Erotica becoming much more acceptable by mainstream circles
It appears that erotica romance is being taken somewhat seriously:
“These aren’t your grandma’s romance novels,” says Susan Pezzack, editor of Spice Books, Harlequin’s new erotica imprint that launches in May. “Erotica was once considered a dirty little secret, and no one would admit to reading it. Now it’s considered more of an art form, it’s more acceptable to be on display in major bookstores and women aren’t embarrassed to purchase it. It’s becoming more and more mainstream.”
