In my opinion, sex scenes do not need to be included in fiction. We know what's going to happen - we don't need it spelt out to us. The worst culprit for this that I can think of is Elizabeth Chadwick. I remember reading a book of hers 'A Place Beyond Courage' a few years ago and there was pages and pages of sex! I felt so uncomfortable. I mean, it wasn't even a Mills & Boon!
Anne O'Brien also springs to mind, and Angus Donald. Please, historical fiction books don't need sex-trash!
