Reverse harem vs. ménage vs. polyamory
Honestly, I love all three! 🥰 And it’s in the spirit of the #WhyChoose movement not to pick just one.
Everyone thinks they know the difference, but when it comes right down to it, we don’t all agree. 🤔 Head on over to my Facebook group to join the debate with other RH lovers!
Indeed… Why Choose?
The graphic above sums up my opinion. In ménage, you can have threesomes, but the focus is often on the “hinge” character, the one in the middle of the V. The red-headed woman, in this case.
By its strictest definition, reverse harem means our FMC has a harem of three or more men, who focus exclusively on her, even during group sexy times.
Polyamorous fiction can include any type of multi-person relationship of any gender. As a polyamorous person myself, I can tell you that when we diagram out all the relationships between us, it gets A LOT more complicated than what’s in this graphic.
Of course, many of us RH writers blur the line between strict RH and poly fiction, because various members of the harem might, um, interact with other harem members. And their stiff members. 😏
In other words, you can expect some M/M action in the later books of my series, Rejected Wolf Pack, Bound to the Vampires, and Our Fae Queen.
Find out more about the polyamorous aspects of Our Fae Queen and why that series is so important to me.
So many kinds
Our Fae Queen is reverse harem with poly themes throughout, and ends with a polyamorous happy ending. Angel is polyamorous from the beginning, and most Fae are polyamorous in that world.
In Bound to the Vampires, it’s common for witches in a coven to have relationships with all or most of the coven. That doesn’t mean there won’t be some jealousy from time to time!
In Rejected Wolf Pack, wolves mate in pairs, which presents some confusion when Freya starts developing feelings for all three alphas who rescued her in the wildlands…
