The sex is just an added bonus, but if the sex is all there is, and I've read stories like that, then I end up bored. I like to have some plot and characterization, that's what makes the sex hot.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749999963008830416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-51760144367084994472007-03-27T04:45:00.000-04:002007-03-27T04:45:00.000-04:00I agree with Luisa, the plot and characters are th...I agree with Luisa, the plot and characters are the most important thing and any hot sex is a bonus. <BR/><BR/>In my other life as a reviewer, I quickly got bored with reading yet another sex scene and often I'd skip it completely if it didn't have something different about it from the off. So when I buy a book just for me it's even more important that I find something that'd be satisfying emotionally if the sex wasn't a major part of the story. That's one of the reasons why I like slash so much, 9 times out of 10 you can find something emotionally pleasing as well as a story that gives you the hot sex bonus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-70777917125822371082007-03-27T00:14:00.000-04:002007-03-27T00:14:00.000-04:00Without a good plot to make me care for the charac...Without a good plot to make me care for the characters no matter how good the love scenes are, it would leave me disappointed...Even if the story only has one love scene in it,but the build-up to it was fantastic, I would be satisfied ! So, in short, a great plot and the hot scenes are a bonus.Luisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122594142437364919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-35735124002910041852007-03-26T21:58:00.000-04:002007-03-26T21:58:00.000-04:00I'm all for the plot, with build up to some wild s...I'm all for the plot, with build up to some wild sex...I don't like it when the characters have to wait too long for it..that's frustrating, but yeah, the plot is what is important.latetocomicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623376450892075725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-29402628024441991352007-03-26T18:50:00.000-04:002007-03-26T18:50:00.000-04:00Jumping on the "plot good" bandwagon :DI love some...Jumping on the "plot good" bandwagon :D<BR/>I love some hot sex scenes, but it means not much to me without a plot. I want to care about the characters, then it makes it sooo much hotter when they get horizontal. Or vertical, whatever LOL Plus, the more sex scenes there are, the more likely it is that it's going to get repetative. There really are a finite number of ways to do the nasty, after all, even taking into account toys and multiple partners.Ally Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474105387867981417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-48388909138535554012007-03-26T18:08:00.000-04:002007-03-26T18:08:00.000-04:00If the story is a dud, it doesn't matter how great...If the story is a dud, it doesn't matter how great the sex scenes are, it won't end up on my keeper shelf.Cathy Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09755004700955618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-58492058666397539052007-03-26T16:57:00.000-04:002007-03-26T16:57:00.000-04:00Definitely a good/great plot with lots of hot scen...Definitely a good/great plot with lots of hot scenes.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162872266952856630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-69281085671016064752007-03-26T11:06:00.000-04:002007-03-26T11:06:00.000-04:00Count me in the story comes first camp.

I certainly don't mind lots of sex even early on but give me enough plot/character wise to care about the boinking maniacs on the pages in front of me.Barbara Sheridanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136767476101027087noreply@blogger.com
