horny content inside
Most worldbuilding has some erotic parts, but I did one where the erotic was front-and-center. A silly world that runs on porn logic and every fantasy comes true. Fantasies like: cheerleaders, sexy cops abuse their power, nurses take really good care of you, you rub a lamp and a genie comes, you get kidnapped by aliens, enthralled by a vampire.....
Because it's a whimsical leisure world, everything should be on easy-mode. Agriculture should be free of pests and produces massive yields. There's little disease. It's a Utopia of sorts. It's hard to justify that.
Then I realised if I justify the 2nd-last fantasy listed in the first paragraph, I can justify everything else. What sort of world is it where you might get kidnapped by sexy aliens? If alien abduction happens, there must certainly be far more advanced aliens watching over the planet, using it as a playground. It's an extraterrestrial creationism situation: the aliens built the world for their amusement.
It was satisfying to justify one specific plotline that tends to happen (alien abduction), and in the same stroke justify all sorts of things: why is the world filled with beauty and exoticism, why is work on easymode, why is there no disease.
Extraterrestrial creationism is an idea with some canon. It's actually a plausible prediction that if technology develops enough in 100,000 years our horny descendants will create an erotic planet populated by beautiful porn stars who think they evolved there naturally and sometimes get abducted. Wouldn't you if you had the technology? With one stroke, it goes from 'ridiculous fantasy' to 'plausible'.
Almost anything else I need to justify now is just: "the makers made it that way". Santa Claus can exist if his magic sleigh is alien tech: he's an alien who flies around spanking naughty girls. I can justify vampires existing (the makers engineered some sort of virus or something that creates blood-lust). Go through the list at https://tags.literotica.com/ and it's easy to imagine pervy aliens setting any of them up.
