Let's talk about sex...
Humpin'.
Pumpin'.
Horizontal jogging.
Getting plunged.
Shagging.
Or just plain fuckin'.
How much is too much when it comes to reading a story? I'm a strong believer that there should be no sex in a story that's unwarranted, and the level of description should also be in line with the story. Sometimes the genre "defines" the amount of sex the story should have--if any.
And then there's the question of contraception. Is it the responsibility of author to be PC and assure the reader that characters are practicing safe sex?
Is there really a reason for all of this or are we--as readers and/or authors--just conditioned to follow the herd and stay within certain boundaries?

Well as Luther said,"Never too much,never too much!"Though I have to agree that it should be in the flow of the story.Grown people in a relationship have sex,that is a reality.Also,in this day and time of HIV/STD's the mention of condom useage should pop up somewhere in the story.
Condom usage YES!
Sex in the middle of a board meeting...MAYBE...unwarranted or sex for sex sake in the middle of a story is off putting...unless the dude and the chick are the only ones in the meeting and they're involved...wow I think I'm getting ideas...lol
