Well, as a romance novel reader, I tend to not really care about the sex scenes.. or at least don't mind them. (though the use of anachronistic terms and flowery purple prose in place of basic genitalia terms is at times jarring and hilarious in historical romance novels)
As for anything good specifically.. um.. Marsha Canham's pretty good. I remember in her Across the Moonlit Sea the main characters were arguing -while- having sex.
Sex is dull and mechanical(or laugh-out-loud ridiculous) without context. LKH has ditched the context. If there's no plot and no point to the sex, it's just not interesting. She's forgotten how to persuade people to CARE about the characters.
