Agreed for the simple fact that the sex is actually an important part of the character/relationship development. There are plenty of shows that have gratuitous sex scenes; this is not one of them.

This is it for me, too. Plenty of things have gratuitous sex scenes I find tiresome, but the sex scenes in Heated Rivalry feel integral to the story. (Insert "load-bearing sex scenes" joke here.) It's ok if someone doesn't like them, but IDK how valid it is to claim to like the story and then say, "Except for the sex scenes." Feels like saying, "I like what the show could be if it were focused on different things and had different narrative priorities."

I don't necessarily agree that someone is a prude for complaining about the sex scenes, but it does feel like a case of, just because you dislike it doesn't mean it's a flaw; some things just aren't for you.

Exactly. I totally get being annoyed by gratuitous sex scenes because I'm firmly of the belief that if you can take something out without it affecting the story or the characterization in any way, it shouldn't be there in the first place. That isn't the case for the sex scenes in Heated Rivalry.

It's like being upset that, IDK, Saving Private Ryan has violence. The violence/sex is there for a reason; it's part of the story and if you're not comfortable with that then this thing just isn't for you, like you said.
