Oh, I've seen people who've defended it as a naturally good book. I've seen people who got annoyed when other people call the book "just porn", and that the books are a "good love story". There are people out there who think that the writing is good, the story is romantic, and that the books shouldn't be classified as "porn".
If the novel was written from a man's POV, then men would probably read it. Women are stereotypically the ones to read porn novels, while men just want the real thing and go on the internet and watch porn themselves. I'm not saying this is true with all men and women, but this is the stereotype that I've noticed.
IIN that I think this way about people who like "50 Shades of Grey"?

Yikes, that's pushing it. Although, again, I've only heard tiny snippets, which really isn't enough to base my judgement on, I guess.
The main reason I disagree is because I know so many exceptions to your description. Also, I couldn't agree more with bristexai.
