NSFW (Would I have better reader retention if I wrote a threesome instead of a normal sex scene in chapter 1)

Come check out chapter 1 here and tell me about it. https://www.scribblehub.com/read/400438-life-of-johnny-smith/chapter/400440/

It depends on the genders involved.

MFM or FMF? I like the latter.

Why stop at threesome when you can do it with more than just three? Look, why ask for common sex > threesome? The question here is whether to have common sex -> threesome. Thing is that if you're writing sex scenes, then you should just add what you have in mind than deciding which to write. GO WILD BRR BRR BZZT BZZT

You don't need escalation for reader retention. If your story is good, a vanilla sex is no different from a threesome, at least when it comes to reader retention. Don't make shianshia mistake. Escalate in moderation.

What is Shianshia?

What is Shianshia?

The genre some people consider as the best thing since Mao's dick. Also spelled Xianxia.

Ok you meant Xianxia, I got it. Mine is more of a contemporary slice of life/erotica relating the life of a singer. It should talk about things happening in people's life and be believable & relatable.

Xianxia? What kind of genre is that?
@Dajoe1234 , just wondering. How do you plan to write that 3p in the story?

MC has two girlfriends and they are in a throuple, so like regular sex between a throuple. I'd write it like I imagine it, with a lot of reference to the 5 senses and some dirty talking and good dialogue to set it up.

So the Triad relationship has already been established before the start of the story?

If so, then that's good and you don't have to explain how to set up the romance and all the plausiblly toxic dramas that come with harem tropes, usuallly from both genders' perspectives, hopefully.
