I've wondered about both Pierce's and Lackey's books when it comes to the sheer amount of time spent on sexual content... Are other people really *that* obsessed with sex, and I'm more of a fluke than I realized?
Not to say that I don't enjoy sex, that is. It just has never been *that* much a part of my life, so I often have had the odd sense that the characters were all being slipped massive doses of pheromones or something.
I agree that relationships in the HP books seemed really contrived/one-dimensional and could have used gay characters when they were supposed to reach that point. As much as people always want to strangle me for this opinion, though, I don't think that JKR is actually capable of creating that much character depth.
