I imagine it's easy to think that if you've never actually listened to people in the fandom.
The overwhelmingly popular response is that it's the romance storyline that's the primary interest, not the sex (though obviously the sex scenes include emotional and relationship development; that's why they're there). Women enjoy reading about men being emotionally vulnerable, loving, and nurturing.
The ratings of the TV series bear this out also: by far the most rewatched episode is number 5, the one without sex scenes.
