Perhaps it's the Kindle phenomenon. Romance novels are booming!. And I recently discovered, much to my own delight, that there's a growing number of erotic romance novels targeted at women featuring bisexual M/M/F themes...
Titles like "Three-way Kiss," "TGIF, Our Little Secret," "All The Way"... these novels feature women meeting or being involved with two men together in very, very, VERY sexual ways...
Perhaps women feel more comfortable with relating to the sex with a more romantic context... however you slice it, it's HOT!

Hi!
I've been lurking here a while and this thread prompted me to register.
If you are looking for good romantic menage and more erotica, there are a ton of epublishers out there with some solid books.
Look at Siren which has a ton of menage. Ellora's Cave, Loose ID, Samhain are the big ones, but many epublishers have poly/menage categories. There are publishers out there who do straight up erotica with this theme, but the stuff I'm talking about here is a little more romantic and will have either plots or be very focused on the growing relationship between the characters.
Some of my favoritie authors folks might like:
Tymber Dalton/Macy Largo
Morgan Hawke
Samantha Kane
Tielle St. Clare
Jory Strong
Shayla Black
Lora Leigh
Brit M.
This is a mixed bag, some contemporary, some SF/fantasy/some historical. Just to get an idea of what's out there.
Goodreads is a site for readers and authors which has online erotica reading groups and even a group for people who read menage specifically.
Not everything by every author will be menage/poly and not all menage have same sex interactions. Look for codes like m/m/f or f/f/m but not m/f/m (where there is menage but no same sex interaction). There is also a huge trend in stories that are m/m and a growing trend in f/f.
Erotic romance is subversive!
I like to read--it's better than porn for me.

Yes, thank you very much. I love to read and not a huge fan of porn either. But these books I know my wife will love too. I had no idea MMF romance books existed.

Thanks for welcoming me folks. I did think it could be TMI but I also thought there might be people out there here on this board who would enjoy this trend.
It is mostly e-books, but those can generally be downloaded in .pdf and read on your computer. Some epublishers do print in paper but those are often limited and really expensive.
I love erotic romance and I really do think it's subversive in the sense that all these folks who are reading these books who may be more mainstream sexually/culturally are getting the idea that it's normal to be bisexual or gay, and/or to have a kink or two. That people are people regardless and that we all need to follow the Golden Rule. What matters is how we treat one another, not how we form our families and what we do in our bedrooms.
Plus you can get off. Two for the price of one. Maybe three if your partner gets off too. :) Or four... or.... ;)

I love Ellora's Cave, I read a lot of different paranormal erotic fiction. There are different reader programs you can use. But to me the erotic fiction has to be like a good porn, it has to have a plot. Not just sex for the sake of sex but part of the story, an integral part in some cases. Okay, yeah well most cases but c'mon the descriptions are to die for.

Well, I used .pdf because it's format that people who don't use ebooks a lot might recognize. You can convert it later even if it's a little wacky using Calibre and Stanza I think. I just thought it's a good place to start for folks who may just be getting into ebooks. Of course, lots of people are getting Kindles and Nooks these days so what do I know? They are easy to use I'm told. I have a Sony reader, myself.
I'm not a big Amazon fan. I usually buy from the original epublisher. I'm pretty sure the author gets a bigger cut and I want to support my favorite writers!
I love Ellora's Cave too, DuckiesDarling. Loose ID and Samhain are good too. Siren has a ton of menage--almost specializes in it. I like paranormals, sf, fantasy, contemporary, historicals--I like them all--especially when they are graphic. :) I want more than just hot sex though--I agree with you DD. I like plot and I am very character driven. I need to like the people in the story too. I get bored easily if it's just sex for sex's sake. If the sex is part of the relationship building and evokes strong emotions--I am all over that though.

I use Microsoft Reader and Sony Reader mostly, but I convert PDFs to text files and then into .lit files with a neat program called Readerworks. Yes the erotic aspect of the paranormal books that EC and Samhain offer are amazing but without the emotions there is no energy to pick up on and that just leaves me cold, may as well be reading the bible.

Did you write it? It was quite good! I liked the idea of "Fallen" without defining that explicitly, but showing it.

Glad you enjoyed it, and no I didn't write it. My erotic writing tends to be personal for my babe and any writing I share is more mysteries and short non erotic stories.

I read Blood Knot. It was pretty good. I read it during my lunches at work. Probably not a good idea! Had to wait a while before I could get up!! :smilies15

Exactly people can read all sort of fictional stories/erotica for free, that's well written, and they don't have to pay for it at all.

Have you posted any online? Would you consider posting any on the blogs here? I've written a little myself, and there will be more to come. I've posted a couple things on my blog on here.

Hi. I posted a few stories on Adultwork, but no-one bothered to rate them. Most of my work can be found at Luminosity dot com under my name.
