Can erotica be good literature?
Discuss.
Good literature can have elements of erotica. If you mean erotica as in genre fiction then no. Genre fiction can't be considered good relative to anything outside of its genre.

I mean a book where the main selling point is the sex. You read that book fully expecting that you may fap to it at some point.

Tldr
Good lit can be erotic.
Erotica isn't literature.
These are defined terms with distinct meanings.
do you think you can define erotica?
i wrote a novel that had no overt sex in it at all, just a lot of teasing. i guess that isn't good literature either.

When the utter pondering of literary exposure of a book gives to its readers is a swollen phallus and a tiny little happy lake of unborn children, it might not obtain the title of good literature since on its nature it's not meant to exert the literary art, but to exert the dick

I'd honestly say 100 Years of Solitude borders on Erotica. I felt pretty moved (in my dick) by a good portion of the book.
