I asked my husband his take and laughed so hard: he doesn't like to read it because he gets too into it and doesn't like being frustrated in public 😂

I think another factor is that romance centers women, for the most part, and a lot of men just can't identify with those stories and characters.

Valid points. I think it comes down the level of emotional intimacy. I've read dark spice that had that more than bodice rippers did.

This is an amazing take! I think part of it also comes from how most book boyfriends are in touch w/ their feelings or they learn to be by the end of

I dislike spice in fantasy myself. I don’t think it’s a “just guys” thing.

Huh, I never considered spicy content as an emotional response they feel like they can't enjoy because of social constructs.

I was told that is the intimacy that makes them uncomfortable… not the spice per say..

My husband loves Pride and Prejudice (one of his favorite books) but doesn't like spicy written by men or women. most of his books have a romance arc

The prejudice against romance has been around a long time. I think some are angry that what they see as "lesser" is invading "their" genre

There’s a famous Roman poet who was made fun of by his peers for writing poetry that had too many kisses
