How I feel about explicit content usually depends on it's relevance to the story. If showing the characters in a sexual setting contributes to the story and helps us gain new insights to a facet of their relationship then I'll read it and appreciate the perspective.

If it's smut that's only there to be smut then I might not even read the book. If your story is so weak you have to try to entice me by presenting me with porn in hopes that it will keep me turned on enough to continue reading then your story probably sucks, or it's a harlequin romance novel, which means it sucks. I have more respect for straight up porn since that doesn't generally pretend it's selling me an actual story.

To summarize, whether or not I'll read it and enjoy it really depends on it's importance to the plot and the character development.
