IMO, this is nothing less that porn and whatever applies to men in this area applies to women as well.

And then there’s those romance novels, which are just as bad to women as porn is to men.

In either case, it’s adultery in the heart and inappropriate for God’s people.

Women need to be held accountable, too.

Sigh.

Terrible message, terrible writing, HORRIBLE characters, and it glorifies abusive relationships.

I suppose I could make a comment about how the concept of Christian submission to one’s husband has been severely reduced in today’s society, and so women are hunting for anything to fulfill that desire, from government to bad books and movies.

But I am so overwhelmed with disgust right now that I couldn’t really do my thoughts justice.

Could be the result of something that's lacking or broken in their marriage. It won't lead to happiness but they use it as a coping mechanism for what ever that is lacking, usually intimacy.

But partaking of porn involves looking at real people, participating in real people sinning, participating in some % of real people being exploited by contributing to the general demand for porn. Not saying that the bodice rippers are healthy by comparison or whatever. I just don’t see it as near as terrible for culture.
