13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 2: one of the characters as their partner in the bedroom.

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,199

15

Speaker 2: And I don't know if you're willing to admit this publicly,

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: but about one in three romance readers, which if he

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: didn't know and I didn't know this, the Heated Rivalry

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: is a book series, and I think that I haven't

19
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: read the books. If you have, I would call because

20
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: I would love to know if it continues on, Like

21
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: I gotta think that we've got I think they announced

22
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: in a second seat for it, So there's more to

23
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: the story, But one in three romance readers admit that

24
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: they've imagined their real life partner as a favorite book

25
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: character during intimate moments. Oh okay, so I'm wondering if

26
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: all the people who've just been watched heated rivalry and

27
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: are now like, you know, in love, like my friend

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: the guy that I read the text from, who's like that,

29
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: you know, stone made of stone. And now all of

30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 2: a sudden he's calling his ex boyfriend and they're hanging

31
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: out on the couch, you know, intertwixt between one another,

32
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: and now he wants to marry the guy's he's you know,

33
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: totally in love. I'm wondering if he's seeing the Russian

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: guy when they make out. And that's what this is

35
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: really about.

36
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: It's a fantasy. It's not even Yeah.

37
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: They talked to two thousand people about this, and they

38
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: found that steaming novels aren't his fantasy. Most readers say

39
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: the scenes feel realistic, and many credit romance books with

40
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: helping them better understand and talk about their desires. More

41
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: than half said that reading made them more comfortable communicating

42
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: with a partner, and over half tried something new after

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: reading it in a book, I can only imagine a

44
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: requests that are coming out of heated rivalry. Anti let's

45
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: turned on by this show. Let's try a few things

46
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: that you have never allowed me to do before.

47
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: All my friends read those like A Court of Thorns

48
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 3: and Roses. It's like they're very spicy books, but they

49
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: have like fairies and fays, and it's like it's really

50
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: out there. And I'm texting one right now asking if

51
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: she pictures her husband as one of like the fairies,

52
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 3: because they're all addicted.

53
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 4: You guys, they get going in this group chat.

54
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: Last time I talked on this radio, I talked crap

55
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: about this book series.

56
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 4: I got so many hate messages. People were like, don't

57
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 4: talk to me or my family ever again.

58
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 3: They are passionate, but they're getting to this this fairy

59
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: like stuff that they're reading A Court of Wings and Ruin.

60
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 4: Oh no, I guess maybe I'll let you may read

61
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: a book that's what I'm here.

62
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: Or any of you guys will admit that you've like

63
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: in the in the act, in the moment, in sort

64
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: of envisioned or pictured the person who you're with as

65
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: someone else in order to sort of get there. I

66
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: don't think anyone, you know, one you gonna say that publicly.

67
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: No one's going to admit that.

68
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 5: I'm not good with my imagination, Like I'm not, Like

69
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 5: it's like my thing, like like dressing. We talk about it,

70
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 5: like dressing up right, or like role play, but like

71
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 5: picturing you as someone else, Like I don't know how

72
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 5: to do that.

73
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: Right, Like I feel like I'm focused on other things, right.

74
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: Like if ever close your eyes and done the thing

75
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 2: with someone else, but then thought about someone else while

76
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: you're doing the thing in order to get there, And

77
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: in this case, I mean, it would probably be worse

78
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: if it's a real person, But I mean I wouldn't

79
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: be real happy if I found out that the person

80
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,960

Speaker 2: helping you out.

88
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,360
