Romance novels?

Ok here is a question...

Romance novels a forum of porn? Yes or no and why?

This is my take on it. I posted this on Vincent David Jericho's site to all the comments other poeple have made to him about it NOT being porn. Here goes.

porn

n : creative activity (writing or pictures or films etc.) of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire

Therefore, it is a forum of porn. Not all forms of porn is "in your face, dirty and raw and harmful" or "dirty mag with sex just staring you in the face." I just find it humorous how defensive some people get when you start poking at "something as innocent as a genre of fiction." What does this "innocent genre of fiction" do? Like someone stated earlier it's about desire, not porn. Don't get me wrong desire isn't bad if your talking about marriage between a man and a woman or having desire to achieve a goal. This desire is a more of coveting a person. I think the books do the same thing to the minds of women as "porn" does to guys. Sure texts is used to achieve this so what?! There is a old saying that i believe goes "A picture speaks 1000 words" so how many words does a romance novel speak?

Let me know what you guys think?

  • I personally think its porn but in a different form. Whether you get a visual or get it in writing, it accomplishes the same result. I'll leave it at that.
