The people who leave negative reviews on e-books reporting sex scenes are my heroes. It’s easy enough to filter in smut when you’re reading fanfiction, but the e-book writers get coy about it in their descriptions. If not for sex-averse reviewers, we’d risk reading a “spicy book” that never passes first base, get clam-shelled over the lack of smut, and have to go start a fight with our husbands or something. ...not that I’m speaking from experience, or anything.
But yeah. Someone left a squicked one-star review on a book I was considering. Granted, the review was just the word “sex” written three times – like they’re starring in a demonic possession porno or something - and shoop, there the book went. Right into my cart. I hope it’s filthy. People like that are heroes.

And BronxWench, ditto. And I trust the negative reviews more than the five star ones, to a point. There’s a specific book I read a year or so ago that has high reviews but it’s written like the writer was a teenager using chat gpt while drunk; the sex scenes had such a disproportionate number of errors I halfway suspect it was written with one hand on the keyboard and the other in the writer’s pants. The negative reviews pointed out the myriad of flaws, but the positive reviews would have you thinking it was holy scripture or something. I felt dumber having read it, but fortunately, it was borrowed and not bought.

I suspect chat gpt could write better sex scenes than some of what I’ve read, and that may be one of the saddest things I’ve ever written...

I’m guessing chat gpt has anti-smut filters too (think of the children….)
