Caution: Dark Romance
What is Dark Romance?
1 in 3 women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetimes. Many never receive justice.
Fiction gives readers a feeling of control.
Dark romance is a subgenre of fiction that often includes unsettling themes that explore the darker aspects of human nature and relationships. This subgenre allows readers to process complex emotions and experience justice for past traumas in a safe, fictional setting where morally gray or morally black characters will stop at nothing to avenge you.
Some of the most intense sexual play takes place in the mind.
The brain is a complex, sophisticated organ that can't distinguish between falling in love with a real person or a fictional one. Survivors of sexual assault develop different types of coping mechanisms to deal with trauma.
The neurobiology of emotions proves that pain and pleasure exist in the same neural pathways. Kink fosters community, tolerance, consent, and respect.
If you've experienced this type of trauma: I see you.
