The Relationship Between Sex and Desire in Romance Novels

There are some sexy romance novels and I have assigned you one that is sexy but it is only sexy in the context of the greater story. If you were to just pull these sex scenes out they would not have the same weight so there's a difference between like an erotic novel and a romance novel yes. Sex is ultimately a way of communication and sort of the way that you have sex says something about emotionally where you are and how you're able to explore or feel intimacy with somebody no what's the feeling inside the romance novel community around getting off?
