Tok Dirty To Me 🫦

Remember the Fifty Shades of Grey craze, where everyone from grandmas to teens was sneakily adding the book (and maybe handcuffs) to their carts? Flash forward to today. The sizzle is absolutely exploding on social media! 💣

Welcome to #SmutTok, TikTok's spiciest corner, where being "smutty" is a whole vibe. 🍆

Here in this corner of the internet, erotic romance novels are being celebrated. Fans are boldly sharing their raciest desires, juciest reviews and recommending steamy books. Fans have come up with a spice meter rating 🌶️ of one to five pepper emojis for steamy and sizzling reads. Let this tiktoker explain. Not satisfied with the spice meter, another enthusiast has devised a juicier system, the wet-o-meter. Oh yes, this will tell you just how 'drenched' 💦 💦 a book can make you feel (a much more accurate scale IMO)! 🍑

Here you can freely discuss your favourite tropes like the 'one-bed trope,' where fate pushes the main characters to share a single room and a SINGLE BED (faint!), 🥰 sparking undeniable chemistry. Or the lean against the door frame trope (swoon). 😍

SmutTok users are reviving romance literature and setting internet ablaze. They are owning their desires on the main, without a blush. So should you. 🚀 🌊

Ready to dive in to some cliterature? Start with the queen of steam, Sarah J Maas, who has long transported readers to realms of erotic intrigue. Check out Throne of Glass, A Court Of Thorn and Roses. Or mix things up with the irresistible narratives of Tessa Bailey, Scarlet St. Clair, LJ Shen, Penelope Douglas and more and more. Take a gamble on books based on your zodiac and kinks. Into some alien romance? Evangeline Anderson WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. Take it up a notch and listen to her on Spotify.

So spice up your self with a book boy friend or train your current one (good luck)!
