bodice ripper
A bodice ripper is a term often used to describe a specific sub-genre of historical romance novels that are usually set in the past and include explicit or graphic sexual content. The name comes from the stereotype of the male protagonist forcefully undressing the female protagonist, resulting in the ripping of her bodic, which was a type of women's clothing during the time periods these novels are often set in. These novels typically feature strong, virile, male heroes and beautiful, virginal, female leads. Nowadays, the term may be considered derogatory or dismissive for some, as it often undermines the plot complexities, character development, and historical context present in many of these works.
