Let’s talk about the often-stigmatized world of romance and erotica novels. We’ve been led to believe that there’s something to be ashamed of in enjoying these reads. Why is that? Misogyny, both internal and societal, has a lot to answer for. What’s ridiculous about heroines finding love and experiencing the steamy adventures they deserve? Nothing at all.
Yet, the stigma remains. Many of us have likely referred to these captivating stories as “smut” or “trashy” at some point, perpetuating the very shame we should resist. Perhaps that’s why these confessions come in anonymously.
Escapism is essential! Everyone needs a way to detach from reality. Some find solace in binge-watching feel-good sitcoms; others prefer to be transported to fantastical worlds through novels where dreams come alive—along with some sizzling romance. Oh, those steamy scenes! There’s truly nothing like the thrill of reading a passionate encounter.
Confession #23661614:
“I devour romance novels nonstop, dreaming of what my life could be. The men in those stories make my husband seem like a forgotten piece of gum.”
Absolutely! These tales captivate us because the men within them prioritize the desires of their partners—pleasure, financial security, emotional support—can I get an Amen?
Confession #21658745:
“The only way I cope with this dreary existence is through reading and writing romance novels. Without them, I doubt I’d still be here. They’re my sole source of joy.”
Confession #23576979:
“I crave romance novels, but I worry I’ll just end up disappointed with my husband for his lack of effort. Why is romance so hard for men? Don’t they see how much joy they could bring?”
In our daily lives as parents, we’re often frazzled and overwhelmed—juggling snack requests, school runs, and mediocre meals. If you’re a woman in a traditional relationship, chances are you’re not having your heart stolen by a man who resembles Jason Momoa after a playful banter in a charming coastal town.
So, if we wish to escape into the pages of works by authors like Sarah MacLean, Nora Roberts, or Julia Quinn (just to name a few), LET US HAVE THIS!
Confession #25723565:
“I create romantic fantasies in my mind while doing tedious tasks like washing dishes. I’ve cycled through the same scenarios so often that I’m running out of new ideas!”
Confession #25753379:
“I’m secretly crafting a romance novel inspired by a past relationship. I never write when my partner is home, but he seems upset and I suspect he snooped on my draft. Jealous that it’s not about you, buddy?”
This isn’t to discount the value of biographies, memoirs, or heavy literary works. However, romance novels offer a guaranteed happy ending (HEA, for those not in the know, which means Nicholas Sparks fans can step aside).
Confession #16554359:
“I spend most of my day absorbed in online romance novels, wishing I could be the heroine experiencing blissful pleasure while managing dinner prep so no one suspects my laziness.”
Confession #19845509:
“I love reading romance novels. My only regret is starting in my 40s; they’re such a delightful escape!”
It’s time to release any guilt associated with enjoying romance and erotica. Life is too short to read what you feel you have to read rather than what truly brings you joy! Especially in today’s challenging climate, indulge in what makes you happy—yes, even if it involves reading about passionate escapades.
Confession #21230111:
“My partner and kids think I’m reading the news, but I’m really lost in erotic romance novels online. I love the idea of a steamy menage with two men vying for one woman—what a thrill that would be!”
In conclusion, embrace what brings you happiness and never apologize for it.
