Too sexy

I've started several blogs but none of them seemed to say what I wanted to say. We'll see how this one does.

Have you ever read a book with too much sex?

*blinks* I used to think that wasn't possible. Really I did.

Until...I read a book a few years ago that was pretty much one sex scene after another. No character development, no plot to speak of, just a string of sexual exploits.

I couldn't get into it. At all. I'm sure some people did, but it just wasn't for me.

Then a popular author that I read got into sexual situations in her books. And I found myself again saying, "I think this has too much sex!" Shocked me. But the sex came off cold. Almost clinical. There was little emotion behind it and I didn't feel like it did anything for the characters. It just was filler in a way.

I've definitely come to realize, books can have too much sex. I need an emotional connection between the main characters. I like sexual tension.

A tv show disappointed me the other night with a bedroom scene. It really had little build up in the episode. Now this is a comedy, on regular network TV. But dang it, they had an earlier episode that was uber sexy with lots of sexual tension. This one, the current bedroom scene, seemed dropped in. I didn't feel it and trust me, with these characters, I wanted to feel that connection. Of course I think the point will be them recovering from this round of sex. But it still was a disappointment.

So what works for you in a sex scene?
