            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 😄

    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.

    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.

        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.’

      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.

              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.

    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.

        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.

    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.
