The novelist and philologist Luz Gabás has pointed out that in recent years the perspective of how readers perceive eroticism in literary works has changed, a fact that implies a series of modifications in the guidelines for reading erotic literature and the passages of novels that include sex and that also provokes a modification in the writer's criteria of how to deal with the subject when writing. The Aragonese author made this statement in her intervention during the first day of the course "Eroticism and Literature" at the Summer University of the Universitat Jaume I, which dealt with the approaches and limits in the production and reception of eroticism in today's novels.

Gabás affirms that "writers now find it difficult not to get into swampy terrain, but not because of whether the scene is more or less torrid, but because of the reader's sensitivity in this era of cultural revisionism", and concludes that "in an era as pornographic as the present one, we must adjust to the sensitivity of sexual questions".
