Love With Style

For myself as a romance-a-holic, I love steamy novels.  I love reading about how the hero kisses, touches, and later on, makes love to the heroine and of course, possibly get pregnant.  Of course, in real life, the heroine is probably considered by the community mothers as a naughty girl doing naughty things that's why she got pregnant in the first place.  I don't think that the steamy descriptions in Harlequin, Silhouette, and Zebra Historical Romances are at all pornographic.  I personally think that it's a mature, healthy, real-life situation that's being described.  What's there to be shy about, right? This is how life is.  These are the things that happen in real life.  Is it not?  Some people are just a bit modest or shy about what goes on behind closed doors.  That's how some of us are brought up by our parents.  "Don't kiss and tell."  I am one of them.  ;o)  But that doesn't matter.  What matters is that these types of books gives the reader a fantasy that they could read about and enjoy.  I also think that there's a difference between reading about a love story involving steps to love including kissing, touching and making love compared to watching plain porn movies where the actors and actresses just jump right into the scene of having sex and when sex is done, it all ends.  I don't want to be sexist, but this just sounds so much like a man's smaller head thinking, going straight for sex and that's it.  Too harsh like the world sometimes.  With reading a romance book, it tells a story of love between a man and a woman.  How they first met, courtship and the steps that leads to them falling for each other and showing each other their love.  That's how it should be with style.
