I'm not sure if we're the same in this regard, but I can relate to your secret at least partially.

Personally, I like knowing that there is some smut in the story somewhere. Seeing that red E on AO3 makes me happy. But 99% of the time, it's the development of the characters' relationship that I live for. The getting to know each other, and the not-quite-realizing that they're falling hard for each other, and the getting shit-scared when they realize they're in too deep, and the pining and the angsting and the denial and the lusting and all of that. Also, if it's written well, I genuinely like a good plot in my fics. I mean, beyond the plot of "they fall in love." I like an actual plot, and a "they fall in love" plot.

Sometimes an author manages to write sexytiems in a way that really, really works for me, and it's a damn precious gift when it happens. But the majority of the time, the sexytiems isn't nearly as delicious to me as what came before it.

And generally the longer the snogging/foreplay/sex scene goes on for the more likely I am to be kind of bored by it. Like, a couple of pages is great, but 4, 5, 6 thousand words? Not my cup of tea.
