I enjoy reading sex scenes, but i find that a higher percentage of them are really *boring*. Not because I'm bored of sex, but because a) they're just going through the numbers (one finger, two finger, scissor, omg, stop), b) they're using way too much of the sex scene to natter on about consent, boundaries, and 'are you okay?' stuff, even when it's not BDSM/kink, or c) it's just really *bad*.
Good sex scenes do take a little work, and, of course, you have to find your audience/find your author. Some people will love what i loathe, and vice-versa, so it's all pretty subjective. But if i'm reading an explicit scene and rolling my eyes or skimming, well.... They're not the author for me.
