Anti-Mormon erotica had wide appeal in the Victorian era. Devices used in this genre usually included a first-person narrator and an innocent victim. These standard motifs were employed and exploited by anti-Mormon writers to gain a wider audience. The genre of Victorian pornography was used to sway public opinion against the Mormon Church and intrigued and titillated readers into the first few decades of the 20th-century. The focus of these erotic tales was the Mormon practice of polygamy. Victorian pornographic motifs are examined in the works of various anti-Mormon writers of the era.
