If it's important to the story I love me some steamy scenes.
Especially if it's been built up and the tension is high. When you've been waiting for the characters to get together.It's just when it's sex for the sake of sex and starts to feel smutty that it bugs me. The Anita Blake series was getting like that for awhile but thankfully the last two books have focused more on the action and adventure parts. There's still sex and frankly, quite a bit of it but it's doesn't feel like porn anymore.

[Fiyero]

If its immaturely done, I roll my eyes and continue on. Otherwise, it doesn't exactly phase me.

[Putterfly]

Nah, I prefer to read the whole book :D

[NessaRose]

i read the parts, its no big deal, though i did get a book that had short erotic stories, and i will admit, all the sex did get alittle disturbing.

[Alpha]

I read through and might glance at again once or twice, but honestly it's part of the story so I see no reason why not to. It is perfectly natural and part of being human.

[Tiva]

I read them and if it is well written or something I haven't thought about trying I will read them several times over and then grin evilly. I can still remember a scene were the 'helpless maiden' was covered head to toe in spiced rum and licked clean. I am a visual reader, and there for some scenes stay stuck in my mind. The sex scenes aren't the most important thing but damn do they make a book good.

[DarkForbidden-Love]

I read them like the rest of the book. But the genre I read most often won't have sex senses unless they are really odd/out of this world. They hold no special meaning to me but I don't skip them.

[Zenella]

The books I read don't normally have sex in them (though sometimes I'm like dying for it to happen >.>) but when I do read books that have sex in them, I pay close attention to it. Mostly because I need to learn how to write sex scenes and reading it helps me learn. But hey, it's hawt when written properly ;D

[Alpha]

Some of mine do, and even with them I read it all.

[Toxic Rainbow Kisses]

If there is "Sexy time" in a book, I just read through it, because its part of the book. It doesn't get any special attention xD

I read the sexy parts at LEAST five or six times. <.<; Especially if you know.. its taken four or five books to lead UP to the sexy time. I'm all "ITS ABOUT. FREAKING. TIME. GOD." -reads six times- I just enjoy reading about it, you know? I'm a physical person, and I get SO very attached to the characters I'm reading about. So if they score, mentally, I score. XD;

Does that sound weird to anyone else?

totally agreed. That is like the main reason i love paranormal romances because they have vampires and werewolves and all the good stuff doing while still having a plot :) they are amazing!

[Merr]

Hrmm.. In most 'good' books that I read, there's at least a sex scene a book.
Sex makes it seem a hell of a lot more realistic - especially when well-executed and purposeful (IE someone enjoying it or not, doing it to procreate or to demonstrate a pivotal moment).

Sometimes I read them twice, if I realized I just shot through that scene like an arrow.. >//> (I do this for battle scenes a lot as well! XD; ) But usually I only read a passage once.

Right now I'm reading a Song of Ice and Fire, and Gosh.. Dany's sex scenes were the best. >_>

Tyrion sex scenes make me feel like I know tyrion much better.. I commend George R R Martin for using sex in such a good way :)

[Umaeril]

I will scan read sex parts because I find the actual description of sex itself to be generally boring. Most of these scenes are filler. I am thinking of books like Anita Blake Vampire Hunter and stuff of that paranormal genre where there are vampires or whatever having sex with each other. The ookie Stackhouse kind of stuff though I actually never read those books.

Where it is not simply uninteresting filler I will read it. Something that moves the story forward.

I know this is different from most but I am older than most of you and frankly been there done that.

[Ducky]

I will read the sex sections, but I can't say I find them very interesting. They're just boring and stop the story from progressing. I don't read for sexy times, i read for story.

[Karliah]

' sort of a perv, so if a book has sex I'm like, "Oh sex, I'm going to read this part slowly."
It's not that big of a deal to me if a book has sex or not though, books for older readers, not counting erotica which is sexy for the sake of being sexy, will have sex scenes sometimes.

[Kit Katy]

I do happen to come upon them, especially the in the In Death Series by J.D Robb. It's clear J.D enjoyed writing the sexy bits but I cannot seem to read them. I do want to! I'm all for the sexy man and woman. But, I cannot 'read' it. I get all bashful, pull the books away, and eventually skim through it. Kinda silly now that I think about it...Why be embarrassed over something fictional and written on paper?...

Family. FAMILY! I am freaken easy to read. A few close friends know from the start if I read something kinky. I turn into a bright tomato.
