Sex scenes, like sex itself, are all about the foreplay and the anticipation. If you can build a sense of anticipation though your writing, then by all means, I love smut! If you use a lot of 4-letter words and get right to it, ewwww.

I seek after things that are virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy.

It really depends, for me personally, on the style of writing. The author has to have good flow, and a good handle on what happens in real life, I don't know about you but I have never had my underwear torn from my body. Once sex becomes a joke I loose interest.

I agree. Not only about the actions depicted, but as Avid Reader suggests, the terminology. For example, has anyone ever seen a "throbbing member?"

Do you not believe that sex is a valid (and necessary) part of human life? And isn't fiction supposed to depict human life?
