I agree. I don't like it when characters' brains switch off during sensual scenes, or even during sex scenes themselves. Sometimes characters can be quite well written and developed, and then suddenly when they have sex they lose all their personality and become love machines.
I also don't like it when the writing is strong in a story, but weakens during the sex scenes. When that happens I wonder if the author rushed through the scenes because they find them boring, or if they revert to some sort of "blue print" with the idea that that's what readers want.
I'm tired of snarky heroines.
But my number one pet peeve?- "Turgid". Something about "turgid" makes me shutter and not in a good way.
