Sex scenes in the book

Or why there aren't any

There are no explicit sex scenes in The Camel Trail. Why not? Elizabeth Benedict, in her book The Joy of Writing Sex says: "The most important things in our intimate lives can't be discussed with strangers, except in books." So why haven't I included powerful erotic scenes? The first reason is maternal modesty. I have four sons and twelve grandchildren - I need say no more. Then, I have read enough bad sex scenes to know that it is hard to create good ones. Finally, I was encouraged by writers like Flaubert. His attention to all the senses is so exact and exquisite, he can write a powerful erotic scene with no physical contact. It helps that he is a genius.

Yes I agree it wont be nice if one day someone that you dont want to know your secrets read them in a book that you wrote. And besides it is a topic that you dont talk with random people.
