According to The Journal of Sex Research and Psychological Bulletin, women who read romance novels or
erotica enjoy 74% more sex with their partners than women who don't. It turns
out that women are fantastic at fantasizing, and suggestive reading material
helps them to do so more intensely and more realistically. The report goes on
to say that these woman not only have more sex, but they have better sex that
includes playful and experimental behavior (such as playing naked tag when the
kids aren't home…not that I've ever done anything like that, mind you…I was
merely offering an example).
So what do you think? Do
romance readers enjoy more sex? Are romance readers more playful, more willing
to experiment? Are they better fantasizers (is that even a word)? How does your
sex life compare to your best friend's, your mother's, your sister's? Do you
ever talk to your friends about sex, or is it kept closed up behind the bedroom
door?

I think there are options and possibilities to explore - but I think people need to take great care to not think somehow magically their mate will become that alpha-hero with wine and flowers.
But - I will admit it does add some interest to the mix. And ask any of the nurses in Casualty and they will tell you that 50 Shades has significantly improved the "ooh what I saw last night" stories :)
Let me just say I don't think my hubby realizes the benefits in gets from my favorite genre of book. ;)
My sex life has always been pretty okay, but I gotta say that since I've started writing romances (The last three years or so) my husband has definitely noticed a difference in the quality of the sex. That's all I'm going to say...
Does this mean women who read crime novels are more likely to attack their partners? ;P
Vicki, I'll have to see if there's any research on that. LOL I could see a woman trying to use that as an excuse..."Judge, I was reading a great murder mystery..."
