Maybe I'm a prude. I find sex scenes gratuitous. Is it not possible to have romance without the graphic slap of flesh on flesh? And they never include clean up, lol.
Maybe Young Adult romance is a reaction to all the sex that is fired at us. It's like the chaos volume has been turned up until we are deafened, and only the most garish can be heard.
