For the most part (I'm sure there's an exception I can dredge up somewhere) the dialogue heavy sex scene gets on my nerves in any genre. Because people just don't do that. LOL Or if they do, we don't need to read about it. LOL I am very much a fan of the understated in fiction.
I'm not gonna deny that sometimes I just want to read an over the top, melodramatic, schmoopy extravaganza, but the pieces that I come back to over and over--the ones that I think are the best fandom has to offer--are usually more pared down.
