It may be a case of confirmation bias but I write erotica and am with quite a decent publisher and this has certainly been my experience. All the writers I know say the same thing: femmedomme and f/f sells a lot less well than m/m or m/f.

But this may be because the biggest consumers of erotica are straight women, therefore f/f doesn't hold much interest for them. And among that group the bestsellers are very tropey and have very rigid gender roles. So perhaps (general) erotica readers are just the wrong market.

I doubt it's confirmation bias. I've heard this from a lot of people. It's a shame ):

When I was in e-publishing, back when that was really a thing (as opposed to indie publishing nowadays), the big companies like Ellora's Cave, LooseID, Samhain, etc, said that they didn't take on F/F because it just wasn't financially feasible due to their buying audience being primarily heterosexual women who had little interest in F/F. I'd be curious about sales numbers from another e-pub that exists that has a target audience of queer people, not heterosexual women (Riptide), but I haven't heard anything from folks published there.
