This study by Wu, Huei-Hsia made me think about the issue:
"Our results show that readers of romance novels self- reported greater sex addiction, greater sex drive, and greater number or orgasms required for sexual satisfaction than non-readers. However, contrary to expectations, readers had fewer sex partners and were older when they had their first thoughts about sex and had their first sexual intercourse. This pattern fits the Harlequin romance stereotype of nourishing a satisfying sex life in the context of romantic monogamous fidelity while at the same time vicariously fulfilling desires through fictitious characters."
So basically, women who read romance novels generally have higher sex drives and are more sexually adventurous while being monogamous.. which I guess are bonuses for their significant other?
So after reading this, what's your opinion??
