Funny Erotic Books: 10 Spicy Reads That Are Meant to Be Funny
Most spicy books are deadly serious. Someone is brooding, someone is being claimed, and at no point is anybody allowed to be embarrassed. That works for a lot of readers. It has never worked for me.
Sex is funny. Not always, but often, and mostly because of the people having it. The books below know that. They are genuinely explicit and they are genuinely jokes, at the same time, on purpose.
Two are other people’s. Eight are mine, and I will say so each time. Heat level is marked on every entry, because the fastest way to annoy a reader is to promise one thing and hand them another.
Funny erotic books by other people
Anything by Chuck Tingle
The patron saint of this whole idea. Tingle has published over three hundred and fifty titles of absurdist monster erotica, built entirely on premises that should not support a paragraph and somehow support a book. The joke is never cruel, which is the part people miss. He is also a two-time Hugo finalist and wrote a real horror novel, Bury Your Gays, in 2024, so the man can actually write. Start anywhere. That is the point of him.
Morning Glory Milking Farm, C.M. Nascosta
Violet is over-educated, in debt, and takes an unusual job because the benefits are good. Her client is a minotaur. Her crush on him is, she is certain, entirely one-sided. It is high heat, it is very funny about the indignity of modern work, and it has an actual happy ending. A USA Today bestseller and the book that pulled monster romance into the mainstream. If you want proof that filthy and warm can live in the same book, this is it.
And then there is my stuff
This is my site, so of course the next eight are mine. Here is the honest pitch: I write Southern, I write vulgar, and I am not trying to be tasteful. What I am trying to do is make you laugh and give you somewhere to be for a few hours that is not here.
Honey’s Happy Ending Hide-A-Way
Explicit. Honey Belle Hargrove wanted to be a psychologist. Instead she runs a small unconventional business in a crumbling Tennessee strip mall, between Big Earl’s smoke shop and a lawyer who handles other unfortunate developments. Her clients include a bored husband covering a lie about a tractor, an exhausted father who wants ten uninterrupted minutes, an executive who needs someone else to take control for once, a deacon with a Bible in one hand and a peach cobbler in the other, and a widower with a genuinely homicidal chicken. It is the filthiest book I have written and also the kindest. Full story here, or read the summary on Amazon.
The Chronicles of a Proud Prostitute
Explicit. A gonzo erotic dark comedy with a narrator who has zero shame and total clarity about what she is doing. That combination is rarer in this genre than it ought to be. She is not a cautionary tale, nobody rescues her, and the book never once apologises for her. Read the summary.
Ghosts of Dicks Past
Explicit. Lola LaRue has spent years making a comfortable living charming lonely men out of their money. A smile here, a story there, a Rolex that goes missing. Then every one of them comes back. Not in memory. In person. A haunting where the horror is having to sit in a room with your own history while it has opinions about you. Read the summary.
I Married a Fluffer Girl
Explicit. He answered a Craigslist ad for a hundred dollars. He left with a wife. Everything after that first sentence is consequence management, and the comedy comes from how reasonable each next step seems while it is happening. Read the summary.
From Sunday School to OnlyFans
Explicit. From Sunday school to twenty-three thousand a month. Bless her heart. A girl raised inside one very narrow set of rules finds out precisely what she is worth outside them, and the money shows up a long time before the peace does. Funnier and sadder than the title lets on. Read the summary.
I Bought an AI Boyfriend and Programmed Him to Find My G-Spot
Explicit. Her husband bought her a robot. He did not read what was in it. A rich-Florida satire about what happens when a machine turns out to be better at paying attention than the man who ordered it, which is a joke with a knife in it. Read the summary.
I Knocked Up Bigfoot’s Sister
Explicit. Tater McClendon was a regular drunk in a Kentucky holler until one moonlit night and one very bad decision. Now he is expecting a baby with Bigfoot’s sister, the clan wants him dead or married, and the humans have decided he is a traitor to his own kind. Shotgun weddings follow. If creature romance is your thing specifically, I have a whole guide to cryptid romance. Read the summary.
Bonded to the Alien Navigator
Explicit. The straightest romance on this list, and the only one with a real love story carrying the weight. A human engineer and an alien navigator, psychically bonded inside a living starship that can feel what they feel and has started reacting to it. More heat than jokes, but the jokes are there. It sits at the top of my erotic alien romance guide too. Read the summary.
Where to start
If you have never read anything like this and want to find out whether the whole idea is for you, Morning Glory Milking Farm. It is the gentlest on-ramp there is.
If you want filthy and warm in the same book, Honey’s Happy Ending Hide-A-Way.
If you want an actual romance with the heat turned up, Bonded to the Alien Navigator.
And if you want the version with no redeeming qualities whatsoever, The Chronicles of a Proud Prostitute, and I mean that as praise.
One honest note
Every book on this list is for adults, and every one of mine is explicit rather than suggestive. Nothing here fades to black. If you want the comedy without the content, the odd and unusual list has the tamer end of my catalogue on it, and dark humor books brings in other authors entirely.
Otherwise, browse the full catalog. You have been warned in writing, which is more than most people get.
