Every so often I see someone claim women only read romance novels for the smut but honestly I think the fact that romance readers choose whole novels with plots and character development and don’t just go straight for erotic short fiction every time kinda proves that’s a lie

Not to be too tmi but if I just want spice I am going for the short stories... that's rarely why I am picking up a romance book. Nobody wants all that build up to just use to *uncomfortable cough*
like, why do we have to pick between an enjoyable story and smut?
Not a woman but I love romance novels and fanfics, I read A LOT of erotic novels and the ones that only are about that with no plot and no good history are so fkng boring.
A erotic novel NEEDS to have a good plot.
Also, no one should be feeling guilty about pleasures that don't harm people.
" Breathless, She beckoned him into Her Boudoir...."
" I'm sorry ", He said...
" That has never happened before..."
" WHAT DO YOU MEAN BEFORE?? You KUMQUAT!! " 🤣

It's not good without plot and development. Women like seeing themselves in the place of the woman. Guy that loves you and grows with you is sexier than a guy that just... walked in.
I like picturing myself as a guy. I tend to write with devotion.
