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”
But it sure is difficult to furiously rub our clits with our right hand while holding a book in our left hand.
Then use the right hand 🤦♀️
Every day I get a reminder that it's weird I use my off hand.
You use your non-dominant hand to rub your clit? Sounds like a smart survival skill. Ready to flee the scene & jump right back into your daily responsibilities 😄
Me, a H-VN enjoyer: Why not both?

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.
That's a good video I highly recommend part 2
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/
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
Really bad bdsm, at that. I was curious what it would be like, considering anne rice wrote all the vampire novels that featured sex gods before meyer even had her wet dream, and it was just boringly blase 'girl gets told what to do while naked in front of strangers and is told she is beautiful for it and learns to love it.'
lots of bdsm.
I see.....
You really don't. Whatever you are imagining, it's more than that.
Now imagine reading it as a 19-year old who grew up without the internet.
Yes. In some weird way, they are the equivalent to pornography.
That is because they are.
Full of unrealistic unicorn men and women.
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.
What I don't get is why SciFi books even written by men have to have some form of love interest. Can't we field a story that doesn't have some major component wrapped around saving or recripocating some mate/potential mate?
You almost have to go to the YA section to find a story that doesn't have some corny, half assed love conflict.
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)
Haha, 50 Shades of Grey. Grey's Anatomy is a TV series, a drama about surgical interns and their supervisors.
whatever that book is named that’s about fake S&M and rape fantasies)
yes. but with more interspecies monster sex.
A fair amount of them read like uncomfortably graphic descriptions of a 13 year old girl's idea of sex.
