It's not the *only* thing I read, but I like YA because I'm asexual and YA is much less likely to have random unnecessary explicit sex scenes.

[(Anonymous)]

I would say 90% to 95% of the books that I read do not include explicit sex scenes, and I don't read YA.

[(Anonymous)]

wanna name a few?

Yoko Ogawa: Hisoyaka no Kessho

Is that a book that has been published in English, or are you just showing off?

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT

It's been translated, the English title is The Memory Police.

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, I couldn't remember the English name at the moment. And in quite a few countries, knowing more than one language isn't "showing off".

[(Anonymous)]

Right? I'm wondering WTF kind of books anon is reading here.

Depends on the genre you read. It's also a gamble. YA books will definitely not contain explicit sex scenes (although there are some that come close, it's just "R-rated instead of NC-17 and would have to be toned down or removed for the teen movie adaptation" close.) but adult books might every so often and I understand why some people who hate explicit sex scenes would just not wanna bother.

This

I mostly read non-fiction, so of course I don't see a lot of sex scenes. But the latest book I read with random sex scene was like 5 years ago and it was It. I don't think there are a lot of people who are happy about this scene...

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly even the books that I do read with explicit sex scenes, it's usually like, 1 or 2 sex scenes, each of which lasts 1-2 pages

Unless you're actively seeking out smutty romance novels, it seems very very uncommon to find a book that really goes beyond that and has constant sex scenes

[(Anonymous)]

And even the vast majority of "explicit" sex scenes aren't anything worse than you'd find in an R-rated movie or M-rated TV show. We're generally not talking full-out erotica here unless you're reading a smutty romance novel, like you said.

When there's something that you don't like, even a couple of pages of it can be *annoying*.

[(Anonymous)]

But that doesn't make it "random" or "unnecessary."

Element of Fire and Death of the Necromancer by Martha Wells, and all the Ile-Rien sequels. (Actually, anything by Martha Wells - she always jumps to fade-to-black.)

The Time of the Dark by Barbara Hambly, plus sequels. (Also, fade-to-black)
