: Re: How should you use sexually deviant monsters in fantasy? terror is a real and powerful thing. A monster is ever-so-slightly scarier if it violates you in some way.Â there have been many of these

Like all things in writing you write for an audience. There is no direct answer because each audience will have different tastes. If you're trying to scare your audience there are lots of ways to do this including or excluding a sexual monster. You need to answer the question why before you write one in. Why does this monster matter to the world, characters, and story. What is it a foil for? What does it say? Why is it interesting?

You can write whatever, so long as it is engaging. There is no native should. Should requires a moral architecture to create the emperitive. If you have such a moral architecture, or there is one you want to examine, then proceed.

If you write without reason, it will show.
