Yes, I'm rather embarassed by the fact that an erotic title I released under a pen name, outsells my non-erotic titles by about 15 to 1.
As far as sex in my non-erotic works, sex plays an important role in my work, but I almost never write sex scenes, largely because I don't trust my ability to write them well. But more importantly, I write comedies, and I find writing around sex scenes (finding ways to tell you what happened without actually saying what happened) to be both funnier and more fun to write.
