This year, April 23rd is going to be a notable day for me for two reasons.
For one, it will mark the third anniversary of this website. Hard to believe it’s been that long. Harder to believe Easily Aroused is still here, especially when the typical life of a sex-focused blog seems to be not much more than twelve months.
Now that’s reason one. As for reason two…
To date, 183 people have voted in the ’should there be a paperback’ poll … and 89% of those want a paperback version of the blog, regardless of anything else.
I’m quite prepared to consider that as a majority.
So April 23rd will not only be EA’s third birthday … it’s also going to be the day that - all things being equal - Compulsive Ardour is published, through Lulu.com.
Excited?

Things to See
Things people said....
"...happens to be the best erotic blog out there, you will not find a higher quality erotic sex blog."Uncool
"...perhaps the best male erotica writer in the blogosphere."
Polyamorously Perverse
"...finally a male erotic author who knows how to describe nuances of sight, sound, smell, texture, who knows how to build up a story, build up tension and who finds all the right words at the right time. And finally an author who can balance so very well along the fine tightrope between erotic writing, plain smut, romance and sensuality..."
V (a reader)
"...one of the standout ’strictly’ male erotic blogs that are out there, and I highly recommend it."
Dark Scribe Speaks
"This is fine erotica, well written, very sexy, all packaged in a nice blog format that makes me jealous."
Sexy Blog Reviews
"...ladies, you'll be feeling pretty oversexed after you read this..."
Nattyboo
"I absolutely love Easily Aroused...the way he writes makes you feel as if you are right there, a part of the story..."
20 Something Girl
"This guy can write..."
Merz1
"I’ll admit it. I have a thing for English dudes ... and I love The Whisper of Nylon by Easily Aroused"
TGP
"...if you’re looking for something to distract you from the monotony of real life and hope it involves spanking, the ripping of various items of clothing, hot lesbian sex, hot hetero sex, naughty wives, naughty husbands, and the occasional pair of thigh highs, then I sincerely suggest you check out his exceptionally well written blog..."
When the Lights Go Down…
"Call that a Blog? (Ladies, your attention please - you will thank me ) This is a Blog!"
Ms Hermes
"This guy is basically incredible. Literally."
Le Calme Avant l'Orage
"Read this girls, that is all I'm saying."
The Adventures of Miss M
"There are so many wonderful things to say about this blog that I don't know where to begin...Maybe the best way to say it is..He makes me want to have sex with him over and over and over again."
Speak Sexy
"EA has a wonderfully sensual quality in his writings (the sexy beast of a man, grrr!) totally unique in that he somehow balances the sexually provocative flavour of his writing style, fluid and deliciously exploratory, with intelligent phrasing, selective word choice, even his pacing is remarkably concise. Rather well done we think."

Congratulations on such a long-running blog. It’s not hard to see why yours has bucked the trend.
And congratulations on making the big leap to the printed page. I shall be paying Lulu a visit.
Thank you, Ro…
~EA
Oooohhh… congratulations, EA… that date is becoming more and more special each passing day. Your bloggiversary, the publishing deal and 10 years of Ms Hansen living on this crowded island. Perhaps you’d consider giving an autographed copy to mark this special occasion?
Excited Bristols of Bristol xx
Only if you accept it in person, Ms H…
~EA

Then I’ll do my best to live up to your expectations, Lorna…
~EA
Reaping what you sew EA…you put quality, well-thought love…fantasies in the air for those lucky amoung us to grab up. Recently Un-doing vanilla, I am pretty new to your blog but will ANTICIPATE Compulsive Ardour with bated breath.
Salute…three years running!
SG
Thank you for the lovely words, SG…
~EA
I’m a fairly recent reader and erotic writer falling within your 12 month window. I do like what I’ve read but wouldn’t mind a paperback form to digest off-line. Good on ya!
Thank you, Simon…
~EA
very excited, cant wait to take you to bed !! xx congratulations on your anniversary, with your stunning writing i’m sure your readers are all very glad your still here 3 yrs in….hope you will be here for many more years to come xx
You flatter me, Kimmie. Thank you…
~EA
Very excited. And turned on. And a little damp.
Congratulations!
Now I’m the one that’s getting excited…
~EA
The date is already marked in my calendar, EA…
I’ve always wanted to be famous enough to find my way onto someone’s fridge door…
~EA
Fantastique!
That will be a welcome addition to my bookshelf, and right on time to put on my birthday list for Mister.
Heck, no! Buy the book yourself, my lady, and make sure that Mister spoils you with something sparkly and feminine…
~EA
This is one book that won’t stay on my bookshelf — I imagine it will go with me wherever I go!
Thanks to you again~~ and again~~
Lea, you can take me wherever you like - and as many times as you like…
~EA
Ecstatic is more like it! I’ll bring the champagne!
XX
Make sure the bucket is well filled, AS - we can put those ice cubes to good use once we’ve finished the champagne…
~EA
Well I want my copy laminated and personalised of course… or maybe I shall just wait for the audio version and download your dulcet tones to ipod…?
Always with the lamination. Can’t I just pop your cover in a Tupperware box? As for my dulcet tones - Donald Duck on crack, anyone?
~EA
Congratulations on your Anniversary and your printed erotica! You should know that anything with class lasts.
That’s lovely of you to say so, Nymph…
~EA
Wow!
Wonderful for us… but even better for you! I hope you keep writing (and posting your writings online)
Congratulations!!
xx
You’re very kind, Kirsten - thank you…
~EA
Excellent news - and here’s to many more years of your glorious writing.
Guess we’ll have to laminate our own then?
Everybody wants plastic pages! (See what you’ve started, Cake?) Oh well. I’ll see what Lulu have to offer. I know they do hardbacks … but wipeoffs?
~EA
Fantastic news. Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy.
I’ll try not to keep you waiting too long, FruGirl…
~EA
Sincerest congratulations, EA. You are truly in a class all your own.
It’s really lovely of you to say so, Liz - thank you…
~EA
So if we can’t have a laminated copy, how about a nice handy pack of feminine wipes… scented, of course!
Or we could pat ourselves dry with our knickers, and forward them to you, as a token of our appreciation?
Nah, you’re right… a rather tacky idea!
Ms H! I’m shocked, nay, flabbergasted! And there was I thinking that you were rather bashful…
~EA
Cake is just being practical EA, but we will of course take it any way you wish to give it…
You’ll take it any way I wish to give it? Now there’s a loaded statement if ever I saw one…
~EA
Very excited too. Can’t believe all of us your readers feel so possessive about your words. I’m not sharing my book with anyone though…well, maybe only with someone who’d be willing to put the words into practice… Congratulations EA and to many more years of blogging to come
It’s lovely to know you feel that way about my words, Aurea…
~EA
That’s great news sweetie! xxx Mwah!
Thanks, Angel…
~EA
I am excited about the prospect of taking you wherever I see fit, Mr EA. A slice of heaven right there hidden in my handbag.
How lucky we are…
Hidden in your handbag, NS? Oh dear. I was hoping you’d be pulling me out in the local Starbucks and starting up a whole new fan club for me…
~EA
I am excited…and extremely anxious, EA!
Congratulations!!! Your honors are well-deserved! I just can’t wait to hold all that hot, beautiful writing of yours!
Cheers and gratitude,
Elyse
Thank you so much, Elyse…
~EA
Can’t wait for the paperback! How exciting!! I bought a glass product on the strength of your chapter of the same name………mmmmmmmm
Seems like I may have missed an opportunity for some endorsements with the glass manufacturing community. But I’m glad you enjoyed your purchase, Fran. I hope you’ll find the paperback just as pleasurable…
