I’m genuinely confused. I’m glad people are gaining confidence in their sexualities, but I just want to know why this blew up out of nowhere. I mean, I’m seeing erotica just out on people’s personal bookshelves, people are posting it to goodreads, listing it in tbrs and wrap-ups, casually recommending it to other people. I don’t think I’m super ashamed of what I’m into, but I like don’t want to shout it from the rooftops. It feels like coming up with a list of movies you want to watch and casually adding “Game of Bones.” I just want to start a discussion. I don’t understand this trend.

I don’t read erotica personally, but I don’t think people should have to hide those books like some kind of shameful secret. I also don’t feel like adding it to your TBR list on Goodreads really counts as flaunting it.
People reading romance/erotica is nothing new. It’s been a staple of the industry forever. Book communities in the social media space have developed a lot since covid times, and people now have active spaces to share their more niche interests.
