You could say that about anything superfluous or extraneous, couldn't you? What about a superfluous conversation, or an extraneous character? What about excessive plot twists, or illogical endings? The complaints made about sex could be applied to any element of fiction. It does not matter what an author writes about, only how and why he writes about it.
