This is the only genre that makes money and the money train isn't stopping any time soon. Short of a puritanical John Carpenter style government, there will always be demand for this shit.

The question is, can a dude write successful girlporn? This is the literary question.
I'm going to read this milking farm thing and see if I can't get a knack for how women write. I'm suspecting it's a bit like this:

>Minimal attention to details and the world, emphasis on personal impressions and feelings; the world as a set of things that make you feel different ways.
>Braindead, 12-15 year old brain simplicity.
Imagine a Middle School girl trying to "speed download" social gossip updates to a friend.
>Vanity, ego, zero accountability, petty delusions, cliches.
This will require a bit of research and marketing savvy just to collect up what today's cliches are. Fortunately, women are dead simple and just go on TikTok/Twitter and see what buzzwords come up a lot.
>Sultry language.
This one's tough. From what I understand explicit, gross language is what sells this shit and is the female equivalent of visually seeing porn. On the other hand, I have a feeling that I could write porn that is vastly more detailed and explicit than what women read and would alienate them. I have a feeling it's just stuff like, "sweaty" "bulge" "heaving" "cock!" "pulsing". Words that sound distinctly naughty but remain vague. It's not about visualizing, even through text, sexual mechanics. It's about breaking social taboos so women feel "naughty" and liberated from their neurotic sexual restraints.
>Female attraction
This is tough. How far do you go with "big muscles, ripped body"? How much do women want to read that, and when is it too much? Women like being dominated but they like to feel it was their choice to be dominated. As a man who understands women very well, I don't want to tap into their sexual triggers too accurately because that might lead to a sense of "revealing too much" about female sexuality which women don't like. They like most of it to remain implicit and simple.

That said, after I nuke my brain with Morning Glory Milking Farm, I'm going to try a couple more to see if my sense of the format is correct.

It should be utterly trivially to right one of these things after that. They're poorly written and short. I can easily embellish the sexual acts to be ten times as spicy as long as I'm aware of the boundaries, men visualize way better than women do. Secondly, as long as I pander to women, I could probably produce a plot a thousand times more compelling.

I literally need like $50k in my life right now for a couple things and I have a feeling I could just pump out 10 of these fuckers in a series and get there.

This is on point for feminized writing, but I could never sell my soul by adding more of such trash to the world

Being a writer is one of the worst get-rich-quick schemes you can embark on. Even if you acquire the skills necessary to tell a cohesive, marketable story your odds of making a killing—or any cash at all—are extremely low.
>>
>>24850035
>This is the only genre that makes money
Lots of low-effort genres make money
Look into LitRPG/the royalroad web serial scene if you want another hilarious example

The latter is what I personally would write if I wanted to sell out. At least it's non-porn and male-focused, even if it's autistic and retarded
>>
I think of feeding some poor LLM girlporn novels and telling it to write me more I think it would do a pretty good job seeing how souless and generic most of them are
>>
>>24850504
I already have the skills, I just have to familiarize with a format and be attentive to marketing trends to get the right topics and buzzwords.
>odds of making a killing in cash
Are almost exclusively in the girlporn genre
>>
>>24850542
Is it selling out if you write female romantic fiction and sell better than female authors, tapping into the female mind better than people who actually live in it?
Quite aspirational.

>>24850555
I don't know why people think they'll just LLM girlporn training.
My WPM for novel writing is extremely high. I'm less good at characters because I can't relate to normies and I've never been pretentious enough to write my actual voice. However, apeing bottom of the barrel female erotic tropes shouldn't be rocket science.
These books aren't very long. I'm sure I could bang them out quickly.

Title: Twilight Nectar Hive
In the bustling interspecies suburb of Briar Glen, overworked barista Lila is drowning in credit card debt and daydreams of ditching her soul-sucking coffee shop gig. When a cryptic job listing pops up for "Nectar Extraction Specialists" at the exclusive Twilight Nectar Hive—a pharmaceutical apiary harvesting potent, glow-in-the-dark essence from giant, humanoid bee-men for luxury energy elixirs and fertility boosters—she applies on a whim. No experience required, full benefits, and pay that could finally let her afford rent without roommates.
Lila's first shift involves suiting up in a hazmat-like bee suit, entering private "collection chambers," and using specialized vibrating tools to stimulate the bee-men's oversized, pollen-dusted appendages until they release rivers of shimmering nectar. It's clinical at first... until she meets Thorne, a brooding, golden-furred drone with iridescent wings, a deep rumbling buzz that vibrates through her core, and a sting-tipped tail he's painfully self-conscious about. Thorne's been a regular donor for years, hiding his loneliness behind a gruff exterior, but Lila's gentle touch and witty banter awaken something primal in him.
As Lila navigates awkward hive politics (queen bee drama, anyone?), dodges nosy werewolf coworkers, and discovers the aphrodisiac side effects of accidental nectar exposure, sparks fly. Thorne starts requesting her exclusively, leading to forbidden after-hours "private sessions" where professional boundaries dissolve into tentacle-like proboscis play, wing-wrapped cuddles, and size-difference ecstasy that leaves them both buzzing. But when corporate overseers threaten to automate the hive and "retire" the drones, Lila must team up with Thorne to save his colony—proving that true sweetness comes from embracing the sting of vulnerability.
This novella-length story would clock in around 60k words, packed with fluid-heavy scenes, praise kink, and feel-good vibes: think office romance meets bee-pun humor, with Lila upgrading from generic lattes to name-brand honey lattes by the end. Guaranteed monster bait with heart!

>office romance
Too complicated and requiring the development of plot structures. Instead, office romance TROPES, where simple everyday scenarios are textured with STUPID CLICHES so they elevate to a woman's conception of drama. You don't have to actually write drama, you just have to give the experience of "my life is a story and I'm the main character". Trappings and decorations are how that is achieved, and competition over these where the protagonist is never wrong about or punished for anything is how women want to experience drama.

Otherwise, I need to research the right tonality.
>size-difference ecstasy
How do you write this?
>"His probiscus was long and throbbing, with a hard knuckle like knob at the top which pulsated."
vs.
>"He had a cock-like appendage that was bigger than anything her ex boyfriends could produce."
Or
>"When his pulsing knob pushed between her legs she could feel it stretch out every inch of her inner flesh, with resin-hard veins dancing around, tickling her opening. The knob throbbed against her cervix, creating waves of discomfort followed by immediate, unprecedented ecstasy."
vs
>"She felt him inside of her. He was hard, throbbing. Pleasure rippled throughout her body. The sultry passion of a hundred nights with human men flitted out of her mind as she discovered a new depth of ecstasy, she tingled, the love was sweeter even than the warm honey waiting to burst from her lover."
>>
>>24850587
That means there's room for a market niche. A touch of human panache, a unique voice, a little bit of descriptive color both women and robots can't achieve.
I just have to figure out how to not overdue it, while also hitting on important cliches.

>>24850035
The woman who wrote this book has been writing smut for a decade, she churns out 4-5 smut books a year

I am perfectly content to write 10 of these if I can make at least $20k. Lol, I could write 10 in about 6 months with grammarly, no need for AI.
>>
>>24850634
What I meant is that she's experienced in writing this kind of slop, not some rando who just lucked out with his/her first book. I think there's already an ocean of similar crap out there that gets no readers or like a handful at best
>>
For what it's worth, OP, I think there's some merit to your idea. Best of luck with it.

I'm gonna do the same, but catering to men instead. I envision a future where the shelves are lined with covers depicting nonhuman women being ravished by human men

I read Sea of Tranquility which had great reviews and the whole time I was thinking about how absolutely shit anything to do with the time travel plot was. People spoke exactly the same in the 1800s, present and future. The future hadn’t changed at all, it was the same fucking problems and politics as today including some feminist rant about equality. 200-400 years of no real change except the scenery.
But of course it was all about relationships and feelings in the end.

Extra funny since I read a bunch of Asimov too and he famously does not give a shit about the people in the stories.

It would have to be a graphic novel with animated photorealistic sequences.

Asimov treats his people like adult male professionals and people who are adjusted to live in a society created by adult male professionals.
That's why his stories are so fucking interesting.

>I already have the skills
Unless you have already written, edited and published a novel, you most certainly do not. Also yeah this "romantasy" porn shit is retarded but generally the audience can tell when you view them with absolute contempt. Even though it's formulaic and could theoretically be easily aped, the only people to make real money from it are true believers

You overestimate that audience, and you misunderstand my intent. I'm not going to ironically and half-heartedly "ape" a formula. I'm going to take note of the basic format and tone, then sincerely create my own version of it.
You just have to create a first person protagonist that is narrating the third person story. The author will be a character I create with her own set of flaws, biases, insecurities and obsessions. I will use the author's fictional backstory (millennial grad student in STEM who was forced to pivot to English literature, washed out of anything useful including editing and now writes porn; is married with no kids but hates men while tolerating her husband) to meter the narration. Discussions of grad school will embellish a little too long with inserted mini-rants. Male STEM types will be treated with particular contempt. She'll have a couple of fetishes that pop up all the time even if they aren't the main object of a gratuitous scene.
>>
>>24851239
Be careful OP, foids are gossipy and one of them will find out you're not one of them. A lot of them hate trannies nowadays, just look at Crystal Cafe. You'll still make money though, just less.
>>
>>24850035
anon, it's not whether you could do it, it's not that there's high demand. it's that others can do it too, are doing it, have been doing it for ages and the supply is greater than the demand. none of the challenge is in the craft. all of the challenge is in the marketing. You are so late to the party, it ended ten years ago. This all started in 2011 - yes 2011 - when E.L. James self-published 50 Shades of Grey. That was the beginning of the boom into the goldrush. You are now in a period with the least amount of gold available, ever. There are perhaps 1 in a million authors who makes a living - not a good living, just a living - from this and all of them work harder than if they had a regular job. By all means, write it if you wish, but you're acting like no-one else has thought of writing books like this, or even can, just you. It is not a new original idea. Thinking you're going to make money out of it is like me thinking you can make millions if you open your own burger joint because you can make a big mac too.

I always thought I'd be good at writing smut for some reason. Maybe I should give it a try.

Do you enjoy describing cocks? Can you write page upon page detailing the taste, the texture, and the smell of cocks? Can you write 100 pages about how you long to have cocks in your mouth? Can you write about glistening muscles and hot powerful men ragdolling you upside down and jamming their tongue through your hymen like a snake ramming itself into a slimey birdnest? Can you write multiple volumes of this?

Then you're gay as fuck, nigga.

Writing erotica that women will find irresistible sounds like a harder task than writing a regular litfic novel tbqh senpai. They know what they like. Just let them write that sort of stuff for themselves.

I would read the shit out of a Her 2013 or a Bladerunner 2049 with a happy ending (in both ways).

Write steamy romance novels targeted at trans women, that's an untapped market. (Also I'd like to read more of them.)
