I’ve said that to my wife before “I prefer pictures, you prefer words, but at the end of the day, they’re both porn”
The other day my wife was watching YouTube on the TV while I was doing some chores. Turns on a video titled something like “The boy love Trump administration chart - with evidence.”
The narrator begins, “First I have to make it clear, Trump is an OMEGA.”
And I’m like, “What the hell is an Omega?”
And my wife just slips in casually, “Oh it’s a common boy love term that means a tough guy who can get pregnant.”
Women do not fuck around when cooking up smut.
Yes. In some weird way, they are the equivalent to pornography.
Full of unrealistic unicorn men and women.
As a young man I worked in a bookstore and when I discovered the amount of smut in romance novels it was pretty shocking.
Then I read the Claiming of Sleeping Beauty.
I was not prepared for that.
That one will leave you with some memories for sure.
Now I am curious.
What are they like? Are they all like Gray's Anatomy? (or whatever that book is named that's about fake S&M and rape fantasies)
whatever that book is named that’s about fake S&M and rape fantasies)
yes. but with more interspecies monster sex.
Because they have bigger members orrrr?
Look, werewolves are just hot.
Because they have whatever the author wants them to.
A fair amount of them read like uncomfortably graphic descriptions of a 13 year old girl's idea of sex.
Graphic sexual stories for the purpose of getting women off.
Haha, 50 Shades of Grey. Grey's Anatomy is a TV series, a drama about surgical interns and their supervisors.
Explanation please.
Romance books are known for being filthy.
How?
like "french kissing through her anus" filthy.
“…as he thrust his purple-helmeted warrior into her quivering mound of love pudding…”
What the fuck.
that's what she said.
Minimum
I think they're using "filthy" in the puritan way, basically meaning they contain words of sex
Sarcastic Gasp™
I wish the libraries Libby app had a 'no romance novels' filter option. It has gotten to the point where I am avoiding female writers just of avoid the inevitable romance trops creeping in.
Try reading what you write. Just to* avoid, tropes*
