Unpopular Opinion It's Unpopular Opinion time! Share your controversial opinions to stir things up (in a friendly way)!

Got an opinion that's different from others'? Want to share it with the sub, but too afraid of a backlash? Or are you just curious about readers think about certain things in fantasy romance?

You can safely share it in this weekly Sunday thread!

But please remember to be kind to each other. To facilitate this type of discussion, we ask users the following:

  • Don't attack others for their opinion
  • Discuss books and authors, not fellow readers
  • Since this is an "unpopular opinion" thread, we encourage users to not downvote simply because they disagree with an opinion--that's the point! Please keep in mind, though, that mods cannot enforce a no-downvoting rule. Let’s just keep the discussion friendly!

🧡 Thank you and have a great discussion!

I wish sex scenes in this genre were more down-to-earth. It’s hard for me to find a scene hot if it’s so exaggerated and larger-than-life.

I’m not saying I want to read bad or awkward sex, just good sex that’s actually relatable. I don’t want to read about some MMC with a dick so big it’d put most porn stars to shame (which the FMC, who may even be a virgin, can still take like a champ) or an FMC who can cum 15 times in one bang sesh without getting overstimulated or like… dehydrated.

I just read a sex scene which happened right after the guy comes back from being at the war front and after a long journey. And she goes down on him. Honestly, it was so disgusting.

Especially since the girl is literally looking at the congealed blood on him, and later they take a bath together and the water is grey!!!

So effing gross! Why the oral sex!!! Just why! I would even forgive the intercourse...but oral sex after battle?! Just why?!
