please stop using reddit as your image host.
Why?
A lot of us are trying to get away from Reddit, including its tracking.
How does Reddit track you when you view content from their CDN?
Are you serious?! The same way that Facebook tracks you when you view content from their CDN.
You didn’t answer.
You can’t embed content natively from Facebook.
Meaning you can’t get .mp4, .PNG,…etc direct links.
On Reddit you can.
And you think direct linking is without tracking?
By clicking that link, I’m giving Reddit access to my ip address, (hopefully rough) geo location, my browser fingerprint, among other details that they may glean from cookies and if I had stupidly still been logged in to Reddit, they can attach that session to my Reddit account.
You don’t understand how hotlinking works.
When you click on the photo/video, you are just viewing/downloading a file from Reddit servers.
They basically get one thing, your IP address.
There is no Cookies involved, no further tracking.
THEY SAID PLEASE
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”
But it sure is difficult to furiously rub our clits with our right hand while holding a book in our left hand.
Every day I get a reminder that it’s weird I use my off hand.
And here I figured the popularity of online porn made most people ambidextrous masturbators. I mean, if a righty uses a mouse in their right 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 😄
Same as women watching celebrity news and men gaming: it’s just entertainment.
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.
So, I tried the first few chapters. At what point does it become illegal? (Spoiler alert. They explain how she was asleep for hundreds of years, but they also describe her little 15 year old body way too much)
Sure, the author can get paid for writing that. But if I request fan art or AI art of it, then I’m in trouble?
(I’m not requesting that art. Nor am I continuing the books. You can still tell the same story with a 25 y/o Prince and a 19 y/o princess)
It’s been decades since I’ve read it, so I wasn’t sure if I remembered that part correctly or I would have mentioned it. I recall another part where one of the princes gets raped that was really messed up as well. And just a lot of rape in general in that book that I thought was gross. I recall really being disturbed by it more than I was by The Clan of the Cave Bear because the latter presented the rape of Ayla (as a child) in an intentionally gross, traumatic and disturbing way, while Anne Rice wrote the rape of Beauty in an erotic way.
Anyway, both books frequent banned books lists. I read many banned books during my time at the bookstore.
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.
That one will leave you with some memories for sure.
Now I am curious.
Yes. In some weird way, they are the equivalent to pornography.
That is because they are.
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 mean, there are only so many ways to describe genitals 🤷♂️
You would think so, and yet, that '62 Chardonnay isn’t going to uncork itself grandma thought as she surreptitiously grabbed her favorite battery operated bottle opener and locked the door.
Damn, that really Mojo’d my McJojo, if you know what I’m saying.
He plunged his enlarged pleasure column into my glistening velvet chasm
And other such bizarre descriptors
life finds a way :)
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.
Women authors are such depraved pervertesses.
Try reading what you write. Just to* avoid, tropes*
You can’t tell me what to do. You’re not my real sin tax checker.
Full of unrealistic unicorn men and women.

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.
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.
And Twilight was a Harry Potter fanfic with the serial numbers filed off, weirdly enough.
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.
Soooo, adult women write books like 13 year old girls which sound romantic to adult women?
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.
It’s all the fur. Hard to have that level of energy output without building up a lot of waste heat, and it’s hard to void said waste heat when you’re insulated.
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.
Graphic sexual stories for the purpose of getting women off.
Then women should love manhwas, right? Those are literally graphical.
I’m sure lots of women do.
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
