I'm going to put this one out there as I'm back into that grey area when it comes to genre-ising my next story, so looking for some recommendations. Here's a synopsis of the story (to be submitted as a single story rather than chapters)

Amy is nineteen, never had a boyfriend, and still loves to babysit. The reason she loves to babysit? Well, most of that is down to who she babysits for and the fantasies she has about her uncle (Jack). His wife (Suzanne) misses nothing and soon brings up Amy's affections in a post-coital conversation after an office party. Suzanne is convinced that Amy wants nothing more than to bed her husband. Jack dismisses the whole thing, but agrees to play along with Suzanne in order to find out just what Amy's intentions may be. The story then explores the dynamics between Niece, Uncle and his wife, as Amy continues to babysit.

In terms of content, there is MF sex between Jack and Suzanne, along with the sexual tensions between Jack and Amy (I'm not going to say here whether they get it on or not as that would be a spoiler). So my dilemma is where to put the story...

Erotic Couplings . . . probably where my mind is, but does this work with 3 key characters?
First Time . . . I could see this as Amy has never been with a man before, but the story isn't purely about her virginity so will that be off-putting for readers in this genre?
Group Sex . . . yes there are 3 main characters, but each sex scene is primarily about 2 out of the 3 so this one doesn't seem right
Incest/Taboo . . . okay, so at first I thought here, but is Uncle-Niece actually incestual? I guess it would definitely be taboo.
Romance . . . just doesn't seem right for an Uncle-Niece type of relationship

So, any recommendations? Am I still within the bounds of I/T?
 
I publish in only one of those categories (GS), but from my perch in the peanut gallery, what you outline is almost the definition of I/T - sex between blood relatives. It doesn't have to be strictly between siblings or parent/child. Go for it.
 
Uncle-niece definitely is incest, and according to the norms by which things are categorized here, the story clearly belongs in the incest category.
 
Yep, Uncle/Niece is Incest. There's a fair chance it would get moved there even if you chose a different category.
 
I think it's I/T. That's a trump category, typically.

If there was no blood relationship, Mature is where I would put it. Babysitter stories are a bread-and-butter part of Mature.
