I think the erotica genre is definitely going to change. More slash aimed at women, for example. I think that was one of those things no one saw coming.

These days I see published erotica authors on their blogs admitting to loving slash fanfic as their 'guilty, finished writing this book treat', even though they themselves still write m/f - or at least currently. The market still has to grow.

I had another think about this subject, and it's not actually maledom I don't like. It's femsub. Just that femsub goes hand in hand with maledom in the mainstream erotica/romance genre.

I don't mind maledom if it's m/m. But I hate femsub even in f/f. So it's the femsub that turns me off.

There's just something too tiresome and cliched about a woman being subjugated, even for sexytimes purposes. It's not a conscious thing. More a reflexive - urrgh!

Also, I'm not bashing anyone who likes maledom/femsub. It's obviously still the most popular kink.

But it is the reason that I didn't go near the romance genre for about 25 years after one brief toe dip in the water. I thought that was all there was.

Instead, I turned to scifi and other genre fiction - which in the UK at least, is full of allegories for non-mainstream sexuality. I'm pretty sure that's not just a co-incidence.

I think maledom is definitely what bothers me more about the equation, but I haven't read much smut/erotica at all. It's just power dynamics in general.

Definitely agree with your comment.
