I read the better ones my wife recommends to me although she reads the genre much more than me. Also there are a few other husbands in our friend group who do the same. If I read too much romantacy in a row I wonder why my normal fantasy doesn't have sex scenes for a little while.

Fantasy is funny like that. Its either all chaste and sexless or extremely smutty. I like a mix

I am a man and have read a few romance novels all of which were in the romantasy genre. I have enjoyed them so far. As a demographics go, I think its mostly female and queer orientated. At least for the more modern books. They are having their moment. I know of a few romance specific book stores opening in larger cities.
