GWEN First and foremost: as stated in the original post, this thread is about helping writers write sex scenes. It was not titled āDo you think sex scenes belong in books?ā. The First line of your post was āI am a woman who hates graphic, pornographic sexual descriptions!ā Which, right off the bat is counter-productive to the conversation, considering the context of the conversation. A commenter named Towel up top said that he doesnāt like romance period, but then actually gave constructive alternatives writers could use. You were more morally grandstanding than actually contributing to the conversation.
You were also literally discouraging writers from following their own vision at the end of your post. Saying that if theyāre having difficulty writing it, then they shouldnāt. Writers get blocked or hung up on certain plot points, but that doesnāt mean they shouldnāt write it if they feel itās important to their story.
All authors are told to put content warnings on their synopsis and/or the chapters that have trigger content. It is your choice to read those books. If an author failed to put a warning on, then by all means: contact customer service and lodge a complaint. That is what they are there for.
As I said, in my personal opinion: that you are narrow-minded and bigoted mainly because you said sex should be between a Married Man and Woman. I have many friends that are members of the LGBTQ community, and there are MANY on Webnovel. Not to mention the fact that I have two beautiful nieces, and their parents have been together for almost fifteen years: not married.
They pay WAY less in taxes that way, and they donāt believe a piece of paper is what actual love is about. On the other hand; I am married. I wanted the wedding, honeymoon, etc.. TO EACH THEIR OWN, I SAY. That is why I said you were bigoted and narrow minded, not JUST because you think it should be reserved for the marriage bed.
Now, as to your reply:
Again, this thread was made to Help writers create sex scenes. No to be a place for you to morally grandstand on your wobbly pedestal. How can you say, in your original post that āyou werenāt speaking for anyone elseā, but in your second post literally say:
GWEN Overall, Sarah, my comment was a complaint about how today's society has literally sexed most of us out.
Of course some might agree with you, and thatās fine. But that was not what this thread was about...
Second:
....When/why did kids get brought into this?
GWEN I'd like to add one other thing: influence. These stories influence those impressionable children to have sex.
This was a post about helping WRITERS. What PARENTS AND GUARDIANS allow their children to see is generally up to them. All technology now adays has parental controls, age guidelines, and content warnings. Not to mention actually being a PARENT OR GUARDIAN, and having vital discussions with their kids.
My overall point:
You came to morally grandstand and troll instead of providing any useful insight or content. Donāt come here and complain about author content when you donāt contribute anything but negative opinions.
Complain to parents, TV stations, etc.. But leave the ARTISTS alone. Donāt like it, donāt read it. Super Simple.
P.S. Itās Sara, not Sarah...
