The problem is that booksellers are refusing to carry Black Lace because it's too naughty.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

So a story that's just one long sex scene would be okay by them?

As long as nobody says 'fuck'.

Black Lace, purveyors of porn for women, want only one sex scene per story
Wha....? The hell is that about? Dude, that's less than romance novels. I can vaguely understand wanting to cut back on four letter words (though frankly, I much prefer those to things like "her honeyed cavern" or whatever). But one sex scene per book? Just start a new line, y'all, don't kid yourselves.

Always Anti-fascist!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
It surprised me to hear, because the CW is that the two growth areas in romance land are inspirationals and romantica/erotica. Cue discussion of polarized society. So I was surprised to hear about an erotica line trying to go less, well, erotic.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
The other non-fiction book I'm currently reading (Courtesans : Money, Sex and Fame in the Nineteenth Century, by Katie Hickman)
I've read that, and founf it quite interesting. I'd re-read it. I also read Sedctresses and it was fun, although a little heavy on the GuRl PoWR!! slant sometimes.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Now I have a sudden urge to read a romance novel where the euphemisms are so vague and removed from the acts they represent that it's not possible to tell what's actually happening in a given love scene.
"When they touched, it was as if her windblown lace was being gently kissed by the morning dew" and so forth.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
And featuring a Spaniard, no less.
