Do romance novels lead to better sex for Mormon women?

OGDEN, Utah (RNS) Mormon leaders have condemned romance novels as "soft
porn," and literary critics long have railed against these fictional
yarns as "dope for dupes."

So why are so many self-described Mormon feminists drinking from
such a theologically poisoned well?

That's easy, say three women who've studied the genre. It's because
church leaders and critics are missing the messages of independence and
empowerment embedded in a genre written largely by women, for women and
about women.
