Role of sex in books?
How much of a role do you think sex should play in a good novel? This includes all the genres except the romance/erotic novels of course.
I got to thinking of classics (again excluding romantic classics) and I can't think of 1 sex scene in the whole bunch. Do you think it was more a sign of the times? Or is it just distracting in a good book that has a real message? I mean, it's certainly a lot more realistic for the characters to be having sex in the book, just like they would in real life. So what do you think? Will the classics of the future have sexual exploits in them?
