From the thread: https://ancient-forums.com/threads/valentina-nappi-porn-thoughts.305871/
While this thread is about visual pornography I do think it's worth noting that women have a comparable problem both in scale and severity with literary pornography, it just never gets discussed because it's considered "empowering" and is framed as "romance novels" and "women's literature" when it's just hardcore pornography, often featuring completely outlandish scenarios involving billionaire vampires or anthropomorphic beasts or whatever else. These also very often feature themes like hardcore rape, kidnapping, physical abuse, incest, etc; much of the same themes visual pornography gets criticized for normalizing amongst men. It is also *very* common, in the same ballpark as visual pornography. Every Gen Z women I've asked (maybe 6 or 7) consumes this content at least from time to time, with most of them doing it regularly and a couple being into the aforementioned hardcore shit you primarily find on "fanfiction" sites like Wattpad. I'm not going to pretend this tiny, biased sample is representative of the entire population, but there's no denying this garbage is incredibly popular.
The effects of this consumption are also fairly comparable to male pornography addicts, I've heard women literally say they regularly fantasize about werewolves or some stupid shit while having sex with their partner, it's just less visible both because the pressure of bedroom performance primary rests on men and because if a man cannot sufficiently arouse his partner it's seen as his fault regardless of whether the woman's brain is completely fried - be it from smut or indiscriminate whoring.
The effects in extreme users are also quite comparable. The following is a Snapchat post from one of the organizers of a "romance book" convention in 2025:
This kind of psychotic, porn-brained, sexual predator behavior is something most people assume is solely an artifact of male pornography use, yet here it is on full display from women.
Lastly, I want to point out that this kind of smut contains an additional ideological element that in my opinion makes it even more insidious than standard visual pornography. It often normalizes or pushes tumblr-esque feminist brainrot when it comes to male-female interactions. Visual pornography is often criticized for normalizing unrealistic bedroom dynamics, but literary pornography often normalizes completely unrealistic relationship dynamics, which I would argue is far worse, and far more likely to make you undateable.
For an example I’m going to use the incredibly popular book “Morning Glory Milking Farm”, which is a NYT #1 bestseller with almost 70,000 ratings and 13,000 reviews on Goodreads.
A particularly amusing excerpt from this book is as follows:
"and when the bill arrived, she'd attempted to pull a handful of carefully folded bills from her wristlet, before he'd stopped her.
'No, that's absolutely not happening. Put that away.'
She'd not thought about it until the day after their first dinner together, realizing in mortification that she ought to have attempted to pay her half.
What kind of feminist are you?
She couldn't remember the last time she'd been out and hadn't paid for her half, including her coffee date with Carson Tinsley, which accounted for how infrequently she went anywhere. She had come prepared that night, several weeks of her tips smoothed and tucked into her wristlet.
"But I didn't even offer to pay half the other night and I should ha--"
'Violet.' If the commanding rumble of his voice hadn't silenced her, the heat of his hand dropping to her knee would have. 'I don't want you to feel that you don't have any agency here. I might be the one giving all the orders, but you hold all the cards. Your comfort is the only thing that counts right now, and if I overstep, I want you to know you can tell me so. But that's not happening. Don't think I'm unaware we're at different points in our careers. You can say no, you can say you don't want to see me again, you can tell me to stop coming to the farm when you're working. It's dinner, not a down payment on your time. But I'm in a position to comfortably spoil someone, so when you're with me, I'm spoiling you. End of story'
She was a good feminist, she told herself, and she definitely couldn't be bought. But if he had suggested at that moment that he would have appreciated a blowjob, she would have fallen face-first onto his (you get the picture)"
The above is the kind of self-indulgent feminist circlejerking that has become normalized in literature more generally, but particularly in these kinds of romance books. Women now require 2 paragraphs of psychological hand-holding to be able to accept the idea of a man paying for a date, which they clearly so desperately want. Feminist programming in particular is largely responsible, in my view, for the popularity of anthropomorphic creatures in these books, because it at least partially sidesteps the intense psychological blocks many women have toward dating men. In reading garbage like this, these women are able to fulfill their masturbatory fantasies without even deconditioning themselves to the point where a fictional, hyper-idealized man is acceptable to them. Rather, they now require that fictional, hyper-idealized man to also be an anthropomorphic animal who provides them free therapy about how they’re still a good feminist if they let a minotaur pay for their date.
To summarize – female pornography use is a comparable problem to male pornography use, but it gets next to zero attention because the current social landscape frames it as being empowered women enjoying literature, rather than a sordid den of crackheads unfit to interact with the opposite sex.
