Recs if you like The Duchess War...

Unsullied. Undefiled. Uninitiated. Untouched. Chaste. Pure. While the tired trope of virginal and inexperienced women abounds, particularly in historical romance but even in contemporary works, virginal men are much less common. With stories that can be refreshing and joyful, or not (lol), this list brings together heroes who’ve done little more than kiss. (Some of them haven’t even done that.) All romance sub-genres are included, except YA.

One of my favorite jokes about romance is that the most unrealistic aspect of them is that the men have friends.

These are romances where the male main character has close friends he talks to and banters with. These are often brothers, but sometimes they are more found family. They don’t have to be fellow men but they help round out who is and make him a better, more complete person. It’s catnip for me when they see his growing love for the other MC more clearly than he does.
