Is it ok to be Christian and read erotica?

Question

I just would like to know if I am breaking any rules.

Answer

It's not about rules... It's about relationship. Following "rules" isn't going to get you in heaven...

Answer

if you have to ask that means YES you are already feeling some degree of guilt. 
“But I say to you that everyone who keeps on looking at a womanl so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Matthew 5:28 
You can commit a sin in your heart.
“Flee From Sexual Immorality!”
“Deaden, therefore, your body members that are on the earth as respects sexual immorality, uncleanness, uncontrolled sexual passion, hurtful desire, and greediness, which is idolatry.”—COLOSSIANS 3:5.
Many people today have a brazen attitude and openly disrespect God’s laws on sex. In the Bible, sexual immorality refers to sexual activity between people who are not Scripturally married to each other. It includes sexual activity between people of the same gender and sex between humans and animals. Sexual activity can be sexual relations, oral sex, anal sex, or touching another person’s genitals in a sexual way.​
The Bible makes it clear that if someone continues to practice sexual immorality, he cannot remain in the congregation. (1 Corinthians 6:9; Revelation 22:15) Additionally, an immoral person loses respect for himself and the trust of others. Immorality always results in problems. It usually leads to a guilty conscience and often brings unwanted pregnancy, marriage problems, disease, or even death. (Read Galatians 6:7, 8.) If a person really stopped and thought about what immorality leads to, he probably would not want to be immoral. But often a person is thinking only about satisfying his own desires when he takes the first step toward immorality. That first step often involves pornography.

Answer

Even literary pornography is pornography. It has the same effect on people as visual pornography does. It can create impossible relational images in one’s mind and cause the isolation and body degradation that happens with any pornography and masturbation. From what I understand, most also depict violent sex that’s on the verge of rape. Maybe that’s not what you’re reading, and maybe that’s more the cheap romance novels, but that’s still a big danger in erotica. It’s not compatible with a Christian lifestyle, so turn and find healing! Allow God to fill the holes in your heart that lead you to those stories and find others who will strengthen you and build you up.
