Nothing says Valentine’s Day like dinosaur porn. What’s not to like? It’s so much more fun than Fifty Shades, more sex-positive – and much pervier. With short stories including Taken by the T-Rex, Ravished by Triceratops and In the Velociraptor’s Nest, it takes dinomania to a whole new level, while also possibly answering the question “why did dinosaurs become extinct”? (Interspecies confusion.)Why go to all the bother of taming the monster inside Christian Grey when – since it’s all imaginary anyway – you could get it on with an actual monster? It’s part of a larger genre of “monster erotica”, which also includes girl-on-centaur, girl-on-satyr and guy-on-pterodactyl action (in Pterodactyl Turned Me Gay, a title surely beloved of the Christian right and containing the immortal line: “I was covered from head to toe with the pterodactyl cum”). Dino erotica sits comfortably in the context of Greek mythology, where interspecies mingling was quite the thing. And don’t forget that EL James’s work began its life as fan fiction for Twilight, which was girl-on-vampire. Monsters, all.
