Seems like this question has to have come up, but I don't see it on a search. I'm curious about whether the hivemind feels condoms belong in erotic stories or not. A couple of friends recently told me that the mention of latex decreases the eroticism for them, and now it turns out my SO agrees with them. Which is a surprise, since in real life she's a staunch advocate of safer sex. She frequently jokes that her vagina thinks all men but me are made of rubber.
As anyone who's read my stuff knows, I can't write a sex scene outside a monogamous relationship without at least a condom. It actually breaks my immersion to try, I'll completely lose the flow of the scene. I used to write group stuff the way the sex-positive community mostly practices it, which for those of you who don't know involves a lot of barriers. These days I've toned that down, but I hadn't realized that condoms were an active turn-off and I'd like to get an idea how widespread that is.
The last thing I'd want is for my "hang ups" to detract from my stories. So what say you, hivemind? Condoms? More than condoms? Barebacking? What do you prefer in your erotic fiction?
