Reply to comment by Wickedjr89 in How to quit reading erotica and smutty books? by [deleted]

It's pretty clear OP is feeling negatively because of their reading habits. They say they "can't seem to quit", and that's pretty alarming for any type of hobby or consumption.

Yea :( that makes me sad. There is nothing wrong or shameful about reading erotica. That's why I mentioned that first, but then others had mentioned balance and I didn't want to assume that it was all about feeling ashamed.

But it's a shame there is such stigma around reading erotica. Hell anything deemed "feminine" is often looked down upon and most people reading erotica, are women. Of course there is nothing wrong with a man or nonbinary person reading erotica, but seeing as it's mostly women, it gets looked down on, because sexism.
