Is there a market for normal werewolf sex?

Question

I've been working on a novel about a young man in college who is coping with being a werewolf and meeting his first girlfriend. His girlfriend finds out early on and is completely accepting of his "issue" and the two have a wonderful relationship. However, when it comes to their sex life, I refuse to "glorify" it, like you'd find in any other smutty romance. I intend for this to be marketed as "paranormal romance," but it's not smutty. When the sex scenes occur, it is very natural. The werewolf is a virgin, having not allowed himself to be with a girl before, afraid of telling people his secret. Instead of being "hot and steamy," the scenes are about two college students just trying to figure out what they like and how to go about it. Would this interest you, as a reader, or do you honestly just want the glorified smut? Can a book be romantic and talk about sex in a realistic and occasionally naive fashion, or must it be nothing but massive erections and steamy hot lady zones?

Answer 1

Sure it can be realistic and dignified. In fact those are often much better reads. The "glorified smut" variety have never been hailed as great literature, they are mass market material that is easy to read.

Answer 2

Sounds good.
I say glorified smut and steamy hot lady zones with massive erections first (it works).

Well the term 'werewolf sex' is inexpedient to the common sense. But there is a very large market in werewolf, vampiric and demonic paranormal culture and the sexual part of it is now a religion. So if you wish to market in the term 'werewolf sex', you must notice the fact that it may be impossible to live long throughout a sexual intercourse with a werewolf being whilst in the werewolf form. So please do not confuse the readers with this question. But you should seriously think about this, as there is a really big market out there and most of the readers would be in their late teens to young adult.
The style that looks like you are writing in is the same as Twilight.
But try not to base novels on preexistent ones.
I say MAKE THE BASE STORY.
I learnt to do this in high school and that is before university.
So I guess you could try joining some kind of group to help you progress on that kind of business.
Regards.
I hope this answers your question.

Answer 3

I would say that you can definitely find a market for non-smutty werewolf romance. Paranormal/supernatural romance is big right now, and not all of it is super graphic. Charlene Harris is a nice example, where there is sex and romance, but it is a lot more calm/realistic than say, Laurell K. Hamilton.

If nothing else there's definitely a market among teenagers.

Answer 4

I think it would be very possible and would hold attention as long as it was interesting of course with some shock value. Would the first time be as a werewolf or in human form? It would be difficult to write a unique love seen with him being in human form as would be to write in a sex scene with him as a werewolf without being at least to a certain degree sexually graphic. Watch some werewolf movies and you determine what it would be like to have sex with a raging borderline out of control virgin werewolf that is torn between doing you and eating you. Im sure it will be interesting.

Answer 5

It's a subplot of many Terry Pratchett Discworld novels. Most notably Feet Of Clay and The Fifth Elephant. The character named Carrot (who is human) has a relationship with another character named Angua (who is a werewolf), and it deals with the difficulties imposed on the relationship, in a light-hearted manner.
The monthly cycles of werewolf activity are used as a metaphor for the female hormonal cycle.

Answer 6

It depends: does the human drink 12oz beers, then become a werewolf and start hitting the 40 ouncers. If so, the werewolf would have so much Whiskey dick, from an unusually enlarged liver, that he would just go anal - and yes, there is a market for that.

Answer 7

same as everthing on tv

Answer 8

Answer 9
