What is the difference between a romance novel and a smut novel?

Romance is based on all the happily ever after stories. Poor girl, rich guy or vice versa, meet fall in love, have sex,they tell you how he held her. For example, he took his huge muscular arms and placed it on her wet lips and told her 'shush' as he made his man hood known to her. As he became familiar with her, their movements became synchronized and there was nothing she could do but hold on to his moist shoulders and squeeze for dear life. OMG i could be a writer, anyway. they hide cause its forbidden yadda yadda yadda.\nSmut will have the same story line but this is what the sex scene will be like. He took his manly arms and placed it into the moist area between her thighs lol. He kissed her hard and then he forced his man hood into her ever waiting woman's. Ohhhh baby. lol. He has to cover her mouth with his hands to prevent mourns of ecstasy from escaping her luscious lips since his mouth was already preoccupied with the mounds of sugar on her breast that he playfully called cha chas. lol. You get the drift.\nThat is my idea.

Apparently a different meaning of 'romance' is 'fantasy', i.e. creativity and the ability to make things up. The girl can tell really believable lies really quickly without having to think about it so that's why it's her specialty.\n\nPretty meaningless if you don't know that meaning of 'romance', though, and I didn't until I read the story.

Romance is the big one.. like flowers, notes, cards, ...\nThe little stuff is the biggest stuff

i believe that the difference is that rape involves penetration. molestation is just touching without permission. either way its a police matter and they should be consulted

romance then bed. romance makes the bed part ten times better and trust me it makes it better for both involved if you make the women happy she wants to make you happy!!!!

Just sex is when it has no meaning to it. It's like taking someone out of a bar, taking them home and just doing it. It's basically like two dogs in heat. REAL SEX to me is when you love someone with your whole heart, body, mind and soul. You both love each other and it's a coming together. You have respect for each other and give freely to each other.

Huh? \n\nWhat are the characteristics of a Gothic novel? Find these, and if your novel displays most of the characteristics of the Gothic novel, then you can classify it as a Gothic novel.

Writing styles and subject matter. \nThere are both similarities and differences in either area.

I agree with you. First, lets start with your idea of romance. Is it walks on the beach? Bike rides across the Golden Gate? Or, Friday/Saturday nites clubbing and getting hammered? My point is, women have as many definitions of romance as they do shoes. That's why some girls don't recognize your brand of romance. It's like a cold sales call, you need to read that girl and adjust your game accordingly. There isn't a wrong or right way to romance.

A book is a rather generic term for well, books.\n\nA novel is a specific classification of a book, a novel generally tells a story; characters, plot, begginging middle and end.\n\nBut a book can encompass anything that is paper bound in a cover, be it soft or hard. It can be a text book, a novel, instruction booklet, etc. They are all books, but they are special classifications of them.

Neither. Both are too shallow and not wife material.

Neither really.  It's actually incest with a little Shonen-ai thrown in.  The guy is in love with his sister, and sometimes there are moments between him and his best friend.\n\nThough it is catered more to women, it falls under other genre, but if there was only a choice between the two it's closer to an action shojo.

lust and love are 2 different things.

I assume you're looking for someone to criticize the sexually explicit nature of the book.  This is a great book - a love story.  Do your best to keep your young children away from it until they are old enough to not giggle, and enjoy it yourself as a great story of the progression of love between 2 people.
