Porno Versus Romance Novels

Feeling the need to zone out one night, I picked up a romance novel. It was about a woman who answered an ad in the paper from a cattle rancher looking for a wife. Basically the man didn't want intimacy, he wanted sex and somebody to cook/clean/have kids. The woman in this novel set out to change him, and ended up molding him into the perfect husband in only 100 or so pages.

The Christian Right is always in an uproar over porno. I think they should forget the porno and pay more attention to romance novels. It's romance novels, not porno, that's having a detrimental effect on the moral fabric of our society.

Think about it - romance novels encourage women to have unrealistic expectations when it comes to men. Then men in romance novels always have the perfectly sculpted bodies, are absolutely amazing in bed, either start out rich or come into money very quickly, and are molded into exactly the type of husband the woman wants, with very little effort. Romance novels encourage women to fantasize about the unattainable.

Porno is very attainable. With a fair bit of athleticism and a healthy taste for adventure, you can experience pretty much everything you see/read about in porno.

If you don't think my opinion is true, please send a male with romance-novel like attributes to me in Concho, Arizona.
