Thirsty Thursday 18+

-


 Welcome

So I have been wanting to do this post for a while but I just didn’t really know how to start it so welcome this is going to be Thirsty Thursdays. It’s going to be all about romance but not any kind of romance, not your rom-com romance or your knight in shining armor kind of romance. No, we are going to get down to the nitty-gritty. We’re gonna talk about the heavy, the sweaty, the spicy, and the naughty kind of romance. 

Disclaimer Thirsty Thursday is for 18+ 

So some of you may be asking what kind of romance are you really talking about? I’m talking about what people are now calling smut or Cliterature. A genre that is becoming widely popular. At the same time everyone’s definition of “Smut” will be different. Some see it as erotic romance while others think there is a clear line between the two. Really its how you read and your preferences. My definition is Smut can stimulate between the ears as well as between the legs. In the comments let me know your idea of what smut is?

This week is more of an intro. I will be posting my thirsty scale below. Also, list some sub-categories that I have already dipped my toes into. I don’t want to say by any means am I a smut expert. I have just recently fallen down the rabbit hole and I read about 3 to 5 of them a month. So again I am not a smut expert. I just want to share some of the ones I have found that I have really enjoyed and I want to see if anyone has any recommendations for me.

Everyone has their preferences and that’s OK this is just my preference and how I rate the thirst in the books.

🍹 : Fade to black. (A lot of Ya books sex scenes are described like this) 
🍹🍹 : Tension is brought in to heat up the scene. More descriptive foreplay is used but with very nondescriptive words. Then still fades to black for the actual act.
 🍹🍹🍹: Frequency is low, won't be too detailed, gives off more idea than picture. Possible because the focus is more plot than sex, or focused on the emotional connection over physical. (this is a lot of contemporary romance books for me)
🍹🍹🍹🍹:  Frequency of scenes increase. The detail of bodies and acts become more elaborate. The plot takes more of a back seat. 
🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹: In your face! Frequent scenes in almost every chapter. Describes every detail to the point you could sketch it if you had artistic skills. Uses choice wording. Has more of the taboo subjects. Makes you want to act it out with your partner. 😜



Sorry, this one was more introductions.
Let me know if you have any recommendations and check in next Thursday for I’ll have some reviews and personal recommendations to discuss with you.

    I like that you have a rating system. I don't read much in the 5 drink category, but anything else is fine with me. I"m interested in what you will be posting.

      You just don’t like to read 5 🍹 or you haven’t found any you’d count as 5 🍹

Top Ten Tuesday  was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to  That Artsy Reader Girl  in January of 2018.

It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.  This week's subject is:   Books on My Spring 2025 to-Read List Listen, I will be honest, I am a mood reader. I do make TBR Lists for every season, etc, but I rarely manage to read everything, or sometimes anything off of them...But here is my list which isn't really a Spring list, but what I'd like to get read before I start on my Beach Read craze! Meet Toadling. On the day of her birth, she was stolen from her family by the fairies, but she grew up safe and loved in the warm waters of faerieland. Once an adult though, the fae ask a favor of Toadling: return to the human world and offer a blessing of protection to a newborn child. Simple, right? But nothing with fairies is ever simple. Centuries later, a knight approaches a towering...
