✨Guide to The Pleasure Index

Welcome.
You’ve just stumbled into something filthy, tender, devastating, and alive.

The Pleasure Index + is a queer publication for those who feel too much, fuck like it means something, and want stories that ache long after the last sentence.

I’m Rowan Thornwell, your guide, your author, your hot mess. Here, we explore everything from confessional smut to sacred longing and poetry that tastes like prayers.

Every piece lives in a world where the body tells the truth, and we listen.

📚 Want to Binge Something Serial, Sexy, or Strange?

Welcome to Tales ~ your home for the long game.

They rotate, seasonally and sensually.

A new Holemates chapter every Saturday.
The others? Watch the stars... or the notes.

📖 Want to Go All the Way?

These aren’t just stories. These are books ~ full-bodied, filthy, and unforgettable.

Here you’ll find:

• Novels that ache across decades, motel rooms, and haunted bodies

• Snippets from upcoming titles, leaked like pre-cum just for you

Start with whatever breaks you gently ~ or wrecks you completely.

New releases drop often.
Signed copies go to the devoted.
And if you’re already reading... you’re already mine.

~ by Rowan Thornwell, Plain Smut, Marlo Sin, and R. J. Thornwell.

This is the part where you pretend you're not hard. Or haunted.

You don’t need to catch up.
You just need to come often.

I’m here. I’m Rowan.
And I write like I fuck ~ daily.
