Of course the sex can be in varying degrees. some just implied. all the way to explicit.

Yes, I think it's unrealistic that you're going to fall madly in love and get a happily ever after without throwing sex in there somewhere.  Whether explicit or implied.  I've read books with all levels of sex in them and enjoyed them all.

I prefer books that don't give a detailed description.

You bet I do, Charles! Everything from the chaste kisses to pulse-pounding erotica. It's all fun.

I am with Regina.  Romance without sex is like hot dogs without relish and mustard.

*fist bump*, Pamela.

Absolutely! I adore a steamy romance. Sometimes it’s the best part of the book. 

Of course sex and romance go together.  I do demand a story along with the romance and sex and poorly written story or sex deletes the book from further reading. 

No, not really.  I dont often read romance though I am investd in the Stephanie Plum series which is a comic crime mystery series with a love(sex) triangle. And her grandma is pretty wild too!

Like reading romances with sex or details mildly put....depends on what era the story is based in.Victorian stories with carriages an dance balls etc. I like without all the nitty gritty details but keeping it teasing an romantic.Actually for me it's whatever type story I'm in the mood for at the time.
