Is there erotica with literary value?
Erotica's sole purpose is to draw in the reader and elicit a response, much like any other genre; so they, in theory, should have just as much literary value.
However, erotica is often created by mediocre authors who focus more on immediate gratification, rather than developing an arc. Thus, it is difficult to find "good" erotica.

Does reading erotica have harmful effects like watching porn does?

off topic but there was a girl at my school who had "Fearless" tattooed on her arm and had constant panic attacks. Bitches be crazy.

Almost all erotica is oriented in a very brain cucky way.
Nowhere near as bad for men porn but erotica is easier to get into weird fetishes because your brain is only reacting to stimulus you select for. This pounding your sisters ass in erotica just seems like pounding any ass. Dogs licking pussy is like anything licking a pussy.
Highly degenerate, no artistic merit present.
