I'm 10 and i got this today and i don't know how to put it on so the wing now don't wanna stick 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks
Always thought it was interesting how if one wants a glance at the unfettered desires of women, is to look at romance novels / smut. They're mostly written by women for women, majority of the consumers are women as well. Typically the archetype of the MMC is as you say: big eggplant, white, very tall, dark features, model looks, rich/wealthy and or werewolf / vampire lol
You're absolutely right about it mostly being written by women for women. Romance literature is truly unique as it's the only space within culture/society that centers on women's stories, pleasure, joy, etc. And it gives a very insightful look into a point of view not often highlighted. What you're saying about archetypes is very interesting. Again, I think you are right that this is the most common MMC. But I do wonder how much of this is a reflection of what women actually want in real life vs. a reflection on whose stories are getting greenlit.
I GOT MY PERIOD AND ITS MY 1ST / 2ND DAY AND ITS SO UNCOMFORTABLE UGHHH ITS LIKE UGHHHH
The most hardest part is when your at school and in the bathrooms, its so embrassing when your trying to open it e.c.t
Sooooo I definitely was already working on a teachers-in-love story, so that's definitely my favorite of your ideas. 😆 I agree that it should exist! I feel like it's a setting ripe for the picking.
YES!!! So many possibilities. I want to hear more about your book!
When i dont understand how something works i just ask my mom lol😭
Changing pad in school is so hard 😅😅
Im so glad somone finally did this. When i first started, i had no clue how to put a pad on and actually had to ask my Mom.😊
Do not hesitate to ask ur mom she's the only one who'll help u this time.
I’d love a romance book that isn’t so predictable 🤣 they should keep the synopsis as vague as possible.
I agree! I rarely like to ever read the book of the book 😅
I am a boy and I am wearing it
Why?
I like how you are so full of ideas! I will be sharing this video with my writer friends!
Yes!!! Please dooooo. I need these books in my life 😅
Olympic - Starting Line by Michae Marie
Ahh! Thank you!!!! I will check it out.
5:25 What I always found so interesting about romance is the deeper dive into the characters. It seems to me that romance is much more concerned than other genres with the emotional part and the depth of characters, from the construction of the characters (their personnality, their background and the emotional impact it has on them, their dreams, their fears, their misbeliefs, etc.) to how the characters feel and interact with each other. Sure, psychological thrillers and other genres (any good book, really) also explore human nature and psychology, but it always seemed to me like romance was the genre where the characters are the more relatable (in a personal level "this character is similar to me" or "this character made me realise things about me", or in a "this character makes me understand some people around me better" way)
Oh, and of course, one of the major points that makes romance so enjoyable is that a book, to be qualified as a romance, not only needs to have a romantic relationship at the heart of it and the main plot, but it also needs to have a happy ending ! So yes, the positivity and uplifting quality or romance is part of what makes it so amazing ✨️
Yes!!! You are 100% correct. I appreciate how you identified something we so deeply feel when reading romance 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I love your video idea!!!
In the tv series the west wing there are a lot of romances with politics as a focal point
Ugh, there is no slow burn like Donna and Josh 😅😅😅
I do the wings first 😭 i JUST started and all of a sudden i want tampons 😭😭😭😭
Why do i always get stained with pad on?
THANKYOU GIRL ❤❤❤
oui
It's normal to not feel pleasure because whether women like it or not y'all were never supposed to feel sexual pleasure in the first place. Remember sex is used to conceive children and last time I checked a woman doesn't need to orgasm in order to get pregnant but a man does to get her pregnant. I know this is an unpopular opinion but this is exactly why women have such a hard time orgasming because it goes against the nature of what sex was meant to be used for.
