It depends on the novel. Some romance novels are clean, limiting explicit physical intimacy to more or less chaste kissing. Other romance novels, particularly those marketed as erotica, are sexually graphic.
If you have never read romance novels but are considering doing so, use caution in selecting novels.
Visit romance review sites on the Internet to learn which authors include sexually graphic scenes and which do not. Be especially wary of any novel that is labeled erotica or that includes suggestive descriptions of the contents.
