Nor do I understand why you are so disheartend about it? what anyone else reads had zero impact on you or your life.
One of the benefits of marriage is supposedly having sex, but so many women choose to have a disconnect of that fact with their reading material, then make a point of proclaiming I read them just for the romance. All that tells me is that they have bought into the negative stereo type of other peoples opinion of the genre and feel that they have to justify what they are reading.
Me, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK! What I read, is for my pleasure not yours, you have nothing to do with it, and even less to say about it if you're smart. What's more is I don't care what you read either, I'm too busy enjoy my own sexy books to be thinking about whatever it is that you're reading.
People need to learn to live and let live. Life would be so much more pleasant.

Unfortunately it does. I'd love to discuss books with friends and family but because of the media putting the genre in a negative light they think of romance books in a negative sense. I can't talk about it on my Facebook wall. I can't talk about it in real life. It's disheartening when you defend the genre over and over only to see an author totally not get romance isn't about the sexy. It's about the couple. You get tired of hearing terms mommy porn because I don't read porn. Not all romances have sex in them yet the whole genre is lump together thanks to misinformation.
