Why is sex-as-punishment or sex-as-suffering elevated as art, but as soon as you see characters having sex for the pure pleasure of it, it's immediately dismissed? Why do we have so many graphic depictions of sexual assault and sexual trauma and so very few of sexual fulfillment? Rly makes u think

What I’m seeking:
-high heat queer romance where the sex is secondary to characterization and plot (example of perfect balance: I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself)
-Not cozy
-Not YA
-No “it was all a misunderstanding” bullshit.
-Bonus points for literary style
-Bonus points for science fiction

Marketing copy: “it’s [beloved IP], but queer!”
Actual novel: literally less sexual tension than [beloved IP].
Goodreads reviews: “they made the subtext text! Five stars!”

I also direct this at people say this is okay, "Because bottoms don't have to be subs." That's true, but also I don't care if you think a bottom is the most submissive person ever. The real problem is people thinking it's a 'woman's role' to be penetrated and submissive, unpack that mindset first.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but when men talk about their daughters this way, it sounds like them referring to property.
