I’m currently listening to The Court of Thrones and Roses series and I’m so tired of the sex scenes. They are highly detailed and last a long time without adding anything to the story. It’s gotten to the point I just skip them and hope nothing important happens.
I’m on the third book right now and it’s the first series in a while that has truly pulled me in with its amazing fantasy world and fun magic system but it will go from important plot developments to a 10 minute sex scene that just brings the story to a halt. I am interested in the love connections and get excited when the characters I ship finally get together but I don’t need every intimate detail of their sex life.
Edit: To clarify I understand that romantic/erotic is a genre that a lot of people enjoy but I’m talking about when sex isn’t the point of the book.
