I have not read Harlequin Romances ......

Respectfully, I have to say that without reading them, you just don't know... May I suggest picking up one at your local supermarket to see for yourself. Horrible stuff, actually, as far as writing goes, but immensely popular with housewives! I've seen used bookstores that sell ONLY Harlequin Romances. They have THAT big a following!

I do think there is a difference between words and pictures.

There is, but it exists only in the mind of the individual. Some prefer writing, others prefer more visuals. But the World's most famous pornography, presented in almost every country (and outlawed in most of them until recently,) was in printed form. It was written by Donatien Alphonse François, better known to the world as Marquis de Sade, who was actually sentenced to death in absentia for his writings! Although a film has been made of his most famous pornographic work, "Juliette," it never achieved the fame that his written work received.
