Don't get me wrong, I do not mind reading erotic scenes provided they fit into the story and are not cut and pasted in just to make some quota.
But I absolutely can not stand to see/read graphic violence, verbal/mental/physical abuse, and flat-out acts of torture being passed off as 'just another form of caring, love, and/or respect.'
