Romance writing has long been misunderstood as simply a guilty pleasure for women to indulge in their fantasies about sex and relationships.

However, it has always been about much more than that. Romance books often provide us with stories where women get to choose non-traditional paths, be sexually satisfied, and basically have happy endings.

But there is something taboo about a woman who chooses her pleasure, who gets to make her own decisions.

Lady Chatterley's Lover a book that often tops banned book lists, isn't just a story about sexual awakening but a woman who chooses a non-traditional path to happiness.

The romance genre has evolved to become a platform for authors to explore themes of consent, reproductive rights, and sexual health. Despite this evolution, romance novels are still often banned and dismissed, making it a topic that deserves more attention, especially when we talk about health equity.

In honor of Banned Books Week, I am excited to share today's episode where we are exploring the intersection of romance writing and health equity.

We go behind the scenes with romance authors, Danika Bloom, Lainey Davis, Karen Grey, and Dr. J to talk sex, health, pleasure, consent, reproductive rights, and banned books.

Book title mentioned: Emily Nagasaki's, Come As You Are,
