Erotica focuses heavily on the sexual relationships between the characters. While erotica often features a romance at the core of the novel, today's erotica also pushes boundaries including multiple partners (sometimes simultaneously) and kinky situations. Language can be graphic and sexual fantasies -- often not considered politically correct in today's romance novels are enacted.
As with all romance genres, erotica appeals to a wide readership base. For a variety of reasons, erotica is especially popular in e-book format.
