Yes, despite all the negative things you've heard, research is now showing romance novels are good for you. Most of the Naysayers quote old data on lack of condom use and an abundance of bodice ripping. Research now shows the modern authors of this genre have included safe sex and more modern themes. But are we forgetting the purpose behind a good steamy book? FANTASY!
Do we stop a man from daydreaming about his favorite hottie showing up on his doorstep naked delivering pizza and beer to see if he remembered to fantasize about putting on a condom? Or asking her politely to set the beer down and remove her clothing? No we do not. We expect him to take her hard and fast. Chivalry be damned. Why? Because fantasizing is exactly that, an escape from reality. Why then are different standards placed on romance novels? They are not reality, and most intelligent women don't read them for their realistic commentary on life. They read them to be carried away.
