I just got done reading Ressurection, the author's name escapes me at the moment. The book started out with out sex but as the book went on I could almost best money that every chapter would have sex in it and every time sex occured it was more and more explicit than the time before.
The book wasn't bad- if you exclude the sex, it just wasn't needed that much for the story line to progress.
There are some books I have Read where if it happens a couple of times it can help with the story- It just irritates me to add it when it dousn't help.
Discuss:
Unexpected Sex/romance scenes
Unneeded Sex Scenes
Irritating Reoccuring Themes in Books

Yeah i just finished Snowcrash and in like the last fifty pages or so there was this random sex scene and I was like umm that was nice but what does this do for the story, I think the author just wanted the last part to be spicey?? I don't know it was weird

The only books I read that happen to have sex sceans in them have a tendancy to make it really relevent to the development of characters and relationships. Mabye it's the type of books I prefer that makes this so. I don't enjoy reading books were there is obviously going to be sex. xp That is why I don't touch those romance paperbacks. scream My friend made me read a part from one of her historical romance novels. It had no use to the development of the book, and it was pretty explicit. eek My youthful innocence was corupted...

I unknowingly started reading Fear of Flying without knowing what it was about. It's Super Explicit, it puts Sex and the City and similar to shame. lol

I've read many books where the sex pops out at you. I actually began reading the Anita Blakes at 12, admittedly before they became essentially porn, but there was sex. I think that the best way to handle sex in general is to either keep it very subtle or else make sure it is extremely plot relevant. There are several examples of very relevant sex, for example in Jaqueline Carey Kushiel series. The main character spies on assignations and only plot relevant ones get more than a passing reference generally.

My professor never mentioned how demented and psychotic our current text is. Crash, by J. G. Ballard. It has tons of gratuitous sex, violence and other nasty fetish-type stuff. It's not for the squeamish. Seriously, beware.
