Contrary to popular opinion, women don t read erotic novels like Fifty Shades of Grey for a cheap sexual thrill, according to a new study.
Researchers in Germany wanted to find out the motivations for buying and reading erotic novels, to explain why the genre has been so successful in the last 10 years.
Their survey of more than 400 female erotic novel readers revealed that the genre is generally considered emancipated, feminist, and progressive .
This is even though plots tend to promote the image of a perpetually young and beautiful woman who strongly depends on men, despite her talents or professional success.

But they should also be given praise for doing it at a time when they are all locked down. For most, the collecting process – usually an online callout for objects allied to more proactive spotting of themes and requesting of material – started in March or April last year at just the time museums were closing their doors and curators were taking to their laptops at home.
