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 ‘masturbation’, 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 ⛰️ toys encouraged but a hand (or two or three or-) will do just fine.

Disability in Queer Romance
Romance books featuring queer characters living with physical disabilities, mental health struggles, chronic illness, and/or neurodevelopmental conditions.
Note: If a series features the same MCs, I've only put the first book. If a series features different MCs, I've only listed the relevant book(s) in the series.
Be aware: list spans YA to erotica.
🚫 No "magical cure" tropes or "better dead than disabled" tropes welcome. No inspo porn.
Please leave any recs or concerns in the comments. 📝

Self-Care for Sad Gays
M/M hurt/comfort books - ones I’ve read plus ones recommended to me in the r/MM_RomanceBooks subreddit. Most of these have pretty intense hurt because that’s my jam

Romance Quest Books that aren't M/F
I went through all the books in the romance quest tab and here are all the ones where at least one of leads is in a relationship that is not "man and woman falling in love with each other." F/F, M/M, F/NBi, M/NBi, NBi/NBi, etc. Largely motivated by wanting to figure out which romance book quests I had a chance of getting the badges for. If I missed any, let me know. Quest specific info in the pinned comment.

Cheesy gay and queer romcoms
Queer romance novels that felt a little bit like bubblegum and sunshine and rainbows (but with like, a plot and some character development and stuff). Are these books a little silly? Did they take a few chapters for me to really get hooked? Did they make me stupidly grin at my kindle and make my husband wonder just what on earth I was reading? The answer to all of those is yes of course. And I wouldn’t want them any other way.

Gay books that make me yearn
God when will it be my turn ☹️☹️ MLM books for my fellow yearning men out there 🤝 Some are a bit spicy, some not so much
Only adding 1 from each series (unless it's a series that's basically stand alone books - just in the same universe)
