No Sex Please, We’re Professionals: Career Depictions in Spicy Novels
Hannah Forsyth (Barrister), Rachel Shwenn-Harrison (Teacher) and Kate Stephenson (Historian)
Ever wondered if the brooding barrister, the tweed-clad historian, or the passionate teacher in your favourite spicy novel actually resemble their real-life counterparts? In this lively and revealing discussion, let us dissect how accurately these professions are portrayed in romance and erotica. Is there really time for torrid affairs between lectures, court cases, and marking papers and how hard is it to have sex in a historic house, supply closet or robing room? What practical realities do authors overlook and which depictions get surprisingly close to the truth?
