Calling all you romance readers! When you read a romance, what's your HEAT level? Do you enjoy a sweet romance or one that's erotic?
Here are the heat levels:
Sweet: There's nothing explicit or vulgar here. The couple may hold hands or share a sweet kiss and that's about it. Think: While you were sleeping movie.
Sensual: Things are a bit more in depth. The couple may kiss and more. Their hands roam. There's arousal, but they don't quite go all the way just yet. Pretty woman, the Penthouse scene.
Spicy: The couple gets sexual in the bedroom. The scenes may be explicit, but they are tasteful. Oddly the scene from Terminator 1 comes to mind.
Erotic: Very explicit scenes between couples. Usually, the couple's encounters are about sex which then turn to love. Movie Example: 50 Shades of Grey
Reviews from poll takers:
KingsSideCastle My own preference is a combination of the sensual and spicy. Although I imagine that I probably hit on all sides of the spectrum depending on a particular day. I wound choosing Spicy at this particular moment in time. Which turned out to be the top choice currently. It is interesting to see what other people are choosing for this. I like that you provided descriptions for each of the choices used giving readers an idea of what each choice represented. I also really like the cover image for this it
This is good as is but you might consider adding some movie examples / ratings for each of the choices. I think it provides the poll taker with a clear frame of reference. Otherwise they could wonder what exactly would be considered explicit.
Great poll... Thank you very much for making it. SpookyBee Great idea about movie examples. I'll try to incorporate some!
