Fin's Wrong Ideas

Where do you draw the line at too much sex in a novel?

Sex is becoming commonplace in our commercials, tv shows, internet, and even video games. There are people who want it on every page. There are people who don’t want it at all.

I don’t mind sex in a novel, but I don’t think it should be gratuitous. I am also one of those who thinks the book is always better than the movie. So poorly written gratuitous sex is sorta like watching a bad movie….you’re sorry you spent the money and sorry for the waste of time. Sex should add to the story, not overshadow it. That’s the way I like to think of it. Sex scenes can be fun, titillating, or even scary.

Genre can be misleading as well. You can find sex scenes in most Romance novels, but it’s becoming common in standard fiction and even my favorite sci-fi/fantasy. I’ve heard rumors of some of those books being put in young adult literature sections. How does that even work? Do I really want my kid reading that? As an adult I can make those decisions for myself…but children?
