Many people (90% of people who describe their story as romance) on Wattpad have this problem.

Ladies. Gentlemen.

There is a difference between classy and trashy. Allow me to demonstrate:

Classy = Elizabeth Bennet

Trashy = Who ever the hell is the main character of Twilight (honestly don't know the name)

Classy = Becky Sharp (and she's a villainess who seduces men, by the way) 

Trashy = That "50 shades" (*shudder*) person

Notice anything? No? Well the main difference between classy and trashy is that in the classy books the author is not revealing their own personal, sick fantasy to the reader. There's still romance, drama, and a hell of a lot of other stuff going on but we're not exposed to your attempt to make up for years of sexual repression. And the stories are still sexy and hot -- there's no explicit descriptions however (aka privates flying around the room, complete with descriptions of said privates).

Guess which one I -- like most other critics out there -- don't want to read?

You get three guesses and the first two don't count.

It's the trashy ones.

Write romance stories if you so desire. But if you want to know that lonely, sad people are fapping to your story, be trashy. If that image scarred you forever and you will never, ever write anything that is sexually explicit (and I'm counting the whole "throbbing staff" and "pool of moisture" stuff), be classy. Because classy is sexy. Trashy is not.
