Hmm, I never thought romance novels had to have sex in them because I've read romance novels that don't have sex in them. They're usually romantic comedies but they're still romances. I read one a few months back called Pinch Me that had no sex scenes at all. I just read I've Got Your Number, which also had no sex scenes. They both allude to the heroine having sex but the sex takes place off the page.

I'm sure I've read some non-comedic romances that also don't have sex but I'll have to think a little harder about that. Anyway, I hope other posters have established that romance does not equal porn for women. There is porn for women but it's not romance novels.

As for 50 Shades of Grey, I will never read that. I just don't get how people can be turned on by domination, abuse and manipulation (and I'm not talking about the BDSM). That's not sexy or romantic.
