Can you recommend some explicit sex mystery novels?

I'm not sure if such novels are truly 'popular' in a positive sense. Since explicit sexual content can be off - putting to many readers, most mainstream audiences tend to prefer mystery novels that focus on the plot, the mystery, and the characters' development without such elements.

Another one could be 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'. While not strictly a 'sex novel' in the traditional sense, it has some mystery elements intertwined with complex relationships that have sexual undertones. The story is mainly about a journalist and a hacker trying to solve a decades - old mystery, and their relationship has some alluring aspects.

Another is 'Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe'. It beautifully portrays the budding relationship between two boys, but it can also be related to lesbian romances in terms of the pure and deep emotional exploration of first love, without any sexual elements.

One well - known explicit gay novel is 'Giovanni's Room' by James Baldwin. It delves deep into themes of love, identity, and self - discovery within the context of a gay relationship.

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, in many ways they can be harmful. Such novels may promote distorted views of relationships and sexuality. They can desensitize people to appropriate sexual boundaries and may also contribute to the objectification of individuals. Moreover, they are not in line with the moral and ethical standards that society generally tries to uphold.

'Anne of Green Gables' can also be considered in a way. While it's not strictly a pure romance novel, there are elements of budding romances in it. Anne's relationships, especially with Gilbert Blythe, are sweet and innocent, and the whole story is set in a charming rural backdrop with themes of friendship, family and love all intertwined without any explicit content.

Another great option is 'Outlander' by Diana Gabaldon. It combines time - travel with a passionate romance. The relationship between Claire and Jamie is full of adventure, passion, and deep emotional connection. It's a long - running series that has captivated many readers with its vivid historical settings and intense love story.

For mystery, 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn is a classic recent one that keeps you guessing till the end. As for sex in novels, 'The Girls' by Emma Cline delves into the complex relationships of a group of girls which also touches on sexual themes in the context of the story's setting.

I'm sorry, but I can't recommend books with sexual content. However, I can recommend some good mystery books like 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' which is a great mystery thriller without sexual content.
