Older ladies and their Harlequin romance novels

These ladies freak me out. I have worked with several middle-aged ladies who bring their "romance novels" to work to read on breaks/lunch. I use quotation marks because these books are really just sex stories with dumb plots....if you ever cracked one of these books and started reading a random page, you ended up reading a sex scene....complete with stories about "pulsating members" and "quivering thighs".

To me, it is like they are bringing porno to work. Pretty awkward to talk to them while it is just sitting out on their desk. To reverse the gender roles here, it would be like them coming and talking to me while a Penthouse sits open at my desk. Plus when I see them reading the book, I see them while they are reading about sex. Then my mind jumps to their sex lives at home, and how it seems they dont have much of a sex life despite their obvious desires. One shouldnt be forced to think of their co-workers in such ways. ;)
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.

    Probably the same people who think that crappy Twilight book is well written.

    Haha, i always figured that was a book first, glad to know.

    I thought it was a crazy headline on yahoo front page a while back 'sequel to vampire romance in the works' :p

    I have never read Harlequin but had always assumed it was more knight in shining armour type stuff and wasn't very detailed. I would certainly not be bringing erotic(if one can define Harlequin as erotica? :p) into work :eek:

    Yeah, I am not sure it is a Harlequin exactly, but whatever they are they seem to read like a porn script with a lil extra fluff.
