So! I was pleasantly surprised recently to discover some serious BHM/FFA action going on in a novel I'm currently reading. (Which has made it very difficult for me to put down 
)
I gotta ask, since this is the very first time I've ever found anything like this inadvertantly - has anybody else ever found any BHM/FFA material in a novel?
(I'm saying novel because I could always scope out erotic literature online, which I often do... but it was such a bonus for me to find this sort of material hidden in a novel when I wasn't expecting it. A nice little surprise!)
The book I discovered this in is called Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold... sequel to her Curse of Chalice novel. (If you're not into epic fantasy this series will most likely annoy you.)
Most of the time I find that big men in literature are used for comic relief... and to some extent that is the case with this novel as well. The character I'm referring to is a very big young priest, which seems pretty unappealing at the beginning. However, the made-up religion this author has created does not require the holy people to be celibate, and I was very pleased to discover that instead of avoiding fat sexuality (as is frequently the case in fantasy - you get all sorts of heaving bosoms and rippling biceps but never an ounce of body fat on the kids) the author has gone out of her way to note that the priest often propositions various women, and the ones who accept are later found giggling and blushing.
I think this is in part due to Bujold's wish to create a paradoxical character (self-indulgent priest) but at the same time, reading further, there's a rather sexual dream sequence between him and the main female character Ista where his size is of great emphasis, and when he begins to lose weight later on during the novel due to the strain of their journey, Ista is described as remembering his "overflowing abundance" in her dream and therefore not being able to "regard this shrinking as an improvement" (Bujold 285).
Sounds like an FFA to me!
