I for one am glad that Sanderson's existence means there is at least one prominent fantasist who is probably not some kinda weird sex freak. Kruller posted:The only sex scene in a fantasy book I've read that didn't gross me out in some way was in one of the Wheel of Time books, and the point of view wasn't even from the people doing it. It was played for comedic effect and was very brief. Contrast that with ASoIaF stuff, which is as graphic as the violence, and sometimes drawn out. Those scenes make me uncomfortable not because of the content, but because of the author. I can't help but imagine GRRM sitting there writing those scenes with a hardon, just because he LOOKS like a creep. It's why I stopped reading that series, in fact, and I understand that's my problem, not his.  ban Gurrm from women PupsOfWar fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Aug 13, 2014 |

Reveilled posted:Yeah, I have the same reaction for most sex scenes in fantasy, all I can see in my head is a far naked guy at a computer, drooling as they type while they speak the words aloud in the stereotypical nasal nerd voice. to be fair, that mental image gets slightly less horrifying when you're talking about a bangable dude like joe abercrombie I always thought Jaqueline Carey was ~alright~ at sex scenes (even some moderately kinky stuff), but that kinda backfires in her case, as her books get repped and marketed as Erotica when they're mostly just pretty normal fantasy adventure.
