Is Sex really necessary?

[Sushan Ekanayake]

I didn't mind the inclusion of sex scenes, but the number of sex scenes was the problem for me. Some of those scenes could have been replaced with more scenarios of Grant looking for his uncle or finding clues.

Once or twice is okay. But when unnecessarily repeated it becomes annoying

[Arite Seki]

I think it may not have been misplaced as sexual urges are not a foreign concept to most. I do however believe that, as is the case with most books today, that sex sells and so authors may add a sex scene in a book to keep their readers interested and engaged.

Yes, that will definitely attract some audience, but some of the audience might loose interest for the plot as well

I personally didn’t think that the inclusion of sex was necessary because it can distract the audience from the plot. It also felt like it was forced into the plot sometimes. On a expedition like that, I didn’t think that there would be enough time for love-making.

There may be not have been a need to include sex in the plot, but Grant been a man and with sexual urges that may have been reason enough to include them.

That is what I thought as well. During such an expedition how can the protagonist find time for his own pleasures

I think the same. In so many books, erotic scenes look very unnecessary. Probably, the authors were simply afraid that without sex and romance their books would sell poorly.

[Misael Carlos]

i don't think it is necessary in general, and it depends on the plot. However, I would say sex is always at the foremost of our minds and probably, instinctively, the writer gravitates to it naturally.

Maybe that might have been the reason for the inclusion of such scenes

As a fact, that is the most prevalent thought in human mind, so naturally anyone gravitates towards that

[Adeniyi+samson-]

Well, it's just human nature to have a sexual urge. Some readers may not see some aspect of this novel complete without it.

That maybe true for some of the audience, but for some it maybe not

[TasiWin]

Personally, I don't think it is if it doesn't add on to the essence of the book.
Otherwise, it ends up feeling forced

[joenduga12]

Fleshly desires can be suppressed, or even gone, in the face of dangers or problems one face. So, in my own opinion, sexual desires doesn't seems to arouse anytime. So it's occurrence in the scene seem to be unnatural.

[docfatima]

If sexual content increases the interests of readers would you fault the author in including them in his/her writing??
it seems quite natural to have such scenes in an adventure novel.
