Does Reading Erotic Romance Improve Your Sex Life? Tell Me To Win.

Romance novels sometimes threaten the male population.  They feel that women get too many bad ideas about an idealized romantic relationship that men can’t live up to.  I spoke about this when Alan Elsner jumped up and down about it recently.

Erotic romance novels further polarize the population.

Yet there are some strong positive influences that come from reading erotic romance novels, and the most obvious one is the improvement it can have on your sex life, your libido, and your whole sensual outlook in general.

I tripped over a post written on Maggie Robinson’s blog, way back in 2007, here, where she opened up the floor to talked about the effect “straight” romances had had on women’s romantic lives.  Now, her blog is pretty low on traffic according to Alexa, yet the response was quite staggering nonetheless.  And she’s just talking about normal romance.

What sort of effect does erotic romance have on one’s sex life and romantic life, then?

I know what erotic romance has done for mine.  I’d like to find out if I’m a statistic or not, so I’m offering an inducement for you to share your stories with me.  Let’s compare notes.  Tell me your stories as much as you’re comfortable sharing, and at the end of January, I’ll give two random commentors a complete set of Destiny’s Trinities — all three novellas.
