    Any portrayal of anything which is not totally realistic (whatever that would mean) can blur the distinction between fantasy and reality (whatever that means)

    so we are left always with the same question, why is there a different and more restrictive standard applied to sex than to any other area of life. I personally think that women reading romance novels about good looking, successfully men being totally devoted to the interests and concerns of the female heroine of the story is totally unrealistic, totally degrading to men, sets up all kinds of problematic expectations and I want it stopped NOW!!!!!
