As the old Internet saying goes: If it exists, there is porn. TikTok’s book community, BookTok for short, has proven that the same is true for spicy romance novels. If it exists, someone made it the romantic lead in a crappy book. Emphasis on IT. You are now entering the world of sensitive object cramping. Welcome!
The genre is … exactly what it sounds like. A (usually) human protagonist falls in love/lust with an object that has gained sentience through a curse, magical spell, or other paranormal forces. Cassie Durand, who runs the aptly named @UnfortunateReads TikTok account, has reviewed everything from ginger-man smut to garden-gnome-smut to bright purple-Crocs smut. “I have a soft spot for Enlighten me by Sabrina Cross,” Durand says, referring to a book that could loosely be described as Pixar lampoon erotica. “The whole story was born out of an unrelated Threads conversation I had with the author.”
If you’re new to this corner of the proverbial NSFW library, you might not realize exactly how far and wide the range of literal things authors have come up with for their characters to have sex with. Consider below, then an educational quiz. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some browser history to clear.
