37:31Now Playing“Fairy smut” (spicy fantasy romance novels like A Court of Thorns and Roses) has become extremely popular, including among some Relief Society sisters. But is it harmless fun, or is it shaping expectations in unhealthy ways?
In this episode, we discuss:
Why some women are drawn to these books
The real-world impact spicy romance can have on relationships (from someone who investigated sexual assault cases for 15 years)
A new tool called BookRata that rates books across multiple categories (sexuality, violence, language, worldview, wellness, etc.)
How to make informed decisions about what you read without being overly prudish or overly permissive
BookRata works like VidAngel for books — it doesn’t censor content, but it gives you clear, transparent ratings so you can decide what’s appropriate for you or your family.
What’s your take — is fairy smut harmless escapism, or is there reason for caution?
