I guess you don't like a Song of Ice and Fire much? One great scene connecting Daenerys and Carl Drogo was described through sex. It can color a relationship in a unique way. Not that I enjoy or care if there is sex (I am neutral on the matter), just saying, why throw out a tool?
Because it's not a tool that fits the job you're trying to accomplish? Like a dentist using a power drill or an archeologist using dynamite. And yes, I hate A Song of Ice and Fire.
No sexually explicit scenes fore me either. I don't like reading it or writing it. That doesn't mean no sex. It means talking about (briefly, I don't like whole scenes devoted to sex in any terms) it in terms that are not anywhere near explicit or the good old fade to black. Sex scenes are just not at all the type of experience I'm looking for in my reading material or in the stories I write.
