on a related note, is there a good site that offers audio stories?

on literotica, there are audio stories, but they don't sound very sexy. i was thinking something done professionally in a studio.

?

I enjoy a good storie as much as a nice pic both do the job A god way to get some girls inthe mood is to print out the story and leave it for them to find

Check out good vibrations. There are some CDs you can buy.

I like it, but most is too poorly written for me to enjoy.

Literotica has a "best of" section, based on user votes. Also in categories.

It is common. Normal is too subjective a word, unless there is a statistic you can refer to to prove it is a normal behavior. Many people are turned on by erotica, but that doesn't mean the majority of the population is, too.

If it's consensual, doesn't involve serious risk-taking (hygiene, STDs), and doesn't harm others or yourself, you can rest assured that your behavior is healthy and probably common. Even deviant, risky, and/or nonconsensual behaviors are relatively common.

"The book is always better than the movie"

This is true because imagination is much more powerful than anything that can be created on a screen. You build inside your mind exactly what you want to see, and when it's sexuality you're reading about, you create a scenario that's absolutely perfect in your mind to fill in the blanks created by the words... your own personalized fantasy, I guess. This ability to create images in the mind using only adjectives and letters arranged in correct order is why books exist and are really that awesome.

I think it's also easier to imagine yourself in a story you read as opposed to a video you watch or a picture you see, because there's more room for imagination, and less has been "given" to you.

I find that I too get turned on by stories, but of course I'll need a steady supply of pictures :-)
