    Porn. It's written porn, with more story.

      And why would I be shocked at someone reading erotic fiction?

      “More” story

      It’s not the lack of story that bores the heck out of me in porn made for men. It’s how incredibly stupid it is.

    I noticed in high school that a lot of the romance novels involve rape. Like a crazy amount of them start the sexual relationship between the man and woman with rape. Then the woman eventually falls for him.

    I am assuming that type of shit.

      It’s OK as long as he’s attractive. Or rich. Or both.

      That was a huge thing in the 80s. Even my mom was into that crap. Not really around that much from anymore, what I can see. Now it’s all hot asshole billionaire high school students.

      Nope, most will at most have CNC, albeit some might come in weirdly justified ways (e.g. in Lights Out the FMC ponders that her commenting on the MMC's thirst trap videos that she'd like him to break into her home etc., was explicit consent for him to do so).

    They tend to be fairly sexually explicit - think fanfic levels.

    At least that’s been my experience.

    Some men should watch Heated Rivalry with their significant others. Great bonding experience.

    The “Men writing women” subreddit are about sentences. “Women writing men”? They’re entire novels.

    It’s a continuum then.

  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.
