Soft. Wild. Yours.: A bold exploration of feminine desire in contemporary African fiction

There is something daring about a writer who chooses not to whisper.

In Soft. Wild. Yours., Nene Feteri does not merely tell erotic stories—she inhabits them. Her debut collection of intimate short fiction is unapologetically sensual, emotionally layered, and rooted in a distinctly African feminine consciousness.

At first glance, the book announces itself through desire. But beneath the heat lies something deeper: vulnerability.

Beyond Erotica

While Soft. Wild. Yours. will undoubtedly be classified under erotic fiction, it resists being reduced to physicality alone. Feteri writes about longing as memory, touch as language, and the body as both battlefield and sanctuary.

The stories unfold in bedrooms, offices, hotel rooms, and quiet interior spaces where women wrestle not just with lust, but with power, shame, surrender, and self-discovery. Desire here is neither accidental nor decorative—it is intentional and self-aware.

There is no coyness. And that is precisely the point.

A Feminine Voice Unafraid

One of the striking features of the collection is its centering of female agency. The women in Feteri’s world are not passive recipients of pleasure; they initiate, negotiate, fantasize, and remember. Their sexuality is not framed as scandal but as ownership.

In a society that often polices female desire, Soft. Wild. Yours. reads as both confession and quiet rebellion.

The Lagos setting—subtle but present—grounds the narratives in familiar urban realities: the charged office dynamic, the secrecy of late-night hotel encounters, the emotional contradictions of modern relationships. It is contemporary, urban, and culturally textured.

Language That Lingers

Feteri’s prose oscillates between lyrical softness and raw immediacy. There are moments where her sentences feel like slow exhalations, and others where they burn. The writing does not shy away from explicit description, but it is most compelling when it leans into emotional tension—the pause before surrender, the ache after.

This duality reflects the title itself: soft and wild. Tender and untamed.

Not for the Timid

It must be said plainly: this book is for mature readers. The sexual content is explicit and deliberate. Yet its power lies not in shock value, but in its insistence that women’s stories of pleasure deserve articulation.

For readers of literary erotica and intimate short fiction, Soft. Wild. Yours. offers an African voice that is confident, culturally grounded, and emotionally candid.

Final Verdict

With this debut collection, Nene Feteri positions herself as a writer willing to explore the edges of vulnerability and sensuality without apology.

Soft. Wild. Yours. is not merely about sex. It is about memory. About hunger. About the delicate and dangerous space where love and lust meet.

And in that space, Feteri writes without flinching.
