FYI...I read and enjoy romance novels, was the person who told you that male/female? Because while some of them may have very erotic scenes in them...I'd hardly call them porn...but that's just me.
However, with that said....I do know that some women who read these romance novels exclusively often do seem to hold the men in those stories as an "ideal" which is completely unrealistic, no one in real-life is going to live up to one of these men of "perfection". I do read those novels, for pure enjoyment, and often find myself laughing at the "hero" because he is just so completely not someone you would meet in a real-world situation....for that matter neither is the woman in the story.
But I'll let you in on a little secret CeMar, when things aren't going right in my life it's much easier to escape into that fantasy world of a book and dream about this man of perfection than face the situation you may find yourself in in real-life. Now I'm not saying that's a good thing to do...all I'm saying is I bet your W isn't all that happy with your situation either.
