Random Poll about potential content
🕑 Added 2025-10-03 02:00:57 +0000 UTCBefore I say anything else, BE AWARE THIS IS PURELY HYPOTHETICAL and is a thought experiment. I am not planning on starting a new story right now based on this question, and I'm not looking to change/add something like it to any current stories. It's based entirely on some random ideas that were swirling around in my head as I was driving today, and I'm curious as to what you folks think.
Some Preface Info: When I'm talking to other erotica writers (particularly Literotica posters) about being a Patreon creator, one of the big things I try to impress upon them is that they need a consistent Author Brand for their content. I often categorize my 'brand' to include "Haremy, emotionally available relationships (no sharing female romantic partners, often times female romantic partners are into sharing main character)." So a lot of the following question is about the very edge case/borderline of that 'pillar' of my brand.
Question: Do you think a story with a Female Point of View character, featuring a core lesbian relationship where the main character has distinct permission to sleep around with men/women, is inside or outside my brand?
Obviously there are a few variables here. First, I don't usually write Female main characters, though I write from a female PoV in several stories (Le Francais, Unexpected Affection asides, very occasionally FoF.) Next, even in those cases, I don't usually write sex scenes from their perspective, and particularly not penetrative sex with a man/the main character.
Then there is the inclusion (or gender-reversal of my usual norm) of the female character having sex with different men, just as my usual main characters have sex with different women. So I guess a side question is - is the 'harem' loyalty the more important part of my brand, or is the gender ratio more important and not to be swapped?
And lastly, which isn't necessarily something I can include in this poll but might be worth it if folks want to comment on it - would an All Lesbian/No Dudes relationship harem/set up be on brand, or would it be a little weird for my majority-male audience?
Alright, off to write more UA. Thanks for the thought experiment!

My take on the core idea that you are good at would be "emotional and social fallout from sexual relationships between multiple characters". You could make many changes to the usual formula while exploring that idea, including the ones you mention. However, I would personally find it a much bigger change if you go with a female lead having relationships with multiple men and women than if you dropped the harem/"harem loyalty" part of the setup.

I think AMA is fantasy it’s not reality. But what you propose is more like Tuesday for this current world.
