All it is is chat GPT levels of synapsis from the latest porn with a little “make sure doesn’t look like plagiarism” rubbed on it.
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*
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.
I had to read that a few times to fully process it. Then I realized that’s the back story for Kronar in Oglaf: https://www.oglaf.com/son-of-kronar/
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”
Me, a H-VN enjoyer: Why not both?
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.
What happens in claiming the sleeping beauty
lots of bdsm.
I see…
Now I am curious.
That one will leave you with some memories for sure.
Yes. In some weird way, they are the equivalent to pornography.
That is because they are.
Full of unrealistic unicorn men and women.
Where are you going? The vicar won’t be home for hours…
Explanation please.
Romance books are known for being filthy.
How?
I think they’re using “filthy” in the puritan way, basically meaning they contain words of sex
Sarcastic Gasp™
like “french kissing through her anus” filthy.
“…as he thrust his purple-helmeted warrior into her quivering mound of love pudding…”
Minimum
What the fuck.
that’s what she said.

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)
A fair amount of them read like uncomfortably graphic descriptions of a 13 year old girl’s idea of sex.
Are they written by men, for women?
Nope. Usually by women.
Haha, 50 Shades of Grey. Grey’s Anatomy is a TV series, a drama about surgical interns and their supervisors.
Thank you! I knew I was mis-remembering something. Now… what if they added werewolves to either? Would that make it more romantic?
Shades is already a Twilight fanfic with the serial numbers filed off. Werewolves were removed.
Graphic sexual stories for the purpose of getting women off.
Then women should love manhwas, right? Those are literally graphical.
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.
Once you pop, you just can’t stop 🤪
Once you knot
Fixed it for you, champ
Because they have whatever the author wants them to.
