Why a threesome?

Menage stories are a hot thing in the erotic market right now. Well, to be honest, they always have been. But in my mind, it doesn’t matter how hot they are, if they’re not written well. Just like any other aspect of a story. It can be written as a completely unrealistic fantasy, or it can be written as a real experience. They do happen in real life, or so I’ve been told. *Wink*

The first threesome I ever wrote was in the fourth story I ever wrote, a short story titled HANDLING AMANDA, that is in Black Lace’s Wicked Words 9. A MFM threesome that is complete fantasy style with the woman restrained, blindfolded and loving every minute of everything that happens to her. I mean come on who wouldn’t want to be the center of attention of two very hot well-endowed men? Even if it’s only a fantasy.

Strangely, that was the only one until recently. The next threesome I wrote was in my August 2007 release from Berkley, TROUBLE. And it too is MMF, and one of the heroin’s fantasies. The great thing about that scene is, the hero arranges it all because it’s her fantasy, and I think it’s a beautiful scene. I didn’t put the scene in there because they’d suddenly become the hot trend, but because the basis of Samair and Val’s relationship in the book is his offer to make all her fantasies come true.

I believe that like any sex scene in a story, threesomes need to be authentic to the character. Not everyone fantasizes about threesomes, so not all characters should.

WICKED was my third single title for Berkley, and once again, it had one threesome scene in it. In all honestly, when I was writing it, it didn’t matter to me how hot the trend of rthem was, even then I wasn’t sure readers would like it, because that particular story is very WICKED, and it wasn’t your typical scene…(if you can call threesomes typical in any way)…but it made sense and was very authentic to the characters, so it needed to be there.

The Handling Amanda scene was a raw sex fantasy with a bit of kink (beyond the threesome angle) and the one in TROUBLE was more like —I imagine — one would be in a romantic relationship. The one in WICKED was tense, emotional, and arousing. It had emotional connection, as well as the kink factor, and I loved writing it.

I got asked why I write threesomes in some of my stories…I write them because it’s fantasy of mine! And why not, I live a lot of fantasies and dreams through my characters.
