**** Thank you all for your comments. It has been very useful to see all your opinions on the subject.****
When I first started writing it was on Fictiomania. Stories there often, but not always involve sex.
Since posting on here I have noticed my more sexual stories get a lot more reads, but a lot less kudos.
The current story I'm writing has got sexual scenes. I have held back on being descriptive though.
Refering to his male member as his hardness etc, rather than to other more sexual words.
Is it best to keep doing this? Keeping it obvious what is happening without being graphic. Or do people want graphic descriptions.
I understand that not all stories have to feature sex, but it is often a consideration in many stories.
I was going to put two versions of the same act to compare, but I know many would not like it.

Wow!
So many comments. I wrestle with if XX attracts more readers than PG and have posted 2 versions of the same store as a test. I'm still confused as which garners the most hits. I write what flows and then often tame a story down before posting. Proper labeling is a good thing.
No one forces anyone to read anything. Keep in mind that readers here and at other sites do not visit these sites for nursery rhymes or bible stories. There's a reason readers flock to sites like ours and any mock concerns of being offended seems lame. Life and web sites are like a buffet; if you don't like the squid move on to the salad bar. - Dee
I could have used a sushi bar analogy but I chose not to today; maybe I would have tomorrow.

I am amazed by the amount of replies to this subject. Nearly half are my own replying though. I read plenty of graphic stuff on here. One of the strongest reactions I got was a story that I never finished about a guy agreeing to have sex with his wife's new husband, so he could stay with her. I got told it was a rape story. I didn't agree, but toned it down and turned the relationship down for the next 2 chapters.

Speaking only for myself,
I would prefer that the graphic stories stay only on fictionmania, which leans heavily towards that kind of stuff, and have more tasteful stuff here. I know that won't happen, as there are plenty of people here who do like the graphic stuff. I don't read stories here to get a sexual thrill, I read to help me deal with my gender dysphoria. Sex does belong in many of the stories here, but we don't need a graphic description of it to know what is happening.
Where you say "I read to help
Where you say "I read to help me deal with my gender dysphoria." I get the impression of that here too. It's one of the reasons I write.
The most vocal are the site members, if you are not a member you can't comment anyway. You get more comments from a non sex story.
On Literotica anyone can comment. The site is full of trolls though. So many grammar nazi's. You missed the apostrophe out in it's, on the second line. I stopped reading then etc.

The Question Is Answered
By pure chance (?) there is a story titled "Mercedes" on the front page. It is definitely full of raw sex and currently has about 14,500 reads and 13 comments (although this may be because it was resurrected from the archives). So, if the question is whether there is an appetite for explicit sex then the answer must be a resounding YES!

A basic rule of writing
To me one of the things an author should do make sure every part of a story is relevant to the tale. If explicit sex moves the story forward it is needed. If. as it too often is, it is a section that could be omited while losing nothing of the plot, humor, atmosphere or theme etc. of the story then I believe it's nothing more than padding the word count. This leaves of course the special case where the theme of the story is explicit sex to which I can only say I stopped finding those stories shocking or interesting a long time ago.
Sex comes in many forms
I don’t think we can discuss ‘sex’ as being good or bad, because there’s many different things that a couple might consider to be deeply intimate, and other things that might be sexual but far less meaningful. Then you’ve got the lens through which the writer viewed them and the reader’s own perceptions... you aren’t going to please all the people all the time. To some people, crossdressing is a kink; to others it’s very much not sexual. Neither group gets to decide.
In my own writing, I’ve generally tended to include sex (because it’s something that adults typically choose to do, when the time is right) but I haven’t always been explicit within my writing. When I published the proto-verison of ‘My Constant Moon’ on Fictionmania years ago I commented: "Not enough sex in it for transgender fiction, I suppose."
User ‘Salrissa’ responded with something I’ve always kept in mind since:
“Transgender doesn't actually mean sex maniac ... there actually was a reasonable frequency of sex, it just wasn't spelled out with every squelch narrated.”
To this day, I put sex in stories... but you don’t get the squelches.

I agree.When Istarted to dress it was way too young to be sexual, about 5. It did get sexual in my teens. Now when I'm in my late 50's it isn't sexual. Just feels right and calm.
