I hate books with sex in them in general. I really really hate books where most or all women are objectified ceaselessly.
I love books warnings about that because it saves me time, money, and frustration.
If that’s the sort of book you like, more power to you.

Not if I can help it. At least not in the typical sense. I don’t mind a romance subplot or something if it’s not gratuitously sexual or over the top. But I don’t read books that are overtly romantic or sexual.
My favorite book ever does have a romance subplot and a total of one (not especially graphic) sex scene. But for most of the book the MCs partner is dead and she is trying to figure out what happened to him.
Bodice rippers and what not? Are not for me.
