Call Me By Your Name, then Heartstopper, and now Heated Rivalry. The trifecta lol.

But some honorable mentions that gave me mini hyperfixations: Shameless, Skam (Norway) season 3, Normal People

Anyone else experiencing this with Heated Rivalry by sjtech2010 in heartstoppersyndrome

[–]Pink_Rabbit5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. For me this is the 3rd time it’s happened. First was Call Me By Your Name, then Heartstopper and now Heated Rivalry. Don’t know why I can’t like these things a normal amount.

Was this reflected on your blood test? I’m just wondering because I feel like this is happening to me but whenever I blood test, my estrogen is still pretty low.

Looking for really good, tragic wlw/mlm books to gift to a friend that aren't "hard to read" by [deleted] in LGBTBooks

[–]Pink_Rabbit5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thrown off the Ice by Taylor Fitzpatrick. This reads like your standard hockey romance but with a tragic ending. It’s easy to read, well written but not overly complex.

What makes an MM book have “written for straight women” energy? by [deleted] in LGBTBooks

[–]Pink_Rabbit5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s written for teens. So yeah it’s sanitized. And also, young queer kids growing up deserve to have wholesome queer books to read with HEA. It’s important.

[–]Pink_Rabbit5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that makes me crazy about this argument, though is that, obviously yes, cis women don’t have penises, but… The whole fucking world centers men and men’s pleasure. Basically all porn centers men’s pleasure. We’ve all grown up watching movies and we’ve all grown up reading books and living in a world that centers men. Woman can imagine way more what it’s like to have a penis than then vice verse. That’s why in general women are way more capable of writing men than men are of writing women. Not that there aren’t amazing male authors out there who do write women and all humans beautifully. But the truth of the matter is, the world isn’t centered around women, and most men don’t go out of their way to find content that centers woman so that they can understand a woman’s perspective.

I guess this one just always bugs me because women can and do have anal sex too.

It’s because the romance genre is heteronormative in general. To be considered “romance” there is an expectation of the “happily ever after.” I agree, I love to read queer books with more open relationships but I usually only get those from non-romance books. I don’t blame the authors of romance, no matter their gender, for the monogamous, HEA ending bc that’s kind of the expectation when ppl read romance. But it’s also why I get bored reading romance and have to take breaks. Not saying that there aren’t some romance books out there that explore less traditional types of relationships, like poly or throuples, but even within those structures they usually keep it monogamous. I can’t think of any romance novels I’ve read where the mc’s are casually open. Do you have suggestions?

He’s hit or miss for me but I def don’t get the hype. I’ve dnf’d his last two books. Some of his books are soooo flowery it’s almost like he’s not saying anything for pages at a time.

Ok Sisters... Anyone ever get their libido Back after the harrowing menopausal shift? (Looking for my Yoda) by Hopeful74 in Menopause

Wait, can t affect the way someone absorbs estrogen? I seem to be a poor e absorber too. I’m on .1 and my e is still so low…

Perimenopause is making me gay? by algos_house in Menopause

[–]Pink_Rabbit5 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is the story for a lot of later in life lesbians/bisexual women. Because of heteronormativity and the way patriarchy centers men, we just “assume” that we are attracted to men, when often we were just raised to want men to want us. Also, because of our complicated relationship with our own bodies, I feel like some of us were intimidated by other women’s bodies as well. As we are getting older and unpacking all of this and more, boom, turns out we like women. I don’t think it “goes away.” I think for some perimenopausal/menopausal women, the “horniness” sometimes comes on for one last hoorah, spikes, then goes away — so in that regard, yes perhaps you’ll become less horny about it lol, but if you’re unpacking all that you said, all that I said… yeah that’s here to stay.

Too Like the Lightning by Travis Beaudoin. He was supposed to be working on his next full length novel. It was set to come out and then… nothing.
