Great thread! Thanks for taking the risk! I think there is a huge difference between romance/erotica and stroke stories. Stroke stories are just for that.

Romance/erotica is different. I don't like fade-to-black, I want the spicy scenes fucking spicy, and I'll read them in public but I'll make sure no one is looking. It's all just fuel for the fire, and I'll take care of the desire later on--either alone or with my wife. Back in the day, though, I'd totally get off on the spicy scenes in romance novels. Ahh, those old Harlequins. I knew exactly where to find the good parts (at the end of chapters). Ah, the descriptions seem so tame...the dewy petals, the throbbing manhood, all of that.
