It happens to lots of people,me included..But of course it depends on the person and on the book..Some are not well written but some others are so well done that the scenes just turn you on...In the beginning,I wasn't a fan of erotica..However, as time passed,I read better books that didn't rely on the scenes but on the story itself..And that made the scenes a bonus not a necessary evil..xoxo...Now I am a fan of the genre..

Yes, if it reminds me of a..... happy... experience of my own, and if it is well written... if not then no, and the author will lose my respect.

I usually skip over those parts...mostly because the intimate details don't generally have much to do with the plot (depending of course on if it's erotica, in which case it's ALL the plot)...I'd rather read the story without those scenes.

I have never been turned on by reading a book. But then I suppose there is a first time for everything as the saying goes.

Yes, but it has to be a well written scene with the atmosphere and stuff, otherwise no.

If you want to test those waters, you can always read Fifty Shades of Gray.... if that doesn't do it for you then you can safely say that you are one that doesn't get turns on by books. WARNING:

This book is explicit- I would rename book one 'S&M for Dummies'. Your inner child may scream. Other than that... enjoy!

I'm also in my 20s and the answer would be yes but it depends on certain things. I find it is more likely to happen if there has been a lit of tension beforehand or if its a book I'm really absorbed in.

the first book I read that was shocking like this was "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" by Ann Rice. It described desire and need in such a sensual way. So I would say yes this is normal to feel a need when reading about sensuality.

I started really reading in fourth grade, I would lose myself in the books I read. I am now in my late 50's and I still get lost in a great book, I feel what the characters feel, so if they are turned on .....

When I read a well written romance section, I will sometimes find myself turned on. Sherrilyn Kenyon is such an author that writes scenes so well that I can imagine they are happening right in front of me or that I am the one recieving the kisses and such.

Not so much "turned on" more like amorous.

i think it all gets old fast. i read fifty shades for the story line, so i ended up just skipping over half the book because it was almost awkward to read. i dont know..i think i just prefer romance novels

A friend of mine loves Lara Leigh. I decided to give it a try.. I think I got aroused the first book i read. I am more about the plot, so after reading 2 books, I just started skipping over those scenes. I realized most of her books are similar so I just didn't bother with it. To me the plot is more interesting and important.

Oddly enough not in romance novels. I think it's because I expect it. It's those well written moments in other books (mystery and horror or whatever) that I wasn't seeing coming that excite and turn me on.

Absolutely.

There is a single page description in Follet's "Fal of Giants" between Maud and Walter in a theater box that is steamier than the whole trilogy of 50 Shades. A good writer doesn't need three books to convey an erotic thought.
