Daniel Doesn't that apply to all the books you read?!?


Kristina Hahaha. I do read a lot of weird stuff. Especially lately. Once you start it’s like opening a door to a whole weird world. You think hmm this is weird, must be an aberration, and then even more weird stuff gets suggested to you… I blame algorithms.

Daniel 😝 I do get very tired of the same ol' tired cliche tropes ... weird and kinky can be ... uh ... fun? 😏


Kristina I think I swung too far into closed door clean Christmas stuff that I have now overcorrected into gingerbread gang bangs. 😛

Daniel 😂🤣😂 Hard to find that happy, kinky middle, right?


Kristina Clean roms need a warning label.


message 7: by Daniel (new)

Daniel And certain words need to be completely eliminated ... I don't care how dirty or clean the story is meant to be! Is there a less sexy word than "spend/spent" ... as in "they were both sticky with their combined spend" or "he spent with long moan"? I could go on for minutes with all the clinical, non-sexy words that should NEVER be used in these books ... but I guess that's a different conversation maybe. 😏 I'll 🙊 now ...

Kristina Oh if you want to discuss word choices and unsexy descriptors, I have days and days of rants for you. 😆
In books with women i can’t deal with ‘cream’ or ‘juices’, ‘dripping slits’ and ‘love buttons’. I’d prefer just calling it what it is over stupid euphemisms. Spent/spend is pretty gross and referring to cum as sticky is not cool (and also inaccurate). Often the word sticky is used to describe sexual fluids *sorry* and it makes no sense because sticky is the opposite of lubricant. Slimy would be a more accurate, but equally gross, word. 🤣
Sometimes I think that authors have never actually had sex with their descriptions. 🤣
Sorry, you opened this can of worms and now it can’t be shut.

Daniel 🤣🤭🤣 Right?!? 😆 Yep ... when authors try to make the steamy scenes PG-13 by using clinical terms or what they think are clinical terms! If you're gonna write a sex scene ... uh, well ... write it sexy! It ain't rocket surgery! 🤷‍♂️


Kristina CM Narcosta once used the word viscous 18 times in one book.

Daniel 😂🤣😖🤣😂

"Waggling" eyebrows seem to be a trope in and of themselves! 🤨


Kristina 😵‍💫
