Ever wondered about the allure of two men interacting in erotic fiction? Considered reading a book with M/M content? Authors Nicole Austin and Ally Blue have joined forces to explore the subject and maybe entice you into giving one of these hot stories a try.
Male/male sexual interaction in erotic fiction and art is becoming more and more popular as women discover the sensual allure of hot manlove. There is something out there for every appetite, from strictly M/M, to ménages. Even groupings where a woman is part of the equation.
According to Wikipedia, as much as 98% of M/M fiction is written by heterosexual women, and read by both heterosexual women and homosexual men. Similar dominance of women authors can be found in the romance and erotic romance genres.
There are many different genre titles for M/M fiction. Slash fiction is fan fiction focusing on a sexual or romantic relationship between two characters of the same sex. The name evolved from the use of the slash symbol (/) to indicate the primary paring of the story. You will also see the terms Yaoi used for M/M stories and Yuri for F/F ones.
Some women readers prefer having a female character in the mix, allowing them to be drawn into the story on a more personal level by providing someone to whom they can relate. Nicole Austin’s (www.nicoleaustin.net) first novel, Passionate Realities, features a M/F/M ménage relationship where the heroine encourages the heroes to experiment with each other. Nicole is working on more stories featuring hot manlove culminating in a lasting if unconventional bond.
Ally Blue (www.allyblue.com) writes scorching M/M erotic fiction. Ally is a wife and mother, nurse by trade and writer of manlove by inclination. Her books tend toward angst followed by Happily Ever After. Ironically, if her books were male/female instead of male/male, they would be considered fairly traditional – except for the graphic sex scenes – as her couples tend to fall in love for life and end up with a permanent monogamous relationship.
What is the appeal of M/M sex and romance for women? Lovers possessing equal strength coming together in an explosive sex scene can be a powerful aphrodisiac for female readers, just like F/F interaction in adult videos appeals to many men. There is less need for gentleness in an equal pairing, allowing the men to follow their primal instincts and creating raw, potent couplings.
Another appeal for many women is the range of emotions experienced by the men in M/M romance. In these books, a woman can sit inside a man’s head and feel what he feels during the roller-coaster ride of falling in love. We get to see men becoming vulnerable in a way they seldom are with the women in their lives. It’s a peek through the window into something a woman can never experience: what it’s like to be a man loving another man.
Of course, the Hotness Factor cannot be denied. For many people, male and female, who are attracted to men, it’s a simple matter of “if one’s good, two – or more – are better.”
