I'm currently reading a gothic novel that fetishizes male physique in a weird way. The protagonist keeps gushing about muscles, raw-ness and stuff like that which I channelled in the first description of the prince. So that's my impression of what hetero women find hot, but I'm a bit puzzled. Another thing I tried was to have dialogue without explicitly calling out who says what. That's something I've been struggling with in my past stories. Overall, I wanted to write something in the fairy tale genre. I might have misremembered Beauty and the Beast.
