Male or Female?

The title of this blog pretty much says it all.  I'm interested in finding out how readers within the genre of erotica feel about cover art.  Would a male reader generally not pick up an erotic story with good ratings but with a hot guy on the cover?  Do women pay closer attention to erotica with a man on the cover or automatically think that it must be gay male erotica?  If you have any thoughts on this I'd love to hear them either here in the form of comments or email me at logan.lee2011@gmail.com

Rejection

Trying not to take Amazon yanking my stories from their site too hard, after all it is similar to a traditional writer writing something they know is quality and having the publishers reject the manuscript.

Harlan Ellison, one of my favorite writers, stated numerous times throughout DANGEROUS VISIONS that publishers reject things for idiotic reasons. In fact, the premise of that entire book was to take the stories that absolutely pushed the limits and no publisher would touch and then publish them under one cover.

So who knows, maybe in a few years I'll collect erotic literature that pushes the limits and publish my own omnibus . . .
