I have read some mainstream fantasy that has some interesting sexual themes. Like the hermaphrodite hero of 'Raptor' and Fiona Patton's matter-of-fact threesomes. General fantasy books I have read have included frank descriptions of sexual responses to torture and even two including rape that resolved with the the victim becoming the perpetrator's romantic partner (much to my distress as a reader). One book had a man becoming the lover of his half brother (hello? incest taboo?)
So it is my impression that fantasy is much more inclusive of various sexual theme than other genres. But I suppose these might be exceptions rather than rule?
I am currently writing a fantasy book which edges gradually towards a hero-hero-heroine menage-a-toi (oh good I can't spell it :ack , you know -- threeway relationship). It isn't explicit but I wonder how many publishers would baulk at that element per. se....
any impressions -- I was thinking in the region of Tor paranormal romance, advaenture is the primary plot, romance the main subplot.
