Monster erotica, also referred to as monster porn or cryptozoological erotica[1] is a subgenre of erotic horror that involves sexual encounters between humans and monsters.

Themes

The monsters featured in such works include dinosaurs (see

leprechauns.[1] Titles typical of the genre include Cum For Bigfoot, Frankenstein's Bitch, Milked by the Aliens[1] or Taken by the T-Rex.[2]

Monster erotica writers argue that sex with monsters is different from

non-consensual sex at least as regards the human participants.[1]

In anime and manga, monster erotica or romance is somewhat more mainstream (e.g. in such titles as Monster Musume or Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid),[4][5] and the relationship may be portrayed as more clearly consensual.[5]

History

Scholars have identified erotic elements in horror novels featuring monstrous characters as far back as

I Married a Monster From Outer Space (1958).[8] As a distinct genre, however, monster erotica is a more recent development that found its audience on the internet after 2010. Most erotic monster novels are self-published. In 2013, none of the publishers contacted by Business Insider for an article about the genre responded when asked if they had been offered such works.[1]

The monster erotica genre attracted public attention in the 2010s on account of the surprising popularity such novels obtained in English-language

Amazon.com removed a great number of self-published erotica from their websites, including many erotic monster novels.[1]

The genre again drew public attention when

U.S. House of Representatives in Virginia's 5th congressional district in 2018. His opponent accused him of being a "devotee of Bigfoot erotica", which he denied.[9][10]
