Haha no.

I'm reading a very enjoyable series right now. Each book is great, except for the industry-mandated sex scenes. So I skim those bits.

You should consider more than the all or nothing use case.

first part of my reply was in response to the first bit of the post (talking about skipping whole chapters). the second bit was giving my personal tendencies of skipping. I am a rampant DNFer (I have a huge tbr and not enough time to read everything) so I find myself only fully reading books where I trust the author to make any scene worth it even if they prove me wrong. I have considered many things, but I only find myself skipping or skimming when I already know I won't miss anything
