I do not think that the adult scenes were over-used, and it was not disturbing for me. In my opinion, I think the author tried to incorporate it so as to show the detailed level of the love that was shared between the parties involved.

No, it didn't. But it would bother most people.

I think it was more of a matter of taste and what really bothers you in the rest of the world. I think it is really easy to say that a lot of things are over done in everything, but that doesn't really change that there are people out there who do enjoy those things.

The adult scenes were a little bit wildy. This book should be kept out of youngs' read.

It didn’t bother me at all, it really portrayed what happens in reality. The book was written excellently well, I loved the fact that it felt I was in it. I loved every bit of it and I wasn’t bothered

Adult scenes don't bother me as an individual. It does not matter the quantity of adult scenes, I am naturally unbothered by their presence

The adult scenes in Wild World are overused in my opinion. I don't like books that have too many adult scenes because it off put me from enjoying the book. Aside from adult scenes, other things in the book appeal to me.

Given that it wasn't very explicit, it didn't concern me at all. However, I believe that even without them, the story still would have moved wonderfully.

They were not needed. The author went into way too much detail to the point where I was starting to get uncomfortable. Even a simple suggestion that that's what they were getting into would have been enough.
I guess he was trying to accurately portray the times, but really the book would have worked fine without them.

Not really. A crime thriller with a sprinkle of romance is always welcomed. Plus it broke the tension of a looming clash.

It is not just you. I agree with you. I always get annoyed by these scenes and I believe that they add nothing to the storyline.

Depends on the reader. I guess some people would enjoy them. I was disturbed especially by the Pot scenes.

Yes, the adult scenes seem overused at some point, there are some details that the author is supposed not to dive into but rather they make the book a little bit annoying, especially the description of the sex scene.
