How should we approach novels with explicit sex passages?

One impact is that it can limit the readership. Some people may be offended or uncomfortable with such content, especially younger readers or those with more conservative values. Another impact is on the literary reputation. Novels with excessive explicit sex passages might be considered more for shock value rather than true literary merit.

Conservative audiences, on the other hand, are likely to be highly critical. They may see it as violating moral and religious norms. They might even call for boycotting novels that contain such passages. And then there are the lesbian community themselves. Some may feel it is a positive step in getting their experiences and relationships represented, while others may worry about it being too much of an objectifying portrayal.

Well, it can be seen as a way to break taboos. In many societies, lesbian relationships have been stigmatized for a long time. Novels with such passages can start conversations about acceptance and equality. But on the other hand, some people may find it inappropriate, especially if not handled with care in terms of the overall context and the target audience of the novel.

It should be treated with caution. On one hand, it might be seen as a way to depict the raw reality of human relationships in some cases. But on the other hand, it can also make the novel seem vulgar and inappropriate for a wide audience. Publishers and authors need to consider the overall message and the intended readership.

When it comes to art, it's a complex matter. If the 'gay sex stories' in the photos are presented in a way that is more about exploring human relationships, emotions, and identities in an artistic and non - pornographic way, it could be considered a form of expression. However, clear boundaries need to be set to distinguish it from pornographic content.

Yes, they should be. Given their potential to corrupt minds and violate moral standards, banning them can protect the public, especially the vulnerable ones like children and adolescents.

Well, first of all, the author needs to consider the target audience. If it's a novel aimed at a general or younger audience, then steamy sex passages should be minimal or non - existent. But if it's for an adult audience, they should still be written in a way that respects the readers. The language used should not be overly vulgar. Also, these passages should not overtake the whole narrative. They should be just one part of the complex tapestry of the story, like how in a great novel about a character's life, the sexual aspect is just one element among many like their career, family, and personal growth.

The novel 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald has some passages that touch on the allure and sexual undertones of the relationships. The way Gatsby looks at Daisy, the electricity in the air when they are together, shows a kind of sexual tension. It's more about the longing and the dream - like quality of their relationship that has sexual undertones.

First, be aware of your own tolerance for explicit content. If you're easily offended, it might not be for you. Second, try to understand the context of the story. Sometimes the explicit parts are there to serve a greater narrative purpose, like in 'Watchmen' where it shows the dark side of society.

We should view them as products of their time. While we condemn the racism in them, we can also use them to study how society has evolved. For example, 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' can show us the racist attitudes of the past and how far we've come in terms of race relations.
