I'll be grinning about that for the rest of the day! 
RE: Adult literature - 'thul - Jan-16-2012
Books like that one are why 'thul steer clear of that type of book.
Its fully ok to have the acts described, but when the story is a framework for the acts, rather than the acts being a natural part of the story, then something is wrong.
RE: Adult literature - fool-ish - Jan-16-2012
There may have been a story in there somewhere, but I was thinking 'Oh no, surely not again!' that often, I must have missed it! Most of us are quite capable of using our imagination to fill in the gaps..we don't need such full-on descriptions, though I do realise that vivid descriptions do appeal to some people. Whatever floats your boat, I suppose. For me, there are few authors who can write a sex scene well. Subtle but to the point does it for me.
RE: Adult literature - 'thul - Jan-16-2012
The way you described it, it was a story to fit the sex into, rather than sex fit into a story. Some might like that, but they are fewer than those that enjoy a good story.
RE: Adult literature - fool-ish - Jan-16-2012
It was exactly that.
RE: Adult literature - 'thul - Jan-16-2012
These beings thought just that.

I happen to be a big fan of erotic fiction. It's a guilty-pleasure for me; I call them my little "brain breaks." Whenever I read a series of, erm, "normal" fiction I tend to delve so far in to it with theories and possible outcomes I give myself headaches, hahah. In fact, I have a friend in California who, over the past 6 months, has swapped over 2,000 emails with me JUST picking apart ASOIAF and ROTE.
So erotic fiction is my brain break.. and so much better than cheesy romance novels. Like fool-ish said, I don't mind reading a bit of smut.
In fact, Albertsaurus Rex mentioned some erotic tentacle sci-fi book in another thread (speaking poorly of it) and I had to immediately go purchase it on my e-reader, hahah. There's a series of EXTREMELY graphic erotic fiction books I like mainly because of the world these characters are in. It's science-fiction and, while there are a lot of sex-scenes (and the story at the end is a bit too-good-to-be-true romance-ish plot), I like how much thought she put in to aspects of space-travel and certain technological advancements.
Joost, fool-ish, if you aren't afraid of some major smut - check out Morgan Hawke's Interstellar Service & Discipline series.
