Every other week, Bothered Stories readers receive an email with access to our latest sexy fiction. You can expect several short stories and a few “Just the Sex” erotica pieces each month, plus additional articles and content.

Bothered Stories publishes two types of fiction. Our short stories clock in around 15-30 minutes and feature real, flawed characters and captivating storylines. Just the Sex pieces are exactly what they sound like: short vignettes (under 900 words) focused on a single sexy scene.

We feature writing from bestselling novelists and up-and-comers alike. Our fiction spans genres from contemporary to fantasy, and depicts all kinds of characters. Whether you're queer, heterosexual, vanilla, or kinky, we have stories that speak to you.

We love hearing from interested authors! Find out more about working with us here.

If our content’s not right for you, let us know within 30 days and we’ll give you your money back, no questions asked.

We’re exploring options for newsletter customization, but for now, all Bothered Stories readers receive the same version of our newsletter. But we take care to keep our curation fresh and diverse—and we’ve found that our members are often surprised by how much they enjoy it all.

Members also get access to the full archive of Bothered Stories content online, where you can search or filter to find your perfect read.
