Satire Anyone?

Okay, I don't like to admit it, but I read Romance Novels. No, not the trashy Harlequin novels with the half naked men on the cover, but the ones that actually have a story to them and only a bit of sex. But I have come to the conclusion that, no matter what period, all romances are similar. There are certain things said and done in parts of these books that make me laugh. And sadly most of them revolve around the sex scenes, especailly in the historical romances. Many times, these novels take place in London in the early 1800s. Women did not wear underware (for obvious reasons...if you can't figure it out...email me) which made it very easy to steal away and have sex anywhere they wanted, even in carriages. I was reading a book not to long ago and the two main characters (male and female) were riding in a carriage having sex, fully clothed. I understand how this can be, unbuttoned fly...skirt around the waist. But no where in these books does it state the obvious. The confines of these carriages were very small...knees touched knees.

But that's not what bothers me. It's the fact that no one ever has visible love stains on their clothing (yes, maybe a cloak here or there). And the fact that, sans undergarments, nothing is running down the women's legs after their trift. Okay, so maybe that's a little disturbing to read in a blog. Whatever. Think people.

I know these books are supposed to be read for pleasure and I do enjoy reading them. They are fantasies that we can live while reading them. But I have come to the conclusion that I am going to write a Satire based on all the Romance Novels I have read. I think this is a great idea and can't think of anyone doing this before. I think it will be a hoot. I already have my mom doing research. LOL.

Till next time....
