The Great Pansexual Polyamorous Harem Adventure

[AnonUnlimited]

Heh, yep. I don't think I could ever actually write NTR. The idea of a pathetic protagonist just doesn't have any appeal to me. And as a person who's been in poly relationships it's difficult for me to put myself in the headspace of someone who feels that way. I guess I just lack those exclusivity instincts so writing a character that has them will be a challenge.

I am planning for one of my characters to have a partially exclusive relationship with the main character, where she only has sex with him but is fine with him still having sex with whoever he likes.

Just a question, how important is the sex to the plot? I had a whole plot lined up but ended up just making it into mostly erotica.

But no, it wasn't obvious, which is why it was important for me to get clarification. That does answer the question though and it seems what I'm writing is decidedly not a harem.

I agree. its not a harem by my definition. it doesn't necessarily mean that's how everyone else perceives it. tags are funny that way.

I'd say it's tangentially important. The sex doesn't drive the plot, you'd be able to skip over the lewd bits and still understand what's happening tough you might miss important details. The sex is important to understanding the characters and their motivations though.

Hmm… well if you can do the whole plot without the sex scenes while still explaining their motivations then I’d say it’s tangentially important.

but anyway, good luck.
