Pity really. I REALLY shouldn’t have brought this subject up.:shock::lol::oops:

If there is an explicit act happening, it's happening no matter how it's written. And those who object to sexual content, are going to object to sexual content no matter how it's written. As I said in my own comments: To me, content means all of it. Not just language, but the action, how explicit it is - because it can be X-rated without ever using a single raw or foul word simply because of the acts being described!

The sex has to come naturally, and be a part of the growth of the characters and their relationship. I just can't get into books that are sex for the sake of sex. There has to be more to it to make me happy as a reader. As far as ratings...I dunno if I agree with that. I think if the book has EROTIC ROMANCE stamped on it, that should give the reader a clue!
