not quite vestal virgins, virgin men in romance
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 whoβve done little more than kiss. (Some of them havenβt even done that.) All romance sub-genres are included, except YA.

this list is not to be confused with mastication
self care romance books in all forms: mutual, solo, IRL, video call, phone, overhearing, walking in on, public space, etc etc.
if you hate the word βmasturbationβ, try: flicking the bean, jerking off, finger banging, rub one out, beat the meat, dj the vj, wanking, jerkin the gherkin, fapping; we can go on for days. whatever you call it, i just hope you reach climax β°οΈ toys encouraged but a hand (or two or three or-) will do just fine.

shirtless men
Save a shirtless, bare-chested man! Each one is in dire need of a shirt! π Those covers of romance novels are not very warm, although under the covers, it could be hot. Steaming, in fact. Maybe even scorching. π₯΅β€οΈβπ₯
(Other editions exist where the book cover has a shirtless man, but this list only includes those shirtless on PB. ) Enjoy! π
