It is unfortunate that so many readers thought it was a detraction from the main story, as I see sex as a part of life especially for young persons such as Grant. Perhaps the author could have done more to make the sex more seamless with the plot rather than a detraction. I daresay that some people have trouble managing the balance in real life as well.

"If I was really concerned, I knew I shouldn't get so deeply involved with her, but I was desperate for her sex."
What kind of a sentence is that? Her sex is female. Is he planning on becoming one too? He also wants to be female? I have no issue with that, but this isn't the same thing as wanting to have sex with someone, which is clearly what the author was going for. And has this author ever had sex with anyone before? It doesn't appear that way. It was filler material for a guy that ran out of time and ran out of plot.

I agree with you, the sex scenes in the book are not totally unnecessary. It is just one of those things in life.Carennkemdiala wrote: ↑02 Jul 2020, 02:47 I would be dishonest if I said that the sex scenes in the book were totally unnecessary. For me, sex is a natural occurrence and everyone would normally have urges, it’s now left for you as a person to decide to physically get involved sexually or not. So generally, I think it was just normal for Grant as a young guy to have sex even amidst the quest of finding his Uncle. The book is a good read.

I thought so too. But I also understand that reader preference varies, and I think the unnecessary sex was included to rake in a larger reader base.
