I voted choice two. I have no inherent problem with sex scenes in a story, as long as there is a reason for them being there. They must help define the characters and advance the plot, or they risk being gratuitous and there solely to titillate.
If you're writing erotica, the point may
be the sex scenes. If you aren't you need to ask yourself what the point is, and why you're including it.
If in your authorial judgement there
is reason to include the sex, do so. If readers with prude filters complain, the appropriate response is "My stuff isn't for you. Don't read it."
