After seeing incels use it to justify their porn addictions and frame women as equally disgusting as they are, I decided to get to the bottom of things and read Morning Glory Milking Farm
81yWH2POT0L._UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg
Is it degenerate? Is it depraved? Is it full of rape and violence towards women? Not remotely, I'd go as far to say that it's downright wholesome compared to what the average unfuckable male has going on in those private tabs. Amusingly weird and genuinely sweet? Definitely.
The story centers around Violet, a college graduate facing the prospect of needing to move back in with her parents. She takes a well paid position as a "milking technician" at the titular Morning Glory Milking Farm, manually extracting semen from minotaurs for use in human ED drugs. She performs the task with clinical neutrality until a handsome minotaur named Rourke catches her eye. Torn between professionalism and her desire to get closer to him, the story explores their developing relationship.
"But Cancer, this is just like one of my animes! How is a book about minotaur glory holes not entirely degenerate?"
This book was written by a woman, for women. While the author is unapologetic in the absurd and graphic depictions of sex with a bullman, the minotaur factor is merely taking the trope of "delicate flower loved and protected by a large but caring man" and turning it up to 11 with a novel angle.
Though not the most fleshed out character (I suspect the sequels continue the world building), Violet's not some two dimensional sexual object. She's a realistic protagonist with inner conflict, fears, aspirations, and motivations. Her body is described minimally as "unremarkable," keeping the focus on her personality and emotions rather than objectification. She grapples with guilt, lust, torn feminist values, and a well meaning but overbearing mother. Her daydreams extend beyond sex to include tender intimacy: snuggling, watching movies in bed, building a shared life. While undoubtedly an erotic novel, the story balances the lewdness with an equal measure of sensuality and romance.
The most scandalous part of the book (aside from a lewd description of the anatomy of lizardmen by a particularly slutty vampire friend) is an infidelity scare but Rourke proves himself a consummate gentleman. Despite her misgivings about violating company policy and jeopardizing a much needed well paying job being a central focus, the mood is kept light with some amusing moments that balance the drama nicely. Violet becomes Kiwi-pilled while researching Rourke's ex, "bullsplaining" is bemoaned, and quips like "Milk me like one of your French cows!" bring a smile without overly disrupting the tone.
Overall, I would not describe this as something people are reading for fap material as the absurdity is never far from mind. This is something I could see a fan of romance novels picking up as an ironic novelty. I certainly started it as an endeavor in cheeky journalism but by the end I found myself genuinely enjoying this piece of bizarro romance. I may even continue on with the series as I'm now morbidly curious about the love lives of mothmen but will be taking a break to look into an even stranger concept

Holy crap. That minotour series features a book with a mothman. Im equally horrified and intriqued.
 
I prefer these kinds of bizarre romances over the CEO and Mafia Boss slop that is all over kindle any time.
Bitch, the paper accepts everything. If you are going to write some romantic/fantastic slop, crank the weirdnes up to 11, please. Go full schizo. Thank you.
It's also nice that those weird monster romances usually have quite wholesome relationships.

Yeah I had a side job reviewing romance novels like more than a decade ago.

Demons, vampires and werewolves? Pretty wholesome overall, non-toxic relationship, strong female protagonist. Christian romance novel? There's gonna be a violent rape scene like 20 pages in and protagonist will keep returning to her abuser.

I imagine this still holds true.

There was a book called "Tentacles" or something where the protagonist fucks a squid-like Cthulu monster. When they're getting down to it, the monster says he is going to penetrate the female protagonist's anus and vagina. The woman says she doesn't want anal penetration.

And....the monster listens. Actually goes, "understood" and proceeds with vaginal penetration. Meanwhile a book series based on 50 Shades of Grey with a character named "Gideon" stalks and attempts to rape the female MC because he entered a "zone" in his head because he was raped, or something. It legit pissed me off. Her bisexual model friend had to physically pull him off. The monsterfuckers have polite monsters who listen to their partners and aim to please, and then you have that.
 
Is this finally a thread where I can sperg about all the old, deranged Fabio romance books, and their covers/illustrations that are somehow even more fucking insane? Because I've been wanting one for so long.

Anyway, here's just some of them.

This next one is my favorite because it's so unhinged, and just gets worse the more you look at it. By the way, the book's called Man of My Dreams, and yes, this picture really is in it.

These are glorious. Thank you for posting them.

Pretty damning view of the genres. So if you actually want wholesome content you're basically better off reading the monster books. Nuts.

Yeah.

Romance is pretty formulaic as a genre. There needs to be a power imbalance between the female lead and male lead. If the male is a thousand year old werewolf vampire then ok you've just got that right off the bat.

On the other hand if you crack open a book and it's two Amish farmers in Indiana it's gonna get real fucking toxic real quick.

Right, so it's a bit of an instant gratification sort of thing. Personally I've mainly just read historical Harlequin / Mills & Boon sort of shit so I don't actually know how the 'modern' stories stack up. But what you're saying makes sense.

Not gonna lie, I love painted book covers. I remember kids books even had them when I was growing up in the 90s, like the various Sweet Valley books and the Anne of Green Gables series.

That last image is painted by Ellaine Duillo, who did a shitload of romance covers. She's credited with giving Fabio his career, really. I love how she'd paint women a lot of the time with this insanely long, gorgeous hair. A lot of those books also had those neat raised, embossed fonts too. Such a lost art.

Now its all lazy ai slop with missing fingers and weird proportions.
 
Un ironically the Cambric creek series with Milking Farm leading the charge for being well written, it's smutty as all hell and a bit furry esq but the writing was solid.

I got hooked on reading all the regency era novels that CM Nacosta co wrote with a bunch of different authors. How to Marry a Marble Marquis was a nice entry into that particular series, my other stand out was also Mastered by Sea marquis but anything nautical romance especially if it's fantasy is definitely my jam.

Or shitty "sexy" photographs or that cartoony art style. The cartoony art style is probably less offensive to my senses than the shitty photos, but it still looks childish. A fine example with that Heated Rivalry fagslop that is all the rage. I'll spoiler them, since one has an utterly unappealing shittily photoshopped cover of two nude male torsos.

unless its Anne rice, then its also rape
She was the edgy Western shotacon/lolicon before we even had a name for it. She was always writing beautiful boys - always pure white - being turned into vampires by older men. Her "Sleeping Beauty" series is just fetishistic rape, something 50 Shades wasn't even close to replicating. Sleeping Beauty in the first book is made to strip naked by the Prince - in front of her parents! - and eat food off the floor. After she was paddled. She wrote this under a pseudonym, A.N. Roquelaure. Here is a sample from Z Library:
She made no sound; but if a person could moan silently, then she made such a moan with her whole attitude. Her head fell towards him, and he felt the hot moisture against his right hand, and laying her down again, he cupped both of her breasts, and sucked gently on one and then the other.

They were plump and firm, these breasts. She’d been fifteen when the curse struck her. And he bit at her nipples, moving the breasts almost roughly so as to feel their weight, and then lightly he slapped them back and forth, delighting in this.

His desire had been hard and almost painful to him when he had come into the room, and now it was urging him almost mercilessly.

He mounted her, parting her legs, giving the white inner flesh of her thighs a soft, deep pinch, and, clasping her right breast in his left hand, he thrust his sex into her.

He was holding her up as he did this, to gather her mouth to him, and as he broke through her innocence, he opened her mouth with his tongue and pinched her breast sharply.

He sucked on her lips, he drew the life out of her into himself, and feeling his seed explode within her, heard her cry out.

And then her blue eyes opened.

“Beauty!” he whispered to her.
He later forces himself on her:
He knew what she was seeing as she looked at him. He was only three years older than she had been. Eighteen, newly a man, but afraid of nothing and no one. He was tall, black haired; he had a lean build which made him agile. He liked to think of himself as a sword—light, straight, and very deft, and utterly dangerous.

And he had left behind him many who would concur with this.

He had not so much pride in himself now as immense satisfaction. He had gotten to the core of the accursed castle.

There were knocks at the door, cries.

He didn’t bother to answer them. He laid Beauty down again.

“I’m your Prince,” he said, “and that is how you will address me, and that is why you will obey me.

He parted her legs again. He saw the blood of her innocence on the cloth and this made him laugh softly to himself as again he gently entered her.

She gave a soft series of moans that were like kisses to his ear.

“Answer me properly,” he whispered.

“My Prince,” she said.

“Ah,” he sighed, “that is lovely.”
Later, he forces her to eat naked while at the table:
Beauty he ordered to dine with him, and to remain with him, and he told her firmly that she was to wear no clothing.

“It’s my wish to have you naked and always ready for me,” he said.

He might have told her she was incomparably lovely, with only her golden hair to clothe her, and the blushes on her cheeks to cover her, and her hands trying so vainly to shield her sex and her breasts, but he didn’t say this aloud.

Rather he took her little wrists and held them behind her back as the table was brought in, and then he ordered her to sit opposite.
Earlier I said she was spanked in front of her parents. I misremembered; she is in fact humiliated in front of an entire town:
The Captain of the Guard did not dare touch Beauty, except to put the rope about her wrists. He led her by this to the open gate of the courtyard, and throwing the rope up over the iron rod that held the sign of the Inn, he quickly secured her hands above her head, so that she was almost on tiptoe.

Then he motioned for the people to move back, and he stood against the wall with his arms folded as they pressed to look at her.

There were buxom women with stained aprons, and coarse men in breeches and heavy leather shoes, and the young well-to-do men of the town in their velvet cloaks with their hands on their hips as they eyed Beauty from a distance, unwilling to elbow in the crowd. And several young women, their elaborate white headdresses freshly done up, who had come out lifting their hems fastidiously as they looked at her.
He later has her molested by an old Cobbler:
Everyone laughed politely. But they couldn’t conceal their awe of him. They were staring at his armor, at his sword, and above all at his young face and dark black hair that fell to his shoulders.

The Prince drew the Cobbler closer. “Here,” he said, “I give you permission if you like just to feel her treasures.”

The old man smiled at the Prince gratefully and almost innocently. He reached out, and hesitating a moment, felt Beauty’s breasts. Beauty shivered, and tried obviously to repress a little cry.

The old man touched her sex.

Then the Prince drew up her little leash so she was standing on tiptoe; her body stiffened and seemed to grow more tense and at the same time more lovely, breasts and buttocks high, her calf muscles lifted, her chin and throat a perfect line down to her swaying bosom.
Later, at an inn, he has her eat food, naked, off the floor:
And while the townspeople pressed their faces to the leaded glass windows of the Inn, the Prince had Beauty wait on his table.

On her hands and knees she hurried across the rough boards of the Inn floor to fetch his plate from the kitchen. And though she was allowed to walk back with it, she was again on all fours to fetch his flagon. The soldiers devoured their supper, throwing silent glances at her by the light of the fire.

She wiped the table for the Prince and when a morsel of food spilled from his plate to the floor, he commanded Beauty to eat it. With tears spilling from her eyes, Beauty obeyed, and then he gathered her, still on her knees, into his arms and rewarded her with dozens of wet and loving kisses. Obediently she put her arms around his neck.
And more:
But this little morsel spilling had given him an idea. He ordered her to quickly fetch a plate from the kitchen again, and then told her to lay it on the floor at his feet.

He put food for her there from his plate, and told her to lift her heavy hair behind her shoulders and eat it only with her mouth.

“You are my kitten,” he laughed gaily. “And I would forbid you all those tears if they weren’t so beautiful. Do you want to please me?”

“Yes, my Prince,” she said.

With his foot he pushed her plate several paces away and told her to turn her buttocks to him as she continued her meal. He admired it, realizing the red marks from her spanking had almost healed. With the toe of his leather boot, he nudged at the silken hair he could see between her legs, felt the moist plump lips beneath the hair, and sighed, thinking her so very beautiful.
This book was written in the 80s. It is bland by today's AO3 standards, but Anne Rice was notoriously prickly about derivatives of her work. She even prevented editors from fixing her work in her later entries, believing herself to be the best editor. Only after her death were people safe to publish their own stories involving the TV show.
