Have any of you done this in your romance or chick lit novels? I ask because I do this, because it seems very natural for women to act this way around each other (not in a sexual way, but women aren't as ashamed about things that would be deemed "gay" for men). I remember when I let a class read an earlier draft of my first chapter, only the lesbians in the room seemed to catch those hints (or maybe the straight girls weren't speaking up).
My protagonist is what would be considered straight; she is dating a man and her romantic interest is a man and all the sexual scenes are with her romantic interest. I wonder how a reader would take this, or even an editor. I know it's been done before, but because of the genre, I've been a bit curious how it will be taken.
