but no sane person takes fiction as their guide for how to live in reality.
I hope they are a smart because they sure don't have it going on in the looks department!

But tis true! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the descriptions of castles, pirate ships, wars in foreign lands, cowboys and indians and all the maidens involved along with their gallant men they romp with..without reading the details of the rompings, lol.
"He felt her silky thighs and kissed her mount of venus"
"I wanted him to insert his mighty pulsing sword into my moist warm sheath"
Shit like that made me roll my eyes. So..I skimmed.
OT:"He felt her silky thighs and kissed her mount of venus"

That last bit was indeed pretty cool, but I've rarely read a historical novel where the rapist is anything other than a vile piece of scum. Trollope and Thackeray, with George Eliot.Soap Opera writers read too many historical romances. 99% of them were the man raping the woman and they fighting and screwing through the whole book until they realize they "loved each other". *gag*
But the history parts were pretty good, which is why I read them. I skimmed the corny parts. Well..except for the woman that turned pirate after being raped, then shaving off his penis with her own sword and cramming it down his throat. That was pretty cool.
Many of my female friends have Gone With The Wind as a favorite movie.
Is this scene romantic, or is it sexual assault? Do women really want the lines redrawn concerning how men approach women?
All of them wrote like that in HISTORICAL romance novels. Not the harlequin romance stuff. Had to be historical in nature.But tis true!

Is that literally an accurate depiction of the verbiage of such passages in modern historical romance novels? I truly don't know for I've never read one. The only thing I know about modern romance novels is that there was a time -- maybe the 70s or 80s ? -- that women were all agog about some dude with long blond hair who appeared on the covers of a lot of them.
The passage you wrote sounds more like the dialoge of a pornograhy parody video/movie than like something I'd think a person would actually write into a novel....but, hey, perhaps not always be the book better than the movie? LOL
