Categorizing Stories

I've been rewriting a story that I started before joining Lush. It's about a brother and sister, and their respective girlfriends, who rent a cabin in the woods to celebrate graduating from college.

For around a quarter of the story, I introduce my characters and the plans for the cabin weekend and getting situated at the cabin.

For around half of the story, a strip poker game between the brother and sister and their girlfriends takes place. They have beers, lose/win rounds and clothes (until they end up in underwear), and joke around while commenting on each other's bodies and underwear.

The last quarter of the story sees them joking around and commenting on what happened during the game, before retiring to their respective bedrooms. The story ends with the brother and his girlfriend having sex and climaxing, followed shortly after by the sister and her girlfriend having sex and climaxing.

Would this story be categorized as group sex? I ask, because there are elements of other categorizes. But, I think the main one is group sex

Unless they're all bonking as a foursome, it doesn't seem Groupish to me. I'd go with College Sex as the category and tag it with "fffm" plus other acts that occur, like "strip poker".

Alright, fair enough. I wasn't sure because, on one hand, the group sex's description says having sex/sexual activity. I was under the impression that sexual activity could mean anything from actual sex to strip poker (because they're a group of people). But no, with two of the characters being siblings, it would just be the siblings having sex with their partners. Definitely not a foursome, in that context

if you even hint at you might be told to tag it as such.

Sorry, I’m not sure what you said

The word for family members having sex, that looks a lot like a typo for invest, gets automatically scrubbed from forum posts, so Manda's reply is missing that key word.

Right, well they wouldn't have done that anyhow in my story. It would just be with their partners

Sure, which goes along with WW's advice; if you called it Group Sex with a brother and sister in the group, that would have implications... 😆

Not sure how late I'm coming to this party, but I've written a story with a similar premise between siblings, and was told by the mods that it's automatically considered an "Investment fantasy" scenario. The distinction isn't just contextual - "investment" stories are considered outright illegal in some jurisdictions, so they have to be kept separate.

On the other hand, "investment fantasies" are a popular genre on this site, so that may not be a disadvantage for you.

Who told you that? PM me if you wish. As far as I recall, if there's no physical interaction or "phwoar I wish I was doing it with her instead" kind of lust going on, there's no automatic trigger for the IF category. It can go wherever makes most sense.

Thank you to whoever gave me advice. I decided to rewrite the siblings into being childhood friends, instead. There was just too much of a legal grey zone, and I’m not a strong enough writer to justify the former characterization. I submitted my story this morning, so hopefully it’ll be published by next weekend
