If you want to sell erotic books, that's one thing, but too many books have gratuitous sex that don't need to be there for the story or for the character development. Nope. Not gratuitous. One thing leads to another, etc... I've seen storylines that chop the continuity at such scenes, and sometimes it's very jarring. Takes you right out of the reading experience like a pothole on the freeway. Better to treat the sex lightly and scoot through it than to truncate developments abruptly.
