The writer Rosario Raro asserts that "the staging of desire in an erotic passage of a fiction book reflects as a metaphor the writer's general intention", which is nothing more than "the desire to be read and for his lines to reach the reader through all the senses". In this sense, Raro thinks that "the resources of seduction and hooking that are used in the composition of a story can be equated with those of erotic description".

The writer from Segorbe has participated in the second day of the course "L’erotisme en la literature” [Eroticism in literature] of the Summer University of the UJI held in Benicàssim, in which she talked about how to provoke the desire to read and to read eroticism based on the premise that, "besides chemistry, human beings are electricity and, therefore, desire, as a nervous impulse of this nature, can also be activated through writing". In this sense, Rosario Raro explained that the fact of "what to say and what not to say when it comes to handling expression has a lot to do with the well-known board game *Tabú*" and she compared it to its rules.

The author of *Volver a Canfranc* and *El cielo sobre Canfranc* commented on some of the erotic scenes that appear in her books and considers it necessary to capture those relationships that do not follow the "boy-meets-girl" scheme, far from moral and puritanical considerations, because it is an aesthetic and, therefore, vital analysis.

The second day of the course also featured the participation of Eugenia Rico, who gave a talk entitled "The new eroticism and the new woman in contemporary literature. Goddesses and vampires". The popular Asturian writer believes that "everything is about sex, except sex, which is about power". With regard to the history of literature, this author assures us that "all great literature is erotic, but not all erotic literature is great literature".

Another of the lectures was given by the winner of the 2018 Planeta Prize and director of the course, Santiago Posteguillo, who delved into the subject of sex in Imperial Rome, a space situated between love and power. The author argued during his talk that "it is very difficult to explain Rome without sex". Finally, the writer Antonio Penades spoke about libido in Ancient Greek literature.
