Hello there! I am a guy with very particular preferences, interests and kinks. For a while now I have wanted to write some romance stories of mine but despite my interests, I didn't want to write anything explicit. The funny thing is that despite me having my preferences I just find most NSFW spaces to be gross rather than hot mainly because of kinks I am not into. I don't like art with anime-artstyles, highly-realistic artstyles, AI slop, anything overly detailed or anything with unrealistic proportions.
I prefer things that are teasing, spicy and a bit suggestive but not outright explicit that also focus on emotional connections and emotional intimacy, I don't like stuff that is transactional. I have considered trying Tumblr (though I probably won't post there since I don't want to risk minors encountering my work) and certain subreddits like r/Dracula (one of my stories is basically an AU/fanfic of Dracula), r/ancientegypt , and maybe a third centered on snake people. Essentially if I do post there, I will mark my posts as 18+. However, considering the reasons behind why I am writing them, even though they aren't explicit, I want to minimize the risk of minors encountering them for obvious reasons.
I already tried Literotica and that place was a mixed bag in all honesty, I got some good advice but it didn't feel very empathetic... Other subs (even NSFW ones) removed my posts for dumb reasons like "being off topic" or for overly strict moderation (even though all my characters are adults in all three stories). I tried some 18+ Discords too but I basically just got ignored or just more of the same from the NSFW subreddits where I got some good advice but just felt out of place due to my more tame and reserved stories.
So, basically I have three stories all involve hetero polyamorous romance, one is about the descendant of Jonathan Harker from Dracula in 1990s Maine meeting Lucy Westenra and Dracula's Brides in 1990s Maine, one is about a Christian security guard in 1980s Massachusetts who encounters some immortal Ancient Egyptian queens at the height of the Satanic Panic, the last one is set in the 2000s, where a British tourist with a phobia of snakes ends up underground and meets two snake women (one a lamia, one a naga).
It just feels like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place, I either go to a sub where my posts get removed for being off-topic or violate some arbitrary rule (even if I mark my post as NSFW), or I go to an NSFW space that isn't to my liking and doesn't match my vibe and/or interests. It's honestly been pretty demotivating and frustrating as someone who wanted to explore their attractions via writing and connect with understanding people.
I am desperate at this point and am on the verge of just giving up trying to look for spaces, so I decided to post here as a last ditch effort to try and find something. I hope you guys can maybe help me out despite how particular and niche my preferences are. Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope you guys can maybe help me out...
Bye!
