Because I write romance, they’re inevitable.
As a reader, I tend to skip over sex scenes in books. Truth be told, I find them boring. Society has been so over-saturated with sex, that whenever another scene pops up, I can’t help but think of the quote from Yugioh Abridged, “Sex isn’t sexy anymore.” Most of the time, I’m not sure how those scenes contribute to the plot, and skipping them has no negative effects on my experience of the novel.
As a writer, my current WIP has a fair amount of sex in it, because marriage and babies are a huge part of the story.
I prefer to take an abstract view, and focus on the emotional aspect of it. Strangers meet on Tinder all the time, but deeply in love soulmates melding into one; now that’s something different. I don’t want to make my readers horny, but to fill them with butterflies and giggles; there are already more than enough resources for the latter.
Society has done a lot to divorce love from sex, to the point where a lot of people believe that the two not only have nothing to do with each other, but can be detrimental to each other as well. I hope to illustrate that the two can be beautifully intertwined.

I love your view of sex in books! My belief is that if it doesn’t add to the story, it’s unnecessary. The way you describe it makes it into more than just a steamy scene; it adds depth to characters and their relationships, and that’s something I’ll actually look forward to reading.
