Non-erotic MM books titles?
Hi I could use names of MM books with *no sex described*. Especially ebooks or books that are marketed as romance. I want to blog about how MM is not an innately erotic genre but am now having trouble recalling ehich titles had no on screen sex other than titles that are genre fantasy like Mercedes lackey.

I think Vanyel and Stephen were on screen, but not real explicit. Interview With a Vampire is erotic but no actual sex. (Louis and Lestat, Louis and Armand). Some of the other books as well, but in some where there are human characters those characters have sex with other humans, so you need to check each. There's a series of 4 books by I think Janet Morris, High Couch of Silestra, where two male characters I think become lovers, but I think it's all off screen. Not sure about that, it's been 15 years or more since I last read them.

Look for titles listed as Shonen-AI that the no-sex yaoi stuff.

The Charioteer by Mary Renault A Room in Chelsea Square by Michael Nelson Despised and Rejected by A.T. Fitzroy (older - 1917) The Hill - a Romance of Friendship, by Horace Vachell (also older - 1905) The Domestic Animal by Francis King - these all have a romance as a strong central theme Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin probably qualifies too, although I can't remember if it has any sex in it or not. I wouldn't think so, as it was published in 1957 Then there are lots of "MM" books which do have some sex, but they are in no way "erotic novels". The Tales of the City series has sex scenes, but no one would call Tales of the City "erotic". I can't quite remember, but I think even "Maurice" has a sex scene or two. And there is William Corlett's "Now and Then", which has an absolutely knockout, heart-stopping romance, and one or two sex scenes, but it is certainly not an "erotic novel". And then perhaps you could look at books I haven't read yet, like "As Meat Loves Salt", and "At Swim, Two Boys", which I understand are literary and serious. And if you want an example of an MM e-book marketed as a romance, with no actual sex in it, you could do no better than to mention the wonderful, superbly written and very funny "A Tail in Two Cities", by one T.H. Ailward.

Hi. Yes, I know, it's been a while. Just noticed this while I was looking for something else - see below - and wondered if I should mention my own books. 'All About Sex' does have a bit more sex than the others, but they're more romance than erotica. What I was actually looking for ... I'm not sure it was this site, but somewhere there used to be a list of gay/gay-friendly authors etc with their website addresses. I've been looking on and off (off and on?) for a few days, but can't see it. Is it here?
