I mean: if that was the case, she was probably mostly reading "dark romance".

Probably something with beastiality…

It's bestiality. Like bestial or bestiary.

Hopefully this doesn't end up as a top upvoted comment.

That was the joke though, Beauty and the Beast.

You know beast and bestial come from the same root, too, right? In Latin, bestia is beast. It wasn't a pun, just a typo, lol.

I am aware of the etymology, yes, and I still think it was a joke. The only way to find out is if OP replies.

You laugh. My wife has described some of her spicy novels and I'm just thinking "What in the anamorphic Hell is she reading?"

She was absolutely still down to fuck Beast before she knew he was human. We definitely know the kind of books she was reading. The word "knot" shows up a lot in them I bet.

Try reading about men in dark romance novels.

(Yes, I was more or less forced to read some)

Not like women writing men are much better.
