No -- the fact is that porn is what it is. Fictional characters, as long as they're adults, having sex is what it is as well.

It's RPF that's the problem for me.

I don't even look at RPF. It disturbs me on some level I can't explain so I tend to block it out and pretend it doesn't exist.

I hope you haven't seen the thing on Facebook. It basically boils down to any woman writing gay romance is just fetishizing gay men.

Honestly, what that really boils down to is: any writer who writes explicit sex is fetishizing men and women.

Thank you for saying this. I was just about to get into the reverse is true debate. Besides, any well written and romantic sex scene in a romance book is unrealistic, let's just be real.

Ha, I have really great, climb the wall sex. ;-)

Oh, I wasn't talking about a lack of great sex. I was talking about the sex is always perfect, never ackward, never ever messy, always seems to last for hours and the orgasms always seem to last five or more minutes mentality that crops up in porn, erotica or romance books.
