Too Much Love Scenes?

[almeidabel]

If the book is an erotic novel then I think."too much sex" isn't really a thing but when it's meant to be a regular romance then their shouldn't constantly be sex and that should be minor.

I agree with this. Erotica is basically literary porn. If you are looking for the ups and downs of the plot in there you wont find much and should definitely look for a normal romance novel where there isn't high priority on sex and might even only allude to it rather than going into detail where as erotica has sex as the central focus. With erotica people want to know everything. How big was he, how supple was she, etc etc. It is definitely not a book to just take places and read in public. Although I definitely still have a few on both my phone and nook. But that's me. I'm not embarrassed to just read it. Most are.

Although I have no problem with reading about the love scenes, I do believe there can be too many in a book. I have read books where it seems that every few pages there is a sex scene. I definitely felt like it was overkill. I like a nice mix where the author tells the store and there are a decent amount of love scenes.

I also like a decent amount of love scenes. Also a balance between the story and lovemaking

I am a lover of Romance myself but as the old adage goes, too much of everything is poison.I prefer books that have just enough of those scenes.

I do not particularly like romance novels and I detest erotica simply because it feels awkward when I am "watching" a sex scene. I feel it is useful in some instances and can reflect the characters. I read in a book about literature that sex scenes in good literature are rarely about the actual sex and I tend to agree.

I think we can say that we can differentiate romance books with a romantic storyline, real romantic and also sometimes love scenes, from erotic books. In romantic books generally, there aren't many love scenes, they are climaxes of the story. On the other hand in erotic books love scenes can be the pillars of the plot, and in a way, they arc over the whole book. So the point where you feel there are too many of those scenes can be different. I believe that it can get to a point where these scenes, even in erotic books, don't give anything new to the reader, because they are written always in the same way.

Yes I think there is such a thing as "too much love scenes". I think that's why I never read erotica. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
