Skip to page 254 for the plot
I just like dragons 🥲 I’m not knocking the genre or the people that read these books. I read this books. But I kinda wish I could skip half of the sexy, cringey sections and just move on sometimes. I’m willing to lose a little character development.
It’s a little harder to skip that kind of stuff on audiobook which I primarily listen to but sometimes it’s even hard to find the right paragraph on paper. Libby, consider it lol

It’s ironic that so many people in this thread that are saying a change like this would be good, are at the same time justifying their dislike of sex scenes by saying they are often unimportant to the plot or character development. Making sex scenes (or any scene in the book) a by default optional side story with special instructions in the book to skip would guarantee that they contain nothing of real import to the story.
If you don’t like sex scenes that’s fine, there’s lots of content I don’t enjoy in books, sometimes I push through and sometimes I just choose to read other stuff. Asking for sex specifically to be relegated, contained within an easily skippable module (one that brings any reader out of the story with a meta acknowledgement of what is about to happen and how to avoid it) inside every book is silly. It would inevitably warp the medium. You already have the choice, when you aren’t liking what’s in a book, put it down.
