This article offers a semiotics reflection on erotic short stories in present-day Spanish literature. It shows how dissatisfaction is one of their distinctive features and becomes a semiotic symptom of existential malaise that hinders communication. The reasons for this condition are both literary -relating to Nin, Lawrence, Miller or Bukowski, who problematize eroticism-, and extra-literary -the existential experience of the erotic experience-. Dissatisfaction, however, does not remove the exciting function of these stories, either because of the passages inciting desire in a more specific way or because the negative is assumed in the erotic experience.
