      my mom is a pretty cool lady. growing up she was a phone sex operator. she literally reads at least one hardcore monster romance per week.

      i had her recommend me a book and it was erotic fantasy novel about a woman who becomes a sex worker in what is essentially the temple of aphrodite and there is a lot of gay and bi sex including a bacchinalia scene and a mmfm scene. uh, thanks mom? it wasnt really for me but i will say it was well written.

        including a bacchinalia scene and a mmfm scene.

        Spicy! …Now I’m wondering what the market looks like for hardcore erotic fiction authors; especially non-straight ones. I’d take a crack at that kinda job.

          anything under the sun is game for readers these days it seems

          i mean just look at chuck tingle hes a legit writer and he probably has more readers than most more traditionally successful writers

          if you want to write erotica then id say cut your teeth on a short story or two and throw them up on AO3 and get some feedback, itll be especially easy to get eyes on it if it involves some big characters from popular show. theres also a big market for gay erotica thats cishet woman coded.

          a pretty big fantasy book that made the rounds a while ago was the priory of the orange tree and while it was pretty tame in regards to sex scenes i would describe it as the lgbt game of thrones. the main romance is a lesbian one and 2 of the other main characters are gay men

          i also joke about morning glory milking farm which is a romance about a woman who jacks off minotaurs because it is a meme book but in reality i have actually read it along with some of my friends and we all loved it because its extremely well written and the author, whoever they are, definitely has a solid technique down for jorqing a magnum dong. i unironically recommend it if you want to read a monster romance its basically the only one ive ever read

          Do it! We need more leftist everything. The book I just read, the new Patricia Briggs, basically marks off the Lib checklist of progressive stuff (trans character, gay marriage, etc) but in the context of military and cop worship.🤮 Really takes me out of the story when they do that shit. We need sexy commie vampire slayer and werewolf stories!

            Anita Blake, but a comrade-type beats (NOTE: I’m well aware Anita’s basically pig-adjacent; I have read nearly that whole series by now.)

              Yes, exactly. I’ve read the whole series, glad she’s getting back to the plot. Sex is great but I need some dang narrative. Also, vampires fit perfectly as metaphors for capitalists. Commie vampire hunters should be a given.

          haha, shes really sharp. my sister and i have some childhood trauma and shes the reason why it wasnt worse. she was our protector. she stepped in and stopped any and all abuse the instance she suspected it was happening even if it meant she had to uproot everything. she has some wild mixture of politics but i cant hold it against her because shes saved us and also one time she literally took a bullet for me (stray bullet shrapnel from a nearby shootout in our hood)
