@FuriousMachine Okay now it makes sense, I wasn't sure what I stepped in on. I thought you were talking about the Argonian book from Skyrim. It's been a long two weeks. It's good to mix genres though, I unfortunately did read Fifty Shades to see how it compared to my real dynamic and it was kind of awful. That's as close as I've come to books like that, maybe Anne Rice too. I'm looking at the description now 'Set in Long Island, the novel follows a young maid for a wealthy family with dark secrets' I'll be giving people a second look today, I might have one of those maids in my midst and not know. But honestly nothing would surprise me anymore, we have had 'incidents', people are people and repression is unhealthy. Professional environment or otherwise. I may have even had an incident or two myself, but that's not going in a novel or on here. It wasn't a gardener, that's a visual I need to get out of my head now or I won't even be able to look at him again.
Does that mean they make books like that for men too? I'm genuinely curious if that's a thing. I assumed most would just watch pornography, and not need a literal work of fiction. Unless maybe coffee table books, but there's no way I'm mentioning those on here. Sometimes when I looked for Ufology books on Barnes and Noble I'd be redirected to Adult books about extraterrestrials and even Bigfoot, it's a whole genre. I'd never kink shame, it was just so unexpected especially Bigfoot, there are so many. I'm sure there were others too, maybe even Mothman, Bigfoot stood out. The ratio of Bigfoot per person would be substantial, it's not something you expect to see. It happens with Paranormal now too, it's impossible to find books on parapsychology without rubbing up against someone who wants to be intimate with a Ghost, Vampyre or Other. True Blood and the Sookie Stackhouse novels were sort of like that too but a little more factual I'd imagine.
These violent delights have violent ends & in their triumph die, like fire & powder Which, as they kiss, consume.
@GirlVersusGame I assume there are "saucy romance" semi-pornographic novels written for men as well, though I'm hardly any authority on the subject. I expect, as you mention, most men will prefer a more visual format, so I can't imagine there being much of a market for it.
As for "The Housemaid", it's not the titular housemaid that is the problem in that particular novel and I won't say any more than that
