#but these would not be anxious 25 year old women who've never kissed

Hot take: "Is this an Appropriate image of a relationship and/or sex" is huuuugely cared about by... lonely people.

And a lot of people are lonely.

I really have the suspicion that this is not something a reader who's in a fairly long term LTR is going to think a lot about, unless of course they're evaluating works *for their children.*

I think that married women may be who actually read the more escapist stuff and don't really evaluate the messages it sends.
