If you wish to deal with specific categories of people who have specific keyword triggers, then you could work your way into a fancy description of your activity:

> I write titillating stories that explore the psychological and physical boundaries of desire and lust without sparing graphical details and explicit references.

This may appeal to the more restrained souls.

On the other hand, you could also be blunt. Perhaps you ought to be so, given that you probably are quite proud of what you do. And don't forget, regardless of literary genre, you are first and foremost a writer. That in itself is a great opening:

> I am a writer. The genre? The kind that pleases: erotica/smut/porn.
