Poll: Sexy reading makes women swoon
Posted on: Tuesday, 7 July 2009, 13:27 CDT
Give British women a romance novel or a novel with a little raunchy sex and they're in heaven, a survey indicated.
The poll of nearly 2,000 women between the ages of 45 and 60 found romantic fiction was the most popular reading fare, preferred by 35 percent of those surveyed, The Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.
Steamy passages generated heat for nearly two-thirds of respondents, with more than half of the respondents calling sex in books titillating,
the survey conducted by Astral moisturizer.
On top of that, 10 percent more questioned about their reading habits said they actively chose books that featured lots of sex scenes.
This research shows that reading for pleasure is still an incredibly popular pastime for women,
Astral spokeswoman Trisha MacNair said. However, I am surprised to see just how many women liked sex scenes in books, with most telling us that there was a strong titillation factor.
Crime and mystery novels received 33 percent of the vote, and other
novels, 31 percent.
Not surprising, reference books were the least popular.

Posted by Claire on 07/08/2009, 08:45 I completely agree with this. I read erotic romance all the time. I don't even think the age range is, or should be, limited to over 45's either - I'm younger than that. There are loads of great places to get good erotic romance these days too like Total-E-Bound or Ellora's Cave just to name a few. I'm a regular buyer at both. It's great escapism - and I'm sure my hubby appreciates it too, it gets me in the mood! :) |
