I'm sure I'm not the only one getting these ads but they are so disgusting and triggering that I am furious.
The story that I skimmed through was pure rape and hideous violence not just a bit of domination and all these women were commenting "this looks good where can I buy the whole book" with only me and one other woman pointong out the obvious.
Its made me feel so sad about women's skewed thinkkng that makes them feel this is acceptable and enjoyable to read about someone being hideously assaulted.

There are loads.
They are all called stuff like "Prince Kaspian gets his princess sex slave"
My son is going to try and block them for me jeeeeees. No wonder so many women are being killed during sex 😢

Install the "FB Purity" extension which will get rid of fb ads altogether, as well as letting you customize your display in all kinds of other ways.

I googled it and can’t find that book anywhere, so it’s obviously not that prominent.

moonlight1705 · 10/09/2021 08:42

Yes I know exactly the type you mean. I keep getting ones about werewolves for some unknown reason.

They seem to all be about the alpha male choosing the protagonist against their will with some sort of magic primal instinct.

Awful stuff and I keep hiding the adverts but they pop back on every so often.

milleniumhandandprawn · 10/09/2021 08:44

I've seen these - they're adds for book apps that you download and then full of mills and boon esque books on steroids.
I don't think they're "published" in the normal way - more like fan fiction.
But yeah - very very hardcore some of them. A lot of the ones I see advertised are also a bit twilighty.

savemejebus · 10/09/2021 08:46

I've had one literally 3 minutes ago about a woman marrying a disabled man to save her mother but he stood up on their wedding night and made her pregnant....just wow.

I agree, to see the comment section is usually disheartening - full of people exclaiming how good and hot this sounds.
However on this one, people are calling it out for the tripe it is.

QuentinBunbury · 10/09/2021 08:48

I hid these adverts after getting a rapey "teen virgin" type one BlushAngry
Mind you, its better than the bondage pants I was getting for aged.
TBH I don't use Facebook much these days

That's obviously an example

OP I get these too. They are awful. The pictures nicked from google images can be amusing though.

I was being a bit sarcastic. Can't remeber the actual title

How is anyone supposed to judge if it’s inappropriate then?

In terms of subject matter though - one third to two thirds of women have rape fantasies. So this sort of literature is popular. It has nothing to do with people committing sex crimes though. Most people understand the difference between fantasy and reality.

AssassinatedBeauty · 10/09/2021 10:06

I get these too, and I dislike them intensensely but no matter how often i hide the ads another similar one eventually appears. The ad targetting is often quite general, eg over 18, women, in the UK which is why they keep coming through. The content is very fan-fiction like, sub Twilight guff. I don't think it's the kind of crap that should be pushed on people that haven't expressed an interest in it.

LobsterNapkin · 10/09/2021 19:01

I've never seen these on FB - how they decide what people might like seems odd, for a while they seemed to think I was into rugby.

But these kinds of books were quite popular for a while, there was one about a woman captured by a tribe of yetis and became a sex slave, and one about a women whose boss was a T-Rex and they had a torrid affair which I believe was on the rough side.

There really is no accounting for taste.

LobsterNapkin · 10/09/2021 19:03

And I think Boomkin is right - this stuff is written for the same reason similar themes are frequently found in more mainstream romance - the books sell like hotcakes. )Maybe not the t-rex ones, but werewolves and vampires were quite the thing for some time.)

PlanDeRaccordement · 10/09/2021 19:28

Many of these sexual fantasy books are written for women by women.
They don’t cause sex crimes. If you’re talking about bodice ripper romances that have titles like
“His Captive Bride”
“Mail Order Bride and Her Judge”
“Fifty Shades of Grey” (yes E L James is a woman)
“My Highland Spy”
“The Governess and Brooding Duke”
“The Pirates Desire”

I used to work in a library and to allay the tedium of tidying the shelves I used to display the cover-facing ones as a theme, eg, the Greek Billionaire's Mistress; The Greek Billionaire's Baby. The Greek Billionaire's Virgin Mistress's Baby.

It's all fantasy nonsense and nothing to get too worked up about.

I couldn't find the one I was thinking of, but this might do the trick:

LobsterNapkin · 11/09/2021 02:41

Also - don't neglect to have a look at the "related books" and "customers also bought".

It's really not men reading this stuff.

caringdenise009 · 11/09/2021 09:59

It's not just Facebook. I am just trying to play Scrabble ( words with friends) and a manga game keeps being advertised. One of them has a character dressed as a school girl lying down while you swipe to remove her clothes, and another has a girl with massive breasts in a cut out shirt breathily repeating sorry master I am late sorry master. Can't even play Scrabble without this shit popping up.

Seriously. This isn't like you all think.
I cant find the post now but I have a screenshot of someone else saying how bad it is.
The one I skimmed through was violent rape with lots of vile detail which I will not repeat as would be extremely triggering.
Please dont treat me as if I'm some. Hysterical pearl clutcher.

Here's a study:

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19085605/

But it's not new information, I remember reading it in a psychology textbook back in the late 80s, and some of the studies it referenced were from the 60s.
