Excellent post, PaulaB. One reason I read things like this is that I know many boys are not being brought up as yours and mine are ... and that boys who are familiar with these things (if not actually practicing them) are around my daughters.

It scares me that some mothers out there turn their head when the father is teaching
"This porn/sex will make him into a man"
mentality. Wonder how many demons that father has just handed over to his son?
Its a sick thing and I have seen it in action.

If a father teaches his son to treat women like the gift that they are from God and to treasure them..... this would not be a problem!! That is the MOST on the money statement I've read. Look, while I made the TIC remark about men needing to read what women read....the consistant, and I mean CONSISTANT theme in all these books is the man treasures the woman. He's crazy about her, protector and willing to die for her. All the other stuff asside. That is what these women are lacking and want.
That is why one reviewer rather snarkily wrote "We read these books to see men behave in a manner we never see them behave in RL."

Sometimes my wife reports back the stories she hears at these clucking hen gossip sessions with her girlfriends and it cracks me up. It's always the quiet librarian types who come up with the wildest stuff.

You know one thing I really love
about my huband is
He gets it
We have days that are
weird
frustrating
disppointing
but we also now that the hounds of hell would tear us apart if we let them.
So we decided long ago to really try to
give the other what he/she needs
So on days when I'm feeling girly..he knows what to do
On days when I am a roaring $%&*(\#...he knows what to say
on his days..I know what to do..(not wear my sweats ;)
if people would stop looking at other materials
and learn about what they have
relationships would last!!!

Never use an "outey" for an "innie".

I'm on the same page, too. :(

You wanna be the greatest lover on the planet? Walk away from the TV and the monitor and pick up what the woman in your life is reading. Or go hang out on some of the chat forums that discuss these books. Call it what you may; bodice ripper, Housewife porn, romance novel...whatever. THAT is what her real fantasys are.
Feh. Walk away from the TV, sure, but rather than picking up a Harlequin Romance, I think most women would appreciate you hitting the gym instead. That's just my experience, your milage may vary....

Nope,
seriously,
The women I know don't necessarily want hard body...it would be nice, but I still hear complaints of 'buff hubbys who don't have a clue'.....they want a guy who pays attention and listens to what they want.
That is what these books do...seriously, pick one up but....Erm, and it wasn't Harliquin I was referring too ;) I mean, that's soooo kindergarten!

This is a result of our pornified culture.

Don't ask how I came across this thread...
Just wanted to point out that not ALL women hate it...in fact some like it, for whatever that's worth.
Just for the record I know this because I talk to a LOT of women, (many of whom are way too open about their sex lives to strangers)...not because I've "been with" them.
