Well, it’s on a bit of a sliding scale. At one end you have excellent books like The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet, which has sexy orgy aliens but leaves the details entirely to your imagination … at the other end you have the Past Imperfect book series (available free from the author’s website) which is Star Trek Voyager fan fiction with 10-page-long sex scenes, and lots of them.
My absolute favourite, however, is the Alsea Chronicles, which is somewhere in the middle.
I don’t care for anything that doesn’t have a good story/characters/plot/worldbuilding, though.
Mild by slash-fic standards, medium spicy by normie standards - IIRC there’s one proper fully-described sex scene in each book. But the emphasis is on emotional connection … to the point where, for me, the most sexy part of the whole 10.5 books is a specific first kiss because of how it was set up.
I tell them about riding motorbikes and roller skating, either of which can lead to a conversation.
I don’t tell them about shooting or reading risqué lesbian genre fiction, because many / most people are weird about those things.
Tell me more about the risqué lesbian fiction 🤤

I’m the same i need good writing and plot. I’ll start with the Alsea chronicles thanks 😊
I’m quite jealous that you get to read them for the first time :-)
They look like perfect holiday reading mate I’ve been looking for books to take with me. How spicy are they?

Oh that I like, a strong emotional connection makes any spice 1000 hotter
If you like spooky, I just finished My Darling Dreadful thing and it was a great Sapphic slow burn!
Ooooh I’ll take a look thanks
