This matches some of the Friday the 13th movies perfectly. Granted you know what kind of movie you are going to see and you expect this behavior from Jason (the killer).
Anyways sex is good for the book if it pushes the plot in some way and/or gives insight into a character's mind/motive. If you have written a book about a guy that kicks ass on human traffickers and he gets emotionally ensnared by a prostitute... you expect some sex to take place (like my book at
http://www.dodgewinston.com).
But if you are reading a book about cowboys driving cattle I wouldn't expect a sex scene... unless they swing by a bordello for an evening of fun.
My point is that it has its place if done right and their is a smooth transition but it must help the story, not detract from it.
