I first heard the term applied to "Fifty Shades of Gray" and the followup books when they became bestsellers.
Since then, I've seen it applied to any form of romance writing, but I think it's meant to be used for romance novels with a strong (and kinky) sexual content.
It's usually used in a derogatory context, although I suppose that's pretty obvious. It's an extension of the stereotype that all romance readers are overweight, middle-aged women who can only get their love (or lust) from the covers of a book and box of chocolates.
