some in when she allows her main character to get out of bed, which isn't often in the last six or so books. I pretty much gave up on the series when this happened because it got boring to read. Sadly, she still produces these books because someone (or many someones) are still reading them - just not me.

Who do you think is consistantly good?
Interesting question. Though I have to say I don't read anything as much as I used to due to a toddler running around, and I normally don't read erotica unless it happens to be packaged with a novel I'm already reading. But I guess good for me is a healthy balance of plot and sex rather than just one sex scene to another. I should probably check it out more hehehehe
I'm sure it's hard to make a living as a writer, so I say more power to them!
