If you've got at least one main "romantic" relationship and there's the idea of an HEA, then it's erotic romance. <BR/><BR/>Peter's logic seems faulty to me, though. I know lots of guys (gay and bisexual) who fuck, but don't allow themselves to be fucked. Some guys are just not bottoms (no pun intended). <BR/><BR/>As for the idea of a bisexual man who chooses to have sex mostly with men but does on occasion fall in love with women, I could always introduce you (or your editor) to my best friend. This pretty much sums him up. Right now he’s sleeping with man, but in love with a female opera singer.Kalen Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216420943081679978noreply@blogger.com
