pretty sex scenes 🚫 cringe
personally im over very crass, poorly written sex scenes. especially in fantasy! if an author has built this gorgeous, well written world, i expect the sex scenes to be held to that same standard. if they aren’t I find they take me out of the story and I just cringe (I.e when they use a lot of crass language, no chemistry, feels sudden for no reason)
so here are some books that I’ve found the sex scenes are written as beautifully as the rest of the book, or aren’t cringe!
