I think because LKH blogs so much about her personal life we feel like voyeurs. I don't feel the same way when I read a sex scene by (say for example) JR Ward. But then again she doesn't blog about her life for everyone to read.
Here's a weird thing. I wrote a story that was published in an anthology. It was an erotic horror anthology and definitely NOT for children. The opening scene of my story was a bondage scene that resulting in the murder of the submissive. I meant it to be borderline porn and wrote it accordingly, because I wanted the shock value. I must have had 15 people I know reasonably well ask me about my (non existent) sex life after the story came out. So I guess some people really don't separate between the author's imagination and reality.
(For the record-I've never been killed during a bondage scene gone bad.)
