    I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss all romance/romantic as porn. Some of them are well written with a touch of the forbidden for an elevated experience.

    Not saying there aren’t bad pornographic books but dismissing a whole genre for some puritanical reason also seems ill fitted.

      Of course! There are classy romances. However, my understanding is that a lot of these “romantasy” books are exploiting young audiences with graphic sex.
