Out of curiosity, I'm interested in knowing what sexual preference readers have when reading erotic fiction/romance. So give it to me guys and gals. Do you prefer M/F, M/M, F/F, or menage? If you prefer menage, do you prefer same gender or M/F/M or F/M/F? Or do you prefer multi-partner scenarios? If you prefer several types, list them all!

I'm very much a 1x1 girl and not into sharing. XD
Given that, my pairing of choice is M/F.

I prefer M/F the most also but also reading menage-based stories with either combination of partners.

WriteMood said:I'll shoot another question at youIn a menage, must the man/men always be dominant? Or can the woman/women be the dom?
I wouldn't say "must" - at least not for me - but dominant men or partners that are "equal" are more fun for me to read than a male partner who is submissive.

Oooh, I like that answer! Thank you for answering me.
Being a yuri fan, my preference is F/F. That's not to say that I dislike M/F though. M/M is generally not to my liking, but in... certain circumstances, it can get interesting for me.
In menage (never heard that term before actually), I prefer F/F/M. In other words: The more girls, the better.
Men don't have to be necessarily dominant. Actually, I kinda like more dominant women.

Thank you for your response Nyarly! I'm not usually a fan of M/M either, but I suppose it would be interesting if it was wrote in a way that appealed to me.
Menage comes from Menage a' Trois. It translates to mean "Household of Three". It was the first descriptive reference to a threesome in sexual contact with one another. Nowadays, it's just shortened to menage.
PS- I had to look up Yuri

I like both m/f and m/m but lately I've been more into m/m. :]

As for writing, I generally only enjoy m/f pairings, but I have been inclined
to do m/m/f pairings (simply because I don't like to share).
Reading someone else's material, however, is a totally different scenario.
I thoroughly enjoy reading m/m, f/m and m/m/f pairings.
I do not enjoy reading or writing f/f or f/f/m.

Thanks for the reply, Juno! I've noticed that a lot of people are getting more into M/M. It's become less of a skirted subject and more out there. Evernight Publishing has even started publishing M/M versions of their holiday anthologies. A new one will be coming out in October with a Halloween theme. I don't write M/M myself, kinda dodgy about anal sex for a personal reason, but I'm glad others like it.
Hey Oversea! Thanks for stopping by. Hmmm, until now, it really didn't occur to me to think that what people are willing to roleplay might be different from what they are willing to read.Oversea said:
You'd hate the short I'm working on this second! It's a F/F/M with a F/F HEA ending.

Ahaha! Well, I doubt I'd HATE it, I'd likely just dislike
it. Who knows, I may enjoy it. But for the most part
I know that I'm not really into those scenarios D: !
Oversea said:
LoL, well said. Don't worry, I wouldn't be offended if you didn't like it. I'm not into M/M but several of my fellow authors at Evernight think it's the next best thing since the invention of vibrators.

Generally, I tend toward M/F, but I also have a strong interest in lesbian fiction, either erotic or mainstream.

Personally I like M/F, its not cause I'm a hetero guy or anything don't get me wrong... I read damn good M/M and F/F stories as well, but i personally prefer M/F.

Hey Benen, (I love your avatar btw!). I personally prefer M/F too. I suppose, for me, its the classic appeal? I have read some well written versions of most anything else, but the good ol' fashion romance that I've been reading for years rather tempers my view. Thanks for leaving your two cents!

your quite welcome my lady, and i was also reading that you like to use some interesting character names that you run across... i have a few that i like to use, that i have yet to find their equal, Such as Nex Fulmine (D&D lightning Sorcerer), and Forlorn Sky (Star wars force using Soldier), i have them in other RPs besides where they started and they have great character development.
Benen Eachann said:
I'll keep that in mind. Considering I write Sci-Fi and Fantasy, naming can be a bit of a pain in the ass, to be blunt. The trick is to make names people don't normally see, but can still easily pronounce. I'm only looking for names, though, never characters. I have plenty of attention-greedy voices in my head that scream for attention.
The saying, "I write so others believe me sane, but with a vivid imagination" holds rather true for me.
Winter said:
Welcome, Winter. Thanks for stopping by. Hmmm, you don't have to answer this, but I wonder if it has to do with anal sex? I know that my lack of desire to read/write M/M is due to that fact. Something to ponder at least.
Sephyr said:
Hi, Sephyr. Wow, thanks for being so honest in your opinion. I do believe you are the first to admit such a thing. Your comment has made me realize, you don't see those story lines much in fiction. I wonder how soon it'll be before those are as common as any other genre?
Lyra said:
I meant the transexual/hermaphrodite. M/M is growing increasingly popular in romantic fiction in America as well. As a matter of fact, several publishing companies are opening up lines specifically for M/M based fiction.
