I've written lots of gay erotic fiction and I get lots of good feedback on a website of posted some of them to. I want see if I can get them published, but I'm unsure of the route I should take. Any ideas?

Fold your work into eBooks and self publish on Amazon

OP, I wrote and published quite a bit of erotic fiction in the 90s. There aren't really very many options for publishing today except for a handful of anthologies which pay a pittance. All of the gay porn magazines that used to publish several stories in every magazine are now long gone.
You can check for opportunities on the The Erotica Readers & Writers Association website. I posted a link to their calls for submission page. Right now nobody is looking for anything. The going rate for an anthology is around $50 these days.
You can self publish on places like Amazon and Smashwords. Until you've established a following, you won't make any money. You'll spend more money on getting a photo for cover art than you'll sell. The market for self published erotic fiction is flooded with crap. People give it away for free and even if you are a halfway decent writer, you're competing against that.

I only paid $29.00 for my photo, and I have more than made back the money.

Self publish on Amazon. Good luck, R3 what name did you write and publish erotic fiction under? Was it erotic fiction for bisexual and gay men, or was it all types of erotica?
