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 whoโve done little more than kiss. (Some of them havenโt 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 โmasturbationโ, 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 โฐ๏ธ toys encouraged but a hand (or two or three or-) will do just fine.

He Arrives... Unexpectedly
Romance novels where the hero... arrivesโฆ in his pants (usually while eating). If you know of other books, please share in the comments!






virgin heroes
we love a virgin hero: the sadsacks, the dutifully celibate, the serial second-basers whoโve just never stuck it in...






I Love You, You Love Me
Historical Romance that will make real men seem like bores and fictional men like Christopher Reeves
