Fornicula

A combination descriptive term derived from the words "fornicate" and "formula" used to describe a type of literature (usually of a romantic or sensual theme) that relies unnecessarily on coarse words, modernly stereotypical character development and repetition of limited terminology throughout erotic passages. Basically, an uninspired style of grinding out predictable porn under the guise of modern and/or kick-ass romantic literature.

Antonym: purple prose
