Can you tell which Object Smut Books are real?

As the old internet saying goes, if it exists, there is porn of it. TikTok’s book community, or BookTok for short, has proven that the same is true for saucy romance novels. If it exists, someone has made it the romantic protagonist in a filthy book. Emphasis on It. You are now entering the world of sentient object filth. Welcome!
The genre is… exactly what it sounds like. A (usually) human protagonist falls in love with an object that has gained sentience through a curse, spell, or other paranormal powers. Cassie Durand, who runs the aptly named TikTok account @UnfortunateReads, has reviewed everything from gingerbread man smut to garden gnome smut to sparkly purple Crocs smut. “I have a soft spot for Enlighten me by Sabrina Cross,” says Durand, referring to a book that can be loosely described as Pixar erotica. “The entire story arose from a confusing Threads conversation I had with the author.”
If you’re new to this NSFW corner of the proverbial bookstore, you may not fully understand just how wide and broad the range of things porn film writers can do to get their characters to have sex. Consider the following an educational quiz. And now if you’ll excuse me, I need to clear the browser history.
