Forced sed...I think that's often the confusion. Forced seduction in a romance novel is most generally only between a man and woman who truly desire each other, or the heroine discovers her desire for the hero during the encounter. Or, both of them do. <br />No, it's not always that clear cut. And, it isn't always that way. <br />However, I will say I see some hypocrisy. <br />There's this thing against so-called bodice rippers, yet I see the same kind of scenes playing out, only they're now called something else... whether the term 'forced seduction' is used, or now feeling 'captured' is being used.<br /> <br />And, honestly, what some consider romantic and erotic encounters doesn't do it for me, either. We're all different. <br /><br />I'm the same way. I only want to be with who I want to be with. I can't stand it if a guy touches me who I don't want. At the same time, yeah, I like feeling captured... but only by the right man. And, no, don't ask me out for a beer. Hate the stuff, unless it's homemade or micro-brewed. But, yeah, capture me on the dance floor.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141313224798481619.post-89796622459722730222010-11-19T22:06:36.368-05:002010-11-19T22:06:36.368-05:00Hailey, I can't see me making it through an ho...Hailey, I can't see me making it through an hour let alone a night.

Thanks.
Gotta...Oh, Gem, I love this history post! Thanks. <br /><br />Gotta kinda wonder why Bodice Rippers are being ripped on, though??? These days. Given there would be 'no' romance novel industry, as it is today, without them. Bertrice Small, famous romance author during that time and still going/selling strong, wrote about that *history* in the November RWR from Romance Writers of America. <br /><br />Where there's this much smoke... where's the fire? and why? New trend...?<br /><br />Beer or Bodice Ripper... hmmm.... if I dare say my choice in this current atmosphere, I'll be pummeled by someone, and not in a good way.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.com
