Sex scenes in books turn my stomach .

@reubles my TBR has a lot to answer for.

@goliathtree thank the lord

@SevenTierCrazyCake It was mostly grunting.

@goliathtree too far!

@Degbeme Hmm

@Carissimi I can't judge because my sexuality is odd in general but I believe that the least anybody can do is to leave that stuff for separate erotica genre. Is it so hard to not spoil a good book with someone's subjective detailed sexual fantasies? Are men okay with reading about detailed gay sex scenes? I doubt so.

If you read a romance novel, or watch an x-rated movie because it has some steamy scenes then it’s up to personal choice, but if you think you are reading, or watching something that’s not advertised as such, then that’s not right, and it does spoil it for you. Where the Witcher and the Neuromancer like this? I never watched past the first episode of the first because I thought it may be too violent, and I never heard of Neuromancer. @CrazyMusicLover

@Carissimi I'm not sure if it was a sex scene or some man fantasizing about some woman sexually but it was right on the first pages of The Witcher. It's the very beginning, that's why I have no idea what it all is about. I was put off right off the bat and unmotivated to read anything further. If I was going to read a book aware it contains these scenes because they are relevant for the story then I wouldn't mind but I was in a mood for completely different themes.

I have eclectic preferences in reading material. From classics to adventure, Sci-Fi, to romance and biographies, and history. I usually have a season of one of these based on my mental and emotional state. If I’m lonely or feeling like I need a pick me up, I’ll go for light, romantic reading that’s has a happy ending, but it has to also be an intelligent read with a good background story, usually with some historical accuracy. Ive been reading Juliann Maclean lately, and she’s a very good writer, but these later novels are so full of loss, it’s depressing. Now, I’ve gone to something lighter with a really good story. @SevenTierCrazyCake

@Carissimi I'll look her up

She’s written a lot of historical romance novels, but her more recent ones have been about life, loss, and finding love again. Still, even though love is found again, its a bit too close to home for my sensibilities right now. I don’t recall any sex, more than kissing, in the recent ones, and like I said, she’s a good writer. @SevenTierCrazyCake

@Captainjackass except I'm adorable
