THE SMUT MEME FOR HISTORY NERDS

THE SMUT MEME FOR HISTORY NERDS
(aka the historical au smut meme)


Historical fiction is an extremely popular genre, from westerns to high fantasy that is inspired by European history to films set in World War II. With most of the people from all of these eras being either long dead or immortalized by folklore, the settings themselves seem exotic and characters in themselves. The genre also allows modern readers to explore topics from the past.

Historical romance...or erotica, as it most likely is, is a subgenre described by the almighty Wikipedia as "set before World War II." Whatever the case may be, these days, a historical setting can give extra flavor to the usual sex scenes. After all, who wouldn't want to be a pirate getting some booty, a ninja in love with a priest/ess, or a greaser with a little hunka' hunka' burnin' love?

Today, the Hotel is giving its, erm, inhabitants a change of backdrop. Not just one, either. One person might find themselves in Ancient Egypt, another in Spain during the Inquisition. Of course, it wouldn't be fun if they were all themselves; some will think they belong in this time, in this world, while some may know that they're a (wo)man out of time. In fact, that's part of the fun. Whatever the case is, it wouldn't be The Love Hotel without, you guessed it, sex, so these time periods may be a bit more erotically charged .

Just know that, despite the invention of condoms usually not existing where you're going, everything you do is completely safe.

Mostly.
