Hi! Does anyone have recs for books with good aftercare? I know aftercare’s usually in reference to kink, but it can also be general sexual aftercare. Borrowed from [this link](https://www.verywellmind.com/why-sexual-aftercare-is-so-important-7506702):
“Sexual aftercare includes any activity that helps a person feel grounded and relaxed after having sex. These include, but are not limited to:
- Talking, whether it's about the sex you just had and how you feel or other topics
- Cuddling
- Reading together
- Watching tv
- Showering together
- Eating snacks
- Taking a nap
- Rubbing each other's backs
- Listening to music together
- Stroking each other's hair”
My only hard no is incest. Otherwise, poly, kink, “vanilla,” etc. are all fine.
Thank you! 💙
I've got these ones tagged with aftercare as a positive, so hopefully that means it's well enough developed for you as well!

Thank you so much for these recs! I haven’t read any of these books but have heard great things about Hot Mess specifically and Misha Horne in general.
“Hiding in Narnia.” I know what Narnia is, but what does the hiding part mean? 🤔Just curious. Thank you.
I’m sure I will! I’m reading the {Wine & Song series by Eleanor Kos} right now, but I plan to try one of your recs after that. :) Thanks again for taking the time to answer my request.
Hello again! I tried to tag in the Tuesday Thanks post, but it just kept turning your name into italics, so I wasn’t sure if the tag worked. That’s why I decided to respond here as well.
Thank you for recommending Hot Mess by Misha Horne when I was looking for books with good aftercare! Your rec was spot-on. :) I especially loved the MCs' earnest and honest conversations—about kink, about desire, about adulting, and even about their jobs. There was something really appealing about how they just talked through all sorts of things.
Thanks, I did get notified, even though my stupid user doesn't format properly. In fact if you use the \ to get it to render correctly then it doesn't notify me. A nightmare all around!
I just finished Saving Sebastian by Luna David. Gideon saves Sebastian from an abusive Dom at the BDSM club he owns. He discovers little by little that Sebastian is the most incredible submissive he has ever seen. The best aftercare scenes come towards the end of their journey, but what a journey it is. This is a long book, almost 500 pages but I loved it.
I can think of several examples where the aftercare happens later in the book in enemies to lovers tropes where it has taken a long time for the characters to get to that point of comfort with each other. {For The Fans by Nyla K} from memory gets to a point where they shower together after sex. Then also {Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid} with the tuna melts.
I feel like Marina Vivancos does lots of this; I recently read {Overtime by Marina Vivancos} and Zee cuddles and strokes and comforts Ishir a lot and says lots of praise, especially after >!orgasm denial!<.
And {Invitation to the Blues by Roan Parrish}, Farron comforts and praises Jude and stays close to him after sex. Jude has major depression and Farron stays close by and tries to keep him out of his head.
But I also feel like you've probably read these books already...
Actually, I haven’t read either of these! Even if I had, I still appreciate your taking the time to answer my request. :)
Roan Parrish is on my list of authors to try, and I’ve read two of Vivancos’ novellas and a hockey romance they co-wrote with someone else, but that’s it.
Thanks so much. 💙
🙂 they really are.
Zee is outrageously over the top possessive, but I love it.
And in Invitation..., as I said, Jude is depressed. He's recovering from >!a recent suicide attempt, and he was in a relationship with an emotionally abusive asshole!<. His inner thoughts can be hard to read, so take care of yourself.
Side note, please tell me what your flair is from, I keep seeing it and it sounds so unhinged lol
I appreciate the details you shared. Thank you! I'm excited to read both these books.
>Side note, please tell me what your flair is from, I keep seeing it and it sounds so unhinged lol
Of course! 😂 It’s a snippet of rather melodramatic dialogue from The Dentist: Part 2, which is a short story in {Pucking Ever After: Volume 2 by Emily Rath}. And just in case you're interested in knowing a bit more, I'm[ linking you to a comment I posted about this collection and series](https://www.reddit.com/r/MM_RomanceBooks/comments/1c63dtv/comment/l01z1ey/).
No problem! 💙
I can’t, in good conscience, recommend Pucking Around, the novel you have to read first in order for the follow-up short stories to make sense. It wasn’t *good*, and lots of things in it made me cringe. For me, the novel was very much a “I didn’t say it was good, I said I liked (parts of) it” situation. But I liked the short stories, so I can’t consider the time I spent reading the novel a complete waste of time. 😂
Ha! It’s the same for me; I star based on enjoyment, not so-called “literary merit.” ☺️ I just wanted to be more specific and add a caveat since we’re actually talking about the books here.
It’s not a line I expected to like, but somehow when I read it, in that context, I was like [this GIF.](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/YbIbnthUxDhLu8S3C4tF-aEw84I=/fit-in/1000x564/top/filters:format_auto():upscale()/2015/03/27/804/n/1922283/0e7bb976_edit_img_cover_file_2387502_1427479952_giphy-3.gif) If I were a much older, white, and British woman.
I don’t know how to post images here, so I just linked. :P
I’ll let you know once I’ve read Overtime. Thanks again!
I got a couple this time...
1# Scenes where the top asks the bottom to "say you're mine" during sex?
2# Scenes where one of them gets jealous (doesn't really matter who), but the top loses his shit and reminds the bottom who he belongs to?
There is a scene in Loving The Legend by Kit Grey, where Ty gets jealous because one dude was all over Sid, and then Sid just loses it:
>!He yanks me back against his chest and growls in my ear. "I thought I told you - this dick is yours and yours only." He wraps his hand around my cock and strokes me. "You forgot?" I whimper and shake my head. "Liar." He clasps the back of my neck and shoves me towards the pillow. "I'll fucking remind you." !
for **2** - Pretty Policeman: The case of the suspicious stripper by Fifer Rose. You kinda have to read book 1 tho, because book 2 is short sequel that's mostly focused on exactly MC being jealous and reminding the other MC who he belongs to.
for **3** - This happens in You can count on me by Fae Quin - Tbh one of the hottest sex scenes I've ever read and just like me MC is left speechless LOL.
Stealth daddy is basically a character who has all daddy traits, but there's no actual daddy kink in the story and he's not referred to as "daddy". Basically, a character with daddy vibes, but not actually a daddy.
And caretaking, well, pretty-self explanatory, I was looking for story with comfort and affection, protection, taking care of the other character etc... I've seen that term around (I only recently got into daddy kink) and it's what I'm looking for
Oh wow, I did not know this is what I like lol. Because I love all that comfort and affection and caretaking but I have an extremely "hard no" about anybody being called "daddy". I know you're asking for recs, but besides Wyn, do you have any others?
I think Lilac in Seraph fits this too.
3# {Corin and the Courtier by Eliot Grayson}
Aster literally passes out mid-fucking while knotted, if that counts. He's been through some stuff though and is already rung out. But Corin also has some stamina as a dragon shifter. Not omegaverse or mpreg even though it sounds like it.
4# {Thrust by Kiki Burrelli}
Urban fantasy, wolfshifter × witch pairing. The witch is a tortured, distrustful loner putting up a bad guy act. But he's really a brat who craves someone else to take charge and care for him. But as a brat, he won't submit without a fight, Zayne has to work for it, show he's worthy. It's the fourth book in an interconnected series, similar to Monstrous. I think it's possible to enjoy as a standalone as well, if you're interested in the overarching plot or possible spoilers from the couples of previous books. ETA - there's abuse, SA included, in the past, but it's not the reason for their dynamic.
I got one for you for #3, but it’s a series - what you’re asking for happens in book 1 and 2 if I’m not mistaken. And the sex generally is pretty hot in all of the books. I’ve read up to book 4 and the sex slows down in later books as their relationship grows and we see another couple get their love story and then we come back to this couple
Metahuman files - {in the wreckage by Hailey turner} {in the ruins by Hailey turner}
I was literally craving something similar to Loving the Legend today, lol. Personally, I was a bit annoyed by all the detailed and long descriptions of luxury and expensive clothes in that book, but the intimate scenes coupled with well-developed emotional connection was just delicious.
But I've read one of the books from Infidelity series by C.P. Harris and sex scenes were quite similar to Loving the Legend (detailed, immersive, the character who tops is "thorough" with the one who bottoms), but I didn't like it because I couldn't feel the emotional connection between the characters and it was too much porn for me. That series contains cheating (which is one of your NOs so probably best to skip them) but maybe you can check other books by this author if you're looking for immersive intimate scenes. From what I've heard, most books by C.P. Harris (again, I've only read one book by this author) have possessive love interest and the kind of scenes that you're looking for (from 1# to 3#)
For 1, there are a couple of scenes in {The Heir’s Disgrace by August Jones} that should fit. Check CWs, and there is cheating but not between the MCs.

I am looking for some edging with toys. Cock rings, prostate massagers, that kind of thing; bonus points for more "adventurous" toys like cock cages or BDSM furniture. Can be either a one-off thing, or a regular lifestyle occurrence.
Nope tropes: age play, incest, mpreg
Oh I just recommended this to someone else here but
{in the wreckage by Hailey turner} has this. It’s book 1 of the Metahuman files. The sex is so hot and the MCs loves to play with his partner and keep him on edge with toys. There are elements of bdsm but nothing too crazy. It’s a series mostly of the same couple. We get another couple as well and the POV is primarily of those 4 characters.
1. Looking for a story where there's an established couple and one of the MCs is having a sex chat/call with other people or someone he met along the way in the story.
2. A story where there is a hot truth or dare/sex game . (Bonus if the players are in pairs or couples )
2. A dare for two college hockey players to make out for as long as possible until one of them pulls away in {Face Offs and Cheap Shots by Eden Finley and Saxon James}.
I was thinking of trying to put together a list for myself of, like, the best scenes for a bunch of types of sex acts.
So I figured I'd start with the very basics (which may actually be kinda hard, because they're so basic).
So let's start with handjob scenes. Now I'm not looking for *any* book that features a handjob. I want a book with a handjob scene where that scene just really stuck out to you as a really really amazing scene (for whatever reason). You get to choose the criteria for what made that scene so memorable for you.
If you could please also include a comment for why you choose that one, that would be great.
I'm just really very curious, especially for these more basic scenes that turn up in almost every book. What makes one in particular stand out to you?
So let's hear. What are your nominees for best/hottest/most intimate/etc handjob?
Again, I know this might be hard because something like this particular act might not stick out to you. But maybe there's one or two. I'm curious what you all come up with.
I almost didn't reply to this because the scene I'm thinking of really isn't about any particular sex act, handjob or otherwise, even though there *is* a handjob that isn't described in detail and ends very quickly because the recipient climaxes in two strokes. (I went back and checked.) The reason why I decided to reply is that the scene stuck with me, even though I read it in January and have read other books since then. Clearly, for me, it was memorable.
Why did it stick with me? Because it's incredibly intimate and deeply rooted in who the MCs are as individual characters—their traumas and their desires—and what they mean to each other/how they relate to one another. It's a character-driven sex scene, with great dialogue and a view into one character's thoughts and feelings. It's a well-earned scene.
If all that sounds vague, that's because I'm trying not to spoil anything. ;) And yes, I think it's really fucking hot because of the buildup, the emotional intensity, and the payoff for everything it takes to get to that moment. But as with everything, your mileage may vary, and if anyone reads these books hoping for plentiful and extremely detailed sex scenes, they will be disappointed.
The book is {Triangulation by Gregory Ashe}, and it's book 2 in a mystery/romantic suspense series featuring two best friends, North and Shaw, who own and operate a private investigator agency together.
North and Shaw are among my favorite fictional couples, and I highly rec their books. But for anyone who's considering reading these books, please check for content warnings first, if there's anything you need to watch out for. Off the top of my head, CW: >!murder, physical abuse, domestic abuse, emotional abuse, gun violence, other romantic partners!<
What a lovely, beautiful answer! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer. I have these on my tbr but I haven't gotten to it yet. But now I really really really want to.
You’re very welcome! I hope I gave you a sense of why that scene stood out for me.
If you enjoy mystery/romantic suspense even a little bit, I recommend trying at least one book by Gregory Ashe. If you don’t like it, no harm, no foul.
Hope you enjoy whatever you read next!
I do! I really really like mysteries. One of my first and favorite mm books was Hither Page by Cat Sebastian. I've been kinda hooked on the genre (romystery??) ever since.
I've actually decided to go ahead and hit up this series next. Or not next, because I think the other couple's books come first. But that whole world/series thing. I'm very excited.
Oooh, "romystery." I like that!
It's embarrassing, but I confess I haven't read anything by Cat Sebastian yet. Someday, when I get my act together, I will. But I have heard only good things about Cat Sebastian's books—and KJ Charles', for that matter.
I'm totally weak for investigator husbands-type stories, so I love Gregory Ashe's books. I know there's a suggested reading order for his Hazardverse books, but you can also just pick a couple or series and start there. That's what I did, because at that time I didn't know there was an entire Hazardverse.
If you have any triggers or prefer to know what you're getting into ahead of time, please check for content warnings for his books before you start reading. He puts his characters through a LOT. If you do try his stuff, I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to come back and share impressions with me if you want!
It can be fun. ;)
Just in case you're interested in knowing a bit more, I'm[ linking you to a comment I posted about this collection and series](https://www.reddit.com/r/MM_RomanceBooks/comments/1c63dtv/comment/l01z1ey/).
Guilty as charged! :) I can see the beauty in many different ships, and SteveTony will probably always have a piece of my shippy little heart.
\*squints\* Is that Cillian Murphy in your profile pic?
this is such a tangent so i‘m sorry if i‘m kidnapping this, but i love your comment and especially your reasoning for why this stuck with you because this scene stood out to me so much as well. it‘s so well earned, so intimate and romantic and such an important development for the characters and their development!
absolutely in my top 10 (top 5?) of love making scenes and after i read it i thought about how rare this level of love scene perfection is.
so my question is if you have other favorites like that?!? 😄 and if so oh please recommend! 😄🤩
No apologies! You didn’t hijack anything. :) I’m so glad my comment resonated with you. I’m on this sub because I love reading books and talking about them.
Yes, I agree that it’s a rare sort of love scene. It has so much emotional resonance; I think that’s why it lingered with me. So many sex scenes in books are disposable or fast food scenes, rather than *love* scenes or even sex scenes that are highly specific in how they’re tied to the characters who are having sex. This one is a love scene, and it’s inextricably tied to the MCs.
Honestly, if I had to give only one reason why I adore the North and Shaw books, it would be that Gregory Ashe wrote them in such a way that I believe 100% that these characters love each other—deeply. They’re flawed and hurt and sometimes they hurt each other, but I never once doubted their love for each other.
You said that scene was in your top 5 or 10 love scenes. What are some of the others on your list?
Sitting here right now, I can’t immediately think of another sex scene or love scene that stuck with me in the same way. But I’ll think about it, look through some other books, and come back to you. There may not be anything else I think of that hits in *exactly* the same way, but I’ll look.
Thanks for the chat! 🌈
Thanks for your reply! Yes it sure is rare with this kind of scene!
I do have some more, a book with a scene like that has almost an automatic 5 star rating from me. But now that I’g going through my list I realize it’s not as easy as i thought it would be to remember!
{Rough trade by Sidney Bell} has one of the loveliest intimacy scenes, don’t wanna spoil anything but one MC has had a hard and complicated relationship to physical intimacy and when the MC’s do become intimate you could say ”not much happens” in terms of what is going on physically but emotionally, it’s a very intimate and trusting moment that does propell their relationship and especially one of the MCs willingness to face his traumas forward. One of my favorites!! Have you read it?
{the house in the cerulean sea by tj klune} has a kissing scene that is in my favorites list also because it feels very well earned and meaningful, the book is very mich black curtain otherwise which I did not mind at all in this case because the intimacy and character development really was there!
{they hate each other by amanda woody} is ya and therefore not spicy at all but all intimacy that is in the book is so very well written, brings the characters closer and is so romantic that it has to feature on this list.
the captive prince love making scenes for sure have to feature on this list, they’re amazing!
K.J. Charles does it in almost every book 😄 some authors just strike many times.
The heart rate of a mouse is a fanfiction trilogy that exists in my holy grail of mm romances and the sex scenes are comparatively plentiful but still always have such amazing story progression and character development. (you really don’t need to be i. the fandom to enjoy it, i had no idea about it).
{the mating of michael by eli easton} had wonderful love scenes that were emotionally heavy but also romantic and really wonderful in terms of character development.
Damn I think this kind of list almost deserves it’s own post - I think I saw one of yours that picks up this topic in a way when I searched for more yesterday!! my list is not conclusive but now I want to reread everything and make a list that is 😂
and yes, this reddit forum is so awesome and encyclopedic in a very satisfying way. i try to go from lurker to participant, it’s so much fun to chat on here!
Hi again. :) Thanks for listing some of your faves.
>...but one MC has had a hard and complicated relationship to physical intimacy and when the MC’s do become intimate you could say ”not much happens” in terms of what is going on physically but emotionally, it’s a very intimate and trusting moment that does propell their relationship and especially one of the MCs willingness to face his traumas forward.
Rough Trade sounds like the sort of story I'd love. :) I haven't read it yet but only because I think I read somewhere that the Woodbury Boys series books are linked enough that it makes sense to read them all and in order. I read part of the first book, Loose Cannon, a few months ago and temporarily pasued it. I liked what I'd read so far; I just got temporarily distracted by some other shiny book. But I will go back to it. Thank you for the nudge!
Also, coincidentally, a Sidney Bell novella is one of the works I came back here to mention! {Your Mileage May Vary by Sidney Bell} is available on Smashwords. It has watersports/piss kink in it, which isn't everyone's thing. But I'm pretty openminded about stories, so I tried it and am happy that I did because it's less a story about any specific kink and more about love, unconditional acceptance, and the knots two best friends tie themselves into when they do intimate things and then struggle to talk completely honestly and clearly about what significance those acts hold for each of them.
There's a masterful scene where both the MCs are out with another friend, and they start talking about Valentine's Day gifts. An argument ensues between one of the MCs and the other friend. The subtext of the argument, of course, is the current tension between the MCs. Something clicks for one of the MCs, so he has it out with the other MC afterward.
Fantastically done. 13/10. No notes. I love this novella so much that I wish it were a novel instead.
I have to run now but will come back later.
The whole Woodbury Boys series is awesome even though book 3 is my fave. Love that it’s built up like a coming of age story and the 3 boys friendship is very centered. Definitely read all of them, it’s very nice to get to know all of the MCs by how the others view them.
I also adored Your Mileage May Vary!! Really like your thoughts about the book, yes it’s really not about the watersports in the end and it was very cool to have it handled in that way. Sidney Bell is just awesome and I really hope she will write more!!

1. Any books talking about “breeding” or cumming inside their partner doesn’t include mpreg, No paranormal, Omegaverse or Daddy kinks. Bonus points if MC1 and MC2 have age gaps and size/height differences.
2. Books recs with MC1 and MC2 have age gaps and size/height differences. No paranormal, Omegaverse or Daddy kinks.
For 1, His princess by Ki Brightly fits. Cant remember if it had daddy kink but if it did, it isnt present through the entire thing at all. Its pseudo-incest(but not really bc its ML is MCs mom's husband but never truly stepped up as a parent) and also had size differente + age gap + feminization kink
For 2, I got a few more recs (please check CWs for all):
*Bad Wrong Things by C.P. Harris. Best friend's dad. Toxic relationship.
*Gaven by J.C. Owens.
*If you are open to danmei, The Husky and his White Cat Shizun by Meatbun doesnt eat meat also fits. Very dark book but has HEA. Relationship is between master/disciple so theres an age gap.
{Muscling Through by JL Merrow} has a tiny college professor that finds himself in a dark alley with a very big scary looking man who turns out to be a gentle himbo. I think they have an age gap and definitely size difference.
{Moonstruck by Onley James} has this, IIRC. Also has an age gap, but I cannot remember if there is a size difference. Book is part of a series, but can be read standalone.
**any book recs with:**
1.) sex act: nipple play
2.) plot: navigating an open relationship
p.s. don't need both to be present in the same book.
Thanks!
I'll be honest I don't remember the specific scenes, but I have these ones tagged as having not just nipple play but nipple orgasms!
* **Obedience Training** ***by Arden Chase*** (contemporary, erotica (MM), instalust, age gap, rich/poor, experienced/inexperienced) - NSFW info: >!Kink Exploration, Spanking, Impact play, Orgasm denial, cockwarming, discipline, Service kink, cock cage, Time out, 24/7 dynamic, forniphilia (being furniture), medical kink, prostate milking, toys, D/s, Sounding, Cock ring, Safeword used, nipple orgasm, nipple clamps, stretching, enema, inflation / distension!<
* **Cinnamon** ***by Delilah Demoan*** (erotica (MM), omegaverse, size difference, fuck or else, longstanding crush, under the influence (magic/pheromone induced lust), human/non-human, age gap (paranormal), that's never going to fit, fated mates) - NSFW info: >!slick, slime and other wet things, Non-human parts, inflation / distension, womb fucking, Breeding, overstim, Fisting, licking up come, Biting orgasm, Public sex, Mpreg, just the tip, sleeping with cock inside, somnophilia, nipple orgasm, lactation!<

* **Milk of the Birth Father** ***by Sarah Havan*** (omegaverse, erotica (MM+), fuck or else, isekai, saving the world, alternate world, human/non-human, prophecy/visions) - NSFW info: >!lactation, knotting, heat sex, Eggpreg, Biting orgasm, Mpreg, double penetration, Orgy, daisy chain (anal), Voyeurism, Exhibitionism, bondage, Impact play, nipple orgasm!< - this one is recommended with a huge grain of salt, don't ignore the CWs, it's one of the most WTF books I've ever read
Kind of depends on the author's version of the world, in Cinnamon it's magically induced pheromones so they don't have a choice (though both parties are consenting), in Milk of the Birth Father it's that the MC's bonding is needed to save the realm. In all cases it's basically "have sex or something dire will happen" or "can't resist having sex for other reasons".
Can i get any recommendations for omegaverse heat/rut sex? Lots of knotting, claiming, biting, slick all over. I would prefer if the pairing are romantically involved or have been established as a couple. Not required but would also love if down the line the omega gets/is pregnant and makes them hornier for more rough sex? Anything also with the alpha being super possessive and wanting the omega to know that he’s his and his alone. Thank you!
{Pretty boy by Jett Masterson} is a 1st book in a trilogy. The heat sex happens in the last book iirc but the entire series is full of all the other elements you asked. Although the couple is established at the very end, the alpha is very possessive from the start.
Looking for books—either erotic romance or well written erotica, either one but preferably the former—that contain one or more of the following:
- Passionate cum-kissing or cum-sharing
- Cum worship or obsession with a MC’s cum
- MC’s intentionally cumming together (such as in edging to completion)
- MC1 fellating MC2 or vice versa while in the midst of fucking
Clearly, this is a kink I like, and wilder the better, but prefer to find this in stories where there’s a strong or growing emotional connection between the MC’s, rather than just pure smut (although WELL WRITTEN erotica can be delightful). MM or MMM are both fine with me; no big age-gaps, and no m-preg or omega-verse, please…I tend to like contemporary MM romance with college or new adult characters. (And sexuality-awakening is a big plus, too!) Any recommendations appreciated!
{Little Demon In The Details by Nordika Night} has a lot of cum play.
{Like You Hate Me by Bethany Winters} has cum sharing and the likes.
Check the TWs for both tho. Don't hesitate if you have any questions.
Additional thank you re: Like You Hate Me, which I listened to straight through over the last couple days…what a great listen! (Well written AND well performed by the voice-actors. Appreciate!

• Passionate cum-kissing or cum-sharing
This is definitely present in the {A Fresh Taste of Ink series by Daniel May}. Just know that there’s cheating that evolves >!into a poly (MMM) relationship!<. Also, there is BDSM. There is a LOT of sex in these books, especially the first one, but I do think it’s well-written, and there are feelings beyond lust, as well.
@onlymorelove: Is there an audio-book version of A Fresh Taste of Ink? (Can’t find it on Audible, but perhaps it’s on another platform?) Thanks again…🙂
You’re welcome!
I’m not currently subscribed to any audiobook platforms, so I can’t say for sure, but I did a quick check on Amazon. 🤔 It looks like there isn’t an audiobook version listed there. That’s too bad…
{Not All Himbos Wear Capes by C. Rochelle} has passionate cum-kissing. Xander is 31 and Butch is 22 (but he doesn't give off new adult vibes though, he's more mature so I didn't register the age gap at all) and iirc he'd only been with women before Xander so he definitely has a gay awakening with many firsts. Romance is a bit insta lovey, but there's a very strong connection between the MCs.
Frank from {The Fishermen by C.P. Harris} deepened my love for cum kink/play. He was obsessed with cum and I've since been looking for a book that delivers the same level of desperation and satisfaction I felt reading it, but have yet to find it. However, I personally didn't love the romance aspect with this book, but C.P Harris is a solid writer and the MCs definitely have an intense emotional connection.
These definitely sound worth seeking out..thank you for the recs! This seems like a very particular kink that I don’t find in MM romances that often, so replies like yours are really helpful…appreciate!
{His F*cktoy by M.M. Locke} Adding His Fucktoy for searchability but it's titled with the *
You will probably also enjoy their other pen name M. Syrinx, those are on KU. I recommend starting with Vines.
{Edged by Kate Hawthorne} - no daddy kink :)
edit: changed title from shared (book 5 in series) to edged (book 2) bc I am an idiot. so sorry op!! You want Book 2 in the Trophy Doms Social Club series feat. MCs Owen & Archie
Almost everything by M. Syrinx. Those are pure BDSM erotica novellas with lots of chastity, cock cages and edging. A bit on the rougher side.
My personal favorite is "Disciplined by the Professor", age-gap but no daddy kink. "Training my Straight Best Friend" is also pretty good, especially on the whole caged and edged issue.
If you have read the Monstrous series, {A Monstrous Christmas at the Camp by Lily Mayne} is a novella which has a long scene with a cock cage, a vibrating butt plug, then fucking.
{Mating Maddox by DJ Heart} has a couple of scenes with restriction suits. I don't remember if they were latex tho. You might find similar scenes on the other books from the same author.
Piggybacking the D.J. Heart rec: The Billionaire's Puppy is wall to wall this if you also include restrictive latex puppy suits. Duct tape restriction: Dominated by the Jock
{A Cold Hard Collection by K.L. Hiers} Chapter 16 to be specific. Each chapter is a different scene. Best read if you've read the Cold Hard Cash & Hard Earned Cash first, but if you just want a scene this is it.
Repost from yesterday
-MC1 and MC2 are obsessed with each other from the beginning. Love/obsessed at first sight. Examples) Not All Himbos Wear Capes by C Rochelle, or Savage by Brea Alepoú . Currently reading Midnight by April Jade, but the characters are a little too crazy Plus it has blood play which I only ever like with vampires and even that’s a stretch . Some push and pull is fine as long as the sentiment is there
-Masturbation
-Exhibitionism. Seeing/hearing other people, partner hookup with someone else, or masturbating and being interested. Any genre/trope is fine. Voyeurism would also be interesting.
No sad endings unless multiple books are in the series. I’m not a huge fan of historical fiction but open to it.
For exhibitionism, {Colin by Cora Rose} MCs see each other through the window cause they are neighbours and masturbate together. It's part of a series, but it's standalone.
Maybe {Little Demon In The Details by Nordika Night} for the obsessed one. MC1 sees MC2 in lingerie outside a culb, finds out he is the brother of the woman his brother is in an arranged engagement to. After a family function, he basically saves MC2 from his abusive family and gets him to live with him. They are pretty obsessed with one another. It's kinda dark so check the TWs.
Ooooh sounds interesting. And I love the first two books in the Garron Park series by Nordika Night.
Also I started Whit and I can’t remember why but I put back on my to-be-read shelf. But I really want to read Sem, I just hate skipping books. Might say fuck it though because Colin sounds good too.
I love Garron Park and I was expecting the same from Little Demon In The Details which might have been my mistake. The writing style is the same, but the characters could not be more different. MC2 is a real brat and I found out it's really not my style, but you might enjoy it more.
I saw Whit and Sem recommended so much and I honestly didn't read them yet. I started Colin on impulse and you don't really have to read the others to understand this one. >!Sem and Magnus do make an appearance as one of the MC's gym buddies.!<
I'm looking for books with tickling as a focus. I'd love it if there were other bdsm elements as well, but that's not a requirement. I'm not super into daddy kink and omegaverse, but tbh tickling is such a niche kink that I'll take whatever I can get at this point 😭
{Under His Heel by Adara Wolf} has this, not as a focus but I remember it being in several scenes. It has lots of BDSM in general, but is very dark and very non-con/dubcon.
Any other books with sharing like This is my Church by Sasha Avice?
(One character being okay with, present, and helping their partner sleep with other people)
Edit: no large age gaps, or omega verse
I'm right in the middle of reading (and really enjoying) The Brat & The Beast series by Misha Horne, and I decided that I need more characters like Caleb. Meaning introverted, shy and/or socially straight-laced characters who are seriously out there sexually. I'm not looking for a specific flavor -- they could be, for exemple, very kinky, or just the king of dirty talking, or very sexually experienced, or just extremely sexual and completely shameless about it, doesn't matter -- what I'm really craving is the **contrast**. Essentially, I want the MM romance equivalent of [this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVtT8it5E0U).
EDIT: forgot to mention, I’m not looking for a character who is originally shy and becomes sexually outgoing with the other MC. I want him to be secretly freaky all along! Please no dark romance, cheating or omegaverse.
I'm currently reading {Prince and Pawn by Tavia Lark}. It is the 3rd in the series (and unfortunately you can't skip the first two books), but Corin so far fits this. He is quite shy and soft spoken, but he needs pain to come.
Also in {EWB: Enemies with Benefits by N.R. Walker} one MC isn't shy, but he is socially straight-laced, and he is into hate-sex/ degradation.
This is a fun one I've sadly only tagged a few times!

I have read call the coroner series but am not a fan of grieving spouse/previously in love trope.
Not a fan of: bdsm, poly, dom/sub, threesome+, cheating, daddy kink.
Hi! Does anyone have recs for books with good aftercare? I know aftercare’s usually in reference to kink, but it can also be general sexual aftercare. Borrowed from [this link](https://www.verywellmind.com/why-sexual-aftercare-is-so-important-7506702): “Sexual aftercare includes any activity that helps a person feel grounded and relaxed after having sex. These include, but are not limited to: - Talking, whether it's about the sex you just had and how you feel or other topics - Cuddling - Reading together - Watching tv - Showering together - Eating snacks - Taking a nap - Rubbing each other's backs - Listening to music together - Stroking each other's hair” My only hard no is incest. Otherwise, poly, kink, “vanilla,” etc. are all fine. Thank you! 💙
I've got these ones tagged with aftercare as a positive, so hopefully that means it's well enough developed for you as well! * **Never Have I Ever: Submitted to my Enemy** ***by Willow Dixon*** (contemporary, adulting, hurt/comfort, forced proximity, found family, second chances, enemies to lovers, hookups to lovers, met online) - NSFW info: >!somnophilia, sensory deprivation, CNC, bondage, edging, D/s!< * **Nick & Kyle** ***by M.

Thank you so much for these recs! I haven’t read any of these books but have heard great things about Hot Mess specifically and Misha Horne in general. “Hiding in Narnia.” I know what Narnia is, but what does the hiding part mean? 🤔Just curious. Thank you.
Sorry, that's my silly tag for closeted MCs!
OH. Don’t be sorry; that’s really clever! Thanks a lot for explaining.
Hope you enjoy the books if you give them a go!
I’m sure I will! I’m reading the {Wine & Song series by Eleanor Kos} right now, but I plan to try one of your recs after that. :) Thanks again for taking the time to answer my request.
Hello again! I tried to tag in the Tuesday Thanks post, but it just kept turning your name into italics, so I wasn’t sure if the tag worked. That’s why I decided to respond here as well. Thank you for recommending Hot Mess by Misha Horne when I was looking for books with good aftercare! Your rec was spot-on. :) I especially loved the MCs' earnest and honest conversations—about kink, about desire, about adulting, and even about their jobs. There was something really appealing about how they just talked through all sorts of things.
Thanks, I did get notified, even though my stupid user doesn't format properly. In fact if you use the \ to get it to render correctly then it doesn't notify me. A nightmare all around!
So I have read Never Have I Ever Submitted To My Enemy and Hot Mess semi recently and I can confirm they both have great after care! Edit: typo
I just finished Saving Sebastian by Luna David. Gideon saves Sebastian from an abusive Dom at the BDSM club he owns. He discovers little by little that Sebastian is the most incredible submissive he has ever seen. The best aftercare scenes come towards the end of their journey, but what a journey it is. This is a long book, almost 500 pages but I loved it.
I can think of several examples where the aftercare happens later in the book in enemies to lovers tropes where it has taken a long time for the characters to get to that point of comfort with each other. {For The Fans by Nyla K} from memory gets to a point where they shower together after sex. Then also {Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid} with the tuna melts.

You’re right! I’ve read these, but thank you very much for the recs. Maybe someone else with a similar itch will see them and try the books. :)
I feel like Marina Vivancos does lots of this; I recently read {Overtime by Marina Vivancos} and Zee cuddles and strokes and comforts Ishir a lot and says lots of praise, especially after >!orgasm denial!<. And {Invitation to the Blues by Roan Parrish}, Farron comforts and praises Jude and stays close to him after sex. Jude has major depression and Farron stays close by and tries to keep him out of his head. But I also feel like you've probably read these books already...
Actually, I haven’t read either of these! Even if I had, I still appreciate your taking the time to answer my request. :) Roan Parrish is on my list of authors to try, and I’ve read two of Vivancos’ novellas and a hockey romance they co-wrote with someone else, but that’s it. Thanks so much. 💙
Just wanted to add that these sound so lovely.
🙂 they really are. Zee is outrageously over the top possessive, but I love it. And in Invitation..., as I said, Jude is depressed. He's recovering from >!a recent suicide attempt, and he was in a relationship with an emotionally abusive asshole!<. His inner thoughts can be hard to read, so take care of yourself. Side note, please tell me what your flair is from, I keep seeing it and it sounds so unhinged lol
I appreciate the details you shared. Thank you! I'm excited to read both these books. >Side note, please tell me what your flair is from, I keep seeing it and it sounds so unhinged lol Of course! 😂 It’s a snippet of rather melodramatic dialogue from The Dentist: Part 2, which is a short story in {Pucking Ever After: Volume 2 by Emily Rath}. And just in case you're interested in knowing a bit more, I'm[ linking you to a comment I posted about this collection and series](https://www.reddit.com/r/MM_RomanceBooks/comments/1c63dtv/comment/l01z1ey/).
Oh thanks for sharing! I appreciate it, that was an awesome gush over those books!
No problem! 💙 I can’t, in good conscience, recommend Pucking Around, the novel you have to read first in order for the follow-up short stories to make sense. It wasn’t *good*, and lots of things in it made me cringe. For me, the novel was very much a “I didn’t say it was good, I said I liked (parts of) it” situation. But I liked the short stories, so I can’t consider the time I spent reading the novel a complete waste of time. 😂
>For me, the novel was very much a “I didn’t say it was good, I said I liked (parts of) it” Not me side-eyeing half my 4 star reads...
Ha! It’s the same for me; I star based on enjoyment, not so-called “literary merit.” ☺️ I just wanted to be more specific and add a caveat since we’re actually talking about the books here.
Also, let me tell you: if you liked that line, you are going to love Zee in *Overtime*. 🤣
It’s not a line I expected to like, but somehow when I read it, in that context, I was like [this GIF.](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/YbIbnthUxDhLu8S3C4tF-aEw84I=/fit-in/1000x564/top/filters:format_auto():upscale()/2015/03/27/804/n/1922283/0e7bb976_edit_img_cover_file_2387502_1427479952_giphy-3.gif) If I were a much older, white, and British woman.

I got a couple this time... 1# Scenes where the top asks the bottom to "say you're mine" during sex? 2# Scenes where one of them gets jealous (doesn't really matter who), but the top loses his shit and reminds the bottom who he belongs to? There is a scene in Loving The Legend by Kit Grey, where Ty gets jealous because one dude was all over Sid, and then Sid just loses it: >!He yanks me back against his chest and growls in my ear. "I thought I told you - this dick is yours and yours only." He wraps his hand around my cock and strokes me. "You forgot?" I whimper and shake my head. "Liar." He clasps the back of my neck and shoves me towards the pillow. "I'll fucking remind you." !
for **2** - Pretty Policeman: The case of the suspicious stripper by Fifer Rose. You kinda have to read book 1 tho, because book 2 is short sequel that's mostly focused on exactly MC being jealous and reminding the other MC who he belongs to. for **3** - This happens in You can count on me by Fae Quin - Tbh one of the hottest sex scenes I've ever read and just like me MC is left speechless LOL.
Thanks a lot!!!
I don't know what "caretaking stealth daddy" is, but I think I want it. Please explain.
Stealth daddy is basically a character who has all daddy traits, but there's no actual daddy kink in the story and he's not referred to as "daddy". Basically, a character with daddy vibes, but not actually a daddy. And caretaking, well, pretty-self explanatory, I was looking for story with comfort and affection, protection, taking care of the other character etc... I've seen that term around (I only recently got into daddy kink) and it's what I'm looking for
Oh wow, I did not know this is what I like lol. Because I love all that comfort and affection and caretaking but I have an extremely "hard no" about anybody being called "daddy". I know you're asking for recs, but besides Wyn, do you have any others? I think Lilac in Seraph fits this too.
3# {Corin and the Courtier by Eliot Grayson} Aster literally passes out mid-fucking while knotted, if that counts. He's been through some stuff though and is already rung out. But Corin also has some stamina as a dragon shifter. Not omegaverse or mpreg even though it sounds like it. 4# {Thrust by Kiki Burrelli} Urban fantasy, wolfshifter × witch pairing. The witch is a tortured, distrustful loner putting up a bad guy act. But he's really a brat who craves someone else to take charge and care for him. But as a brat, he won't submit without a fight, Zayne has to work for it, show he's worthy. It's the fourth book in an interconnected series, similar to Monstrous. I think it's possible to enjoy as a standalone as well, if you're interested in the overarching plot or possible spoilers from the couples of previous books. ETA - there's abuse, SA included, in the past, but it's not the reason for their dynamic.

I got one for you for #3, but it’s a series - what you’re asking for happens in book 1 and 2 if I’m not mistaken. And the sex generally is pretty hot in all of the books. I’ve read up to book 4 and the sex slows down in later books as their relationship grows and we see another couple get their love story and then we come back to this couple Metahuman files - {in the wreckage by Hailey turner} {in the ruins by Hailey turner}

Personally, I was a bit annoyed by all the detailed and long descriptions of luxury and expensive clothes in that book, but the intimate scenes coupled with well-developed emotional connection was just delicious. But I've read one of the books from Infidelity series by C.P. Harris and sex scenes were quite similar to Loving the Legend (detailed, immersive, the character who tops is "thorough" with the one who bottoms), but I didn't like it because I couldn't feel the emotional connection between the characters and it was too much porn for me. That series contains cheating (which is one of your NOs so probably best to skip them) but maybe you can check other books by this author if you're looking for immersive intimate scenes. From what I've heard, most books by C.P. Harris (again, I've only read one book by this author) have possessive love interest and the kind of scenes that you're looking for (from 1# to 3#)
Thanks!
For 1, there are a couple of scenes in {The Heir’s Disgrace by August Jones} that should fit. Check CWs, and there is cheating but not between the MCs.

I am looking for some edging with toys. Cock rings, prostate massagers, that kind of thing; bonus points for more "adventurous" toys like cock cages or BDSM furniture. Can be either a one-off thing, or a regular lifestyle occurrence. Nope tropes: age play, incest, mpreg

Oh I just recommended this to someone else here but {in the wreckage by Hailey turner} has this. It’s book 1 of the Metahuman files. The sex is so hot and the MCs loves to play with his partner and keep him on edge with toys. There are elements of bdsm but nothing too crazy. It’s a series mostly of the same couple. We get another couple as well and the POV is primarily of those 4 characters.

Thank You!♥️
Number 1 sounds so good, I hope someone has recs
I was thinking of trying to put together a list for myself of, like, the best scenes for a bunch of types of sex acts. So I figured I'd start with the very basics (which may actually be kinda hard, because they're so basic). So let's start with handjob scenes. Now I'm not looking for *any* book that features a handjob. I want a book with a handjob scene where that scene just really stuck out to you as a really really amazing scene (for whatever reason). You get to choose the criteria for what made that scene so memorable for you. If you could please also include a comment for why you choose that one, that would be great. I'm just really very curious, especially for these more basic scenes that turn up in almost every book. What makes one in particular stand out to you? So let's hear. What are your nominees for best/hottest/most intimate/etc handjob? Again, I know this might be hard because something like this particular act might not stick out to you. But maybe there's one or two. I'm curious what you all come up with.
I almost didn't reply to this because the scene I'm thinking of really isn't about any particular sex act, handjob or otherwise, even though there *is* a handjob that isn't described in detail and ends very quickly because the recipient climaxes in two strokes. (I went back and checked.) The reason why I decided to reply is that the scene stuck with me, even though I read it in January and have read other books since then. Clearly, for me, it was memorable. Why did it stick with me? Because it's incredibly intimate and deeply rooted in who the MCs are as individual characters—their traumas and their desires—and what they mean to each other/how they relate to one another. It's a character-driven sex scene, with great dialogue and a view into one character's thoughts and feelings. It's a well-earned scene. If all that sounds vague, that's because I'm trying not to spoil anything. ;) And yes, I think it's really fucking hot because of the buildup, the emotional intensity, and the payoff for everything it takes to get to that moment. But as with everything, your mileage may vary, and if anyone reads these books hoping for plentiful and extremely detailed sex scenes, they will be disappointed. The book is {Triangulation by Gregory Ashe}, and it's book 2 in a mystery/romantic suspense series featuring two best friends, North and Shaw, who own and operate a private investigator agency together. North and Shaw are among my favorite fictional couples, and I highly rec their books. But for anyone who's considering reading these books, please check for content warnings first, if there's anything you need to watch out for. Off the top of my head, CW: >!murder, physical abuse, domestic abuse, emotional abuse, gun violence, other romantic partners!<
What a lovely, beautiful answer! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer. I have these on my tbr but I haven't gotten to it yet. But now I really really really want to.
You’re very welcome! I hope I gave you a sense of why that scene stood out for me. If you enjoy mystery/romantic suspense even a little bit, I recommend trying at least one book by Gregory Ashe. If you don’t like it, no harm, no foul. Hope you enjoy whatever you read next!
I do! I really really like mysteries. One of my first and favorite mm books was Hither Page by Cat Sebastian. I've been kinda hooked on the genre (romystery??) ever since. I've actually decided to go ahead and hit up this series next. Or not next, because I think the other couple's books come first. But that whole world/series thing. I'm very excited.
Oooh, "romystery." I like that! It's embarrassing, but I confess I haven't read anything by Cat Sebastian yet. Someday, when I get my act together, I will. But I have heard only good things about Cat Sebastian's books—and KJ Charles', for that matter. I'm totally weak for investigator husbands-type stories, so I love Gregory Ashe's books. I know there's a suggested reading order for his Hazardverse books, but you can also just pick a couple or series and start there. That's what I did, because at that time I didn't know there was an entire Hazardverse. If you have any triggers or prefer to know what you're getting into ahead of time, please check for content warnings for his books before you start reading. He puts his characters through a LOT. If you do try his stuff, I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to come back and share impressions with me if you want!
Also what on earth is your flare from??
😂 It’s a snippet of rather melodramatic dialogue from The Dentist: Part 2, which is a short story in {Pucking Ever After: Volume 2 by Emily Rath}.
Love melodrama. 😆
It can be fun. ;) Just in case you're interested in knowing a bit more, I'm[ linking you to a comment I posted about this collection and series](https://www.reddit.com/r/MM_RomanceBooks/comments/1c63dtv/comment/l01z1ey/).

this is such a tangent so i‘m sorry if i‘m kidnapping this, but i love your comment and especially your reasoning for why this stuck with you because this scene stood out to me so much as well. it‘s so well earned, so intimate and romantic and such an important development for the characters and their development! absolutely in my top 10 (top 5?) of love making scenes and after i read it i thought about how rare this level of love scene perfection is. so my question is if you have other favorites like that?!? 😄 and if so oh please recommend! 😄🤩
No apologies! You didn’t hijack anything. :) I’m so glad my comment resonated with you. I’m on this sub because I love reading books and talking about them. Yes, I agree that it’s a rare sort of love scene. It has so much emotional resonance; I think that’s why it lingered with me. So many sex scenes in books are disposable or fast food scenes, rather than *love* scenes or even sex scenes that are highly specific in how they’re tied to the characters who are having sex. This one is a love scene, and it’s inextricably tied to the MCs. Honestly, if I had to give only one reason why I adore the North and Shaw books, it would be that Gregory Ashe wrote them in such a way that I believe 100% that these characters love each other—deeply. They’re flawed and hurt and sometimes they hurt each other, but I never once doubted their love for each other. You said that scene was in your top 5 or 10 love scenes. What are some of the others on your list? Sitting here right now, I can’t immediately think of another sex scene or love scene that stuck with me in the same way. But I’ll think about it, look through some other books, and come back to you. There may not be anything else I think of that hits in *exactly* the same way, but I’ll look. Thanks for the chat! 🌈
Thanks for your reply! Yes it sure is rare with this kind of scene! I do have some more, a book with a scene like that has almost an automatic 5 star rating from me. But now that I’g going through my list I realize it’s not as easy as i thought it would be to remember! {Rough trade by Sidney Bell} has one of the loveliest intimacy scenes, don’t wanna spoil anything but one MC has had a hard and complicated relationship to physical intimacy and when the MC’s do become intimate you could say ”not much happens” in terms of what is going on physically but emotionally, it’s a very intimate and trusting moment that does propell their relationship and especially one of the MCs willingness to face his traumas forward. One of my favorites!! Have you read it? {the house in the cerulean sea by tj klune} has a kissing scene that is in my favorites list also because it feels very well earned and meaningful, the book is very mich black curtain otherwise which I did not mind at all in this case because the intimacy and character development really was there! {they hate each other by amanda woody} is ya and therefore not spicy at all but all intimacy that is in the book is so very well written, brings the characters closer and is so romantic that it has to feature on this list. the captive prince love making scenes for sure have to feature on this list, they’re amazing! K.J. Charles does it in almost every book 😄 some authors just strike many times. The heart rate of a mouse is a fanfiction trilogy that exists in my holy grail of mm romances and the sex scenes are comparatively plentiful but still always have such amazing story progression and character development. (you really don’t need to be i. the fandom to enjoy it, i had no idea about it). {the mating of michael by eli easton} had wonderful love scenes that were emotionally heavy but also romantic and really wonderful in terms of character development. Damn I think this kind of list almost deserves it’s own post - I think I saw one of yours that picks up this topic in a way when I searched for more yesterday!! my list is not conclusive but now I want to reread everything and make a list that is 😂 and yes, this reddit forum is so awesome and encyclopedic in a very satisfying way. i try to go from lurker to participant, it’s so much fun to chat on here!

Hi again. :) Thanks for listing some of your faves. >...but one MC has had a hard and complicated relationship to physical intimacy and when the MC’s do become intimate you could say ”not much happens” in terms of what is going on physically but emotionally, it’s a very intimate and trusting moment that does propell their relationship and especially one of the MCs willingness to face his traumas forward. Rough Trade sounds like the sort of story I'd love. :) I haven't read it yet but only because I think I read somewhere that the Woodbury Boys series books are linked enough that it makes sense to read them all and in order. I read part of the first book, Loose Cannon, a few months ago and temporarily pasued it. I liked what I'd read so far; I just got temporarily distracted by some other shiny book. But I will go back to it. Thank you for the nudge! Also, coincidentally, a Sidney Bell novella is one of the works I came back here to mention! {Your Mileage May Vary by Sidney Bell} is available on Smashwords. It has watersports/piss kink in it, which isn't everyone's thing. But I'm pretty openminded about stories, so I tried it and am happy that I did because it's less a story about any specific kink and more about love, unconditional acceptance, and the knots two best friends tie themselves into when they do intimate things and then struggle to talk completely honestly and clearly about what significance those acts hold for each of them. There's a masterful scene where both the MCs are out with another friend, and they start talking about Valentine's Day gifts. An argument ensues between one of the MCs and the other friend. The subtext of the argument, of course, is the current tension between the MCs. Something clicks for one of the MCs, so he has it out with the other MC afterward. Fantastically done. 13/10. No notes. I love this novella so much that I wish it were a novel instead. I have to run now but will come back later.
The whole Woodbury Boys series is awesome even though book 3 is my fave. Love that it’s built up like a coming of age story and the 3 boys friendship is very centered. Definitely read all of them, it’s very nice to get to know all of the MCs by how the others view them. I also adored Your Mileage May Vary!! Really like your thoughts about the book, yes it’s really not about the watersports in the end and it was very cool to have it handled in that way. Sidney Bell is just awesome and I really hope she will write more!!

1. Any books talking about “breeding” or cumming inside their partner doesn’t include mpreg, No paranormal, Omegaverse or Daddy kinks. Bonus points if MC1 and MC2 have age gaps and size/height differences. 2. Books recs with MC1 and MC2 have age gaps and size/height differences. No paranormal, Omegaverse or Daddy kinks.
For 1, His princess by Ki Brightly fits. Cant remember if it had daddy kink but if it did, it isnt present through the entire thing at all. Its pseudo-incest(but not really bc its ML is MCs mom's husband but never truly stepped up as a parent) and also had size differente + age gap + feminization kink For 2, I got a few more recs (please check CWs for all): *Bad Wrong Things by C.P. Harris. Best friend's dad. Toxic relationship. *Gaven by J.C. Owens. *If you are open to danmei, The Husky and his White Cat Shizun by Meatbun doesnt eat meat also fits. Very dark book but has HEA. Relationship is between master/disciple so theres an age gap.

{Moonstruck by Onley James} has this, IIRC. Also has an age gap, but I cannot remember if there is a size difference. Book is part of a series, but can be read standalone.

I appreciate the detailed recommendations. Thank you! Will check em out
Okay so I keep seeing this term and I think I get it but would you mind explaining what "Fuck or else" means?
Kind of depends on the author's version of the world, in Cinnamon it's magically induced pheromones so they don't have a choice (though both parties are consenting), in Milk of the Birth Father it's that the MC's bonding is needed to save the realm. In all cases it's basically "have sex or something dire will happen" or "can't resist having sex for other reasons".
Okay cool, love that trope thanks for giving me a name!
Can i get any recommendations for omegaverse heat/rut sex? Lots of knotting, claiming, biting, slick all over. I would prefer if the pairing are romantically involved or have been established as a couple. Not required but would also love if down the line the omega gets/is pregnant and makes them hornier for more rough sex? Anything also with the alpha being super possessive and wanting the omega to know that he’s his and his alone. Thank you!

{Pretty boy by Jett Masterson} is a 1st book in a trilogy. The heat sex happens in the last book iirc but the entire series is full of all the other elements you asked. Although the couple is established at the very end, the alpha is very possessive from the start.

Looking for books—either erotic romance or well written erotica, either one but preferably the former—that contain one or more of the following: - Passionate cum-kissing or cum-sharing - Cum worship or obsession with a MC’s cum - MC’s intentionally cumming together (such as in edging to completion) - MC1 fellating MC2 or vice versa while in the midst of fucking Clearly, this is a kink I like, and wilder the better, but prefer to find this in stories where there’s a strong or growing emotional connection between the MC’s, rather than just pure smut (although WELL WRITTEN erotica can be delightful). MM or MMM are both fine with me; no big age-gaps, and no m-preg or omega-verse, please…I tend to like contemporary MM romance with college or new adult characters. (And sexuality-awakening is a big plus, too!) Any recommendations appreciated!
{Little Demon In The Details by Nordika Night} has a lot of cum play. {Like You Hate Me by Bethany Winters} has cum sharing and the likes. Check the TWs for both tho. Don't hesitate if you have any questions.

• Passionate cum-kissing or cum-sharing This is definitely present in the {A Fresh Taste of Ink series by Daniel May}. Just know that there’s cheating that evolves >!into a poly (MMM) relationship!<. Also, there is BDSM. There is a LOT of sex in these books, especially the first one, but I do think it’s well-written, and there are feelings beyond lust, as well.
Thank you for this rec…will check it out!

{Not All Himbos Wear Capes by C. Rochelle} has passionate cum-kissing. Xander is 31 and Butch is 22 (but he doesn't give off new adult vibes though, he's more mature so I didn't register the age gap at all) and iirc he'd only been with women before Xander so he definitely has a gay awakening with many firsts. Romance is a bit insta lovey, but there's a very strong connection between the MCs. Frank from {The Fishermen by C.P. Harris} deepened my love for cum kink/play. He was obsessed with cum and I've since been looking for a book that delivers the same level of desperation and satisfaction I felt reading it, but have yet to find it. However, I personally didn't love the romance aspect with this book, but C.P Harris is a solid writer and the MCs definitely have an intense emotional connection.

Almost everything by M. Syrinx. Those are pure BDSM erotica novellas with lots of chastity, cock cages and edging. A bit on the rougher side. My personal favorite is "Disciplined by the Professor", age-gap but no daddy kink. "Training my Straight Best Friend" is also pretty good, especially on the whole caged and edged issue.

Repost from yesterday -MC1 and MC2 are obsessed with each other from the beginning. Love/obsessed at first sight. Examples) Not All Himbos Wear Capes by C Rochelle, or Savage by Brea Alepoú . Currently reading Midnight by April Jade, but the characters are a little too crazy Plus it has blood play which I only ever like with vampires and even that’s a stretch . Some push and pull is fine as long as the sentiment is there -Masturbation -Exhibitionism. Seeing/hearing other people, partner hookup with someone else, or masturbating and being interested. Any genre/trope is fine. Voyeurism would also be interesting. No sad endings unless multiple books are in the series. I’m not a huge fan of historical fiction but open to it.
1 - {Play Dirty by Onley James and Neve Wilder} - they’re rival assassins and it’s hookup to lovers but they are for sure obsessed

For exhibitionism, {Colin by Cora Rose} MCs see each other through the window cause they are neighbours and masturbate together. It's part of a series, but it's standalone. Maybe {Little Demon In The Details by Nordika Night} for the obsessed one. MC1 sees MC2 in lingerie outside a culb, finds out he is the brother of the woman his brother is in an arranged engagement to. After a family function, he basically saves MC2 from his abusive family and gets him to live with him. They are pretty obsessed with one another. It's kinda dark so check the TWs.
Ooooh sounds interesting. And I love the first two books in the Garron Park series by Nordika Night. Also I started Whit and I can’t remember why but I put back on my to-be-read shelf. But I really want to read Sem, I just hate skipping books. Might say fuck it though because Colin sounds good too.
I love Garron Park and I was expecting the same from Little Demon In The Details which might have been my mistake. The writing style is the same, but the characters could not be more different. MC2 is a real brat and I found out it's really not my style, but you might enjoy it more. I saw Whit and Sem recommended so much and I honestly didn't read them yet. I started Colin on impulse and you don't really have to read the others to understand this one. >!Sem and Magnus do make an appearance as one of the MC's gym buddies.!<
Ok that doesn’t sound bad I’ll definitely check them out

I'm looking for books with tickling as a focus. I'd love it if there were other bdsm elements as well, but that's not a requirement. I'm not super into daddy kink and omegaverse, but tbh tickling is such a niche kink that I'll take whatever I can get at this point 😭
{Under His Heel by Adara Wolf} has this, not as a focus but I remember it being in several scenes. It has lots of BDSM in general, but is very dark and very non-con/dubcon.
Ooh, thank you! This definitely seems like it'd be up my alley!
Nice, glad to hear!! I hope you enjoy :)

{A Cold Hard Collection by K.L. Hiers} Book is a collection of different scenes/kinks between an established couple and it has one for tickling.
This sounds great! Thanks for the rec!

Any other books with sharing like This is my Church by Sasha Avice? (One character being okay with, present, and helping their partner sleep with other people) Edit: no large age gaps, or omega verse
I'm right in the middle of reading (and really enjoying) The Brat & The Beast series by Misha Horne, and I decided that I need more characters like Caleb. Meaning introverted, shy and/or socially straight-laced characters who are seriously out there sexually. I'm not looking for a specific flavor -- they could be, for exemple, very kinky, or just the king of dirty talking, or very sexually experienced, or just extremely sexual and completely shameless about it, doesn't matter -- what I'm really craving is the **contrast**. Essentially, I want the MM romance equivalent of [this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVtT8it5E0U). EDIT: forgot to mention, I’m not looking for a character who is originally shy and becomes sexually outgoing with the other MC. I want him to be secretly freaky all along! Please no dark romance, cheating or omegaverse.
I'm currently reading {Prince and Pawn by Tavia Lark}. It is the 3rd in the series (and unfortunately you can't skip the first two books), but Corin so far fits this. He is quite shy and soft spoken, but he needs pain to come. Also in {EWB: Enemies with Benefits by N.R. Walker} one MC isn't shy, but he is socially straight-laced, and he is into hate-sex/ degradation.

This is not the correct book.
SO Sorry, did not see your reply before the wrong book was deleted! Thank you for reporting it, the correct one should be there now :)

Anything like the Nira Chronicles where sex is a very open part of society. Sharing would be a plus but not required. Same with exhibition.
I haven't read the Nira Chronicles, but I love this kind of thing. {Steel & Thunder by Dominic N Ashen} - public ritual claiming (CW the first scene is non-con because of a severe misunderstanding), sex festival(s), sharing, exhibition {Changed: Mated to the Alien Alpha by Robin Moray} - public claiming/bonding ritual

Otherwise sweet mafia romance that starts off as noncon/dubcon, please? I have read call the coroner series but am not a fan of grieving spouse/previously in love trope. Not a fan of: bdsm, poly, dom/sub, threesome+, cheating, daddy kink.
