I agree with you! And where is a writer's conscience when he writes something just to appeal to more readers????cameronleung wrote: ↑23 Aug 2020, 19:04 I am also confused with the book's constant sex scenes. It makes sense that the expeditioners would want to have sex and reproduce because they're the only humans in Zona, but it didn't have to be so free and frequent. I was not fond of these instances especially since it seemed to affect the women more and sexualize them. I think many of these parts could have been included just to appeal to the audience that enjoys erotic content.
Is Sex really necessary?

Inasmuch as, sex didn't go well in this type of book but, it isn't a distraction.

It's only natural for humans to squeeze time to fulfill their natural urges. It happens all the time, so the author didn't entirely lose it.

- Latest Review: ...on your way home...Do This by George Six
I really don’t think it should have been included in the book so I agree with you on this one. Such scenes feel like a waste of time and pages for a reader and can even ruin the experience of the book.Sushan wrote: ↑01 Jul 2020, 10:37 Despite all the dangers and the exhaustion from the expedition, Grant, the protagonist, finds time for sexual encounters.
Has the author depicted the true human nature? Or is this inclusion just to attract the readers who are fond of sexually explicit content? Is sexual content really necessary for fiction?
