you know, there are some Rated E fics, even pwps, that i can still thoroughly enjoy despite being really comprehensively sex-averse. sometimes i like reading the set-up then the last few paragraphs where they cuddle and think about how much they luuuurve each other, or for longer fics the interactions and feelings in-between my furious scrolling past are more than enough story for me. but then there's fics that, i don't even know how to describe it. it's like their libido never turns off? i'm not sure how to differentiate that from fics where they're boffing like bunnies in every other scene or constantly thinking of each other's assets lol, but it's like sex is not just in the back of their minds but fully in the room every moment even when they're not having sex? like i said i'm describing it poorly but it makes me deeply uncomfortable.

I hear you. I tend to just start looking at word count when there is a higher rating, because if it's a long fic, the chance of sex being the majority of the focus is slightly slimmer. Slightly. I get soooo tired of the constant sex. #asexuallyfe

ETA: Er, obviously those fics are not written for me, so I'm not, like, not wanting them to exist. They have an audience! But. Not for me. And I definitely wish there was a way to differentiate so that it's more clear that it isn't for me. Didn't want to come across as hateful.
