Being a prudish old maid, I am not a big fan of bad words or overdone sex scenes. However, sometimes they are integral to the plot or the character development, and as such I acknowledge them, tip my hat, and then let them pass by so I can enjoy the characters, plot, dialog, etc. What does bother me is when a writer seems to think that obscenity and gratuitous sex make up for poor plotting and lack of character development. They remind me of my 3-year old grand-nephew running around the house shouting, "Butt, butt, BUTT"--intended to shock, and in need of some immediate and stern correction. Luckily, I don't have that problem with you guys. What is needful is there, no more, no less, and the entire book or story is crafted well. Thank you.
