I loved this episode! I laughed out loud right along with you gals.
I nominate “Bring on the masturbation!” as the new slogan.
So funny I was thinking of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter novels right before Beth mentioned them. I will say about those however, that while the females are varied, the men generally aren’t. I can only think of one in the series that was dramatically different bother physically and emotionally than the other “heroes”. But I haven’t read any in awhile so that might’ve changed.
I prefer my romance and erotica to have a supernatural or urbany fantasy spin most of the time. (Surprised Beth that you didn’t mention my favorite, the Fever series though it isn’t straight up romance.)
My biggest turn-offs (and this applies to the Kenyon series) is when everything is heavily goth themed. Simply because its not my taste. When it’s applied only to a character’s physical appearances, I can wipe that away and create my own vision of them. But when its noted about the music, the settings, etc…it kind of turns me off.
My biggest trope dislike is when the book always wraps up with having a baby. I don’t understand why marriage+baby always equals happy endings. Why can’t a heroine choose not to have a baby? What’s wrong with portraying a woman having a fulfilling life without children?
Great job guys! Super enjoyable ep.
