The Truth About Romantic Novels

Myth:
A good book on physical love will help your sex life.

Truth:
Sex books, romantic novels and erotic magazines promote salacious aspects of sex and often paint an unrealistic and perverted picture of what sex means. According to the book Sex. Discovering Real Love in a World of Counterfeits, when taken literally, romantic novels force couples into roles designed to satisfy carnal fantasies that do not encourage selfless love.

Married couples should discover sexual expression based on selfless love, mutual honor and compassionate acceptance. Husbands and wives find satisfaction in accepting each other as a blessing and discovering together what constitutes the physical aspects of their sex life.
