Sex sequences are not necessarily an important selling factor, though at times they are. It depends upon the book, the characters, the inter-play of relationships which adds to the dimension of sex or loving making. At times, having sex sequences add to the depth of the relationship and brings out the emotional or physical passion that characters exhibit, which in a way could help sell.
