The statistic displays the results of a survey regarding the reading frequency of romantic and erotic fiction books in the Netherlands in 2018. The survey outcomes show that a large share of respondents rarely or never read romantic and erotic fiction books, while very few did so on a regular basis. Over 50 percent of survey participants indicated that they never read romantic and erotic fiction books, while the share of respondents who did so once a week or more was just six percent.
