I dunno…. a lot of men read or watch a lot of um… stuff… they insist is absolutely no reflection on their relationships with their wives… and they expect to be believed.
In fact, I may take static for this, but in most cases I do believe them… and some couples watch things together.
Romance novels may even put her in a mood, or give her ideas…. maybe for what you guys are thinking I mean, or maybe just stirring up romantic feelings… and Arlo could benefit.
No reason to feel jealous, Arlo… she’s right there beside you, isn’t she?
Romance novels for women are similar to “adult” videos for men. Neither are helpful to the long-term deepening satisfaction of a couple’s union, because reality can never completely live up to the imagination. Sure, there might be a short term increase in the “action” but in the end, he’s always competing with the hero in the book, and she’s always competing with the nymph on the screen.

No book can compete.

Arlo should ask Janis to read one of the steamiest passages to him out loud. It might lead to something.

Perhaps it will “kindle” the fires of romance in her.

Speaking of good books, I just finished a book on anti-gravity: I couldn’t put it down…

Is Janis reading on her nook? Or Kindle? Not a real book???

There’s always, “Let me know when you’re in the mood”.

Romance and sex are completely different.
