L.K. Scott If you can't handle that, then you probably shouldn't read horror. Horror is horror because it's graphic, eerie, and/or violent. Horror expresses topics that make you uncomfortable. If you're not uncomfortable, then it wouldn't be horror, would it? Horror is not happy lovers stroking each other and singing koombayah. It asks the hard questions everyone else is too afraid to confront. Stick to Twilight sweetie where the vampires glitter.
Kim Not all his books have graphic sex. I have read this book as well and did not care for it. To me this didn't feel like a "Stephen King" book, if that even makes sense.
Dave I agree that the scene you mentioned was very disturbing, and it's not entirely unique in Stephen King books. There is a rape scene in Under the Dome that felt (to me) to be somewhat gratuitous and entirely unnecessary. That being said, as others have mentioned, Stephen King is known best for writing horror, and horror is the genre that most challenges social taboos.

If you want to read more King books, but don't like reading about sexual violence, there are still plenty of really good ones to check out. The Shining and 'Salem's Lot immediately come to mind. You might be okay reading IT, though that book does contain many allusions to sexual violence, even if it isn't outright shown.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about a specific book. I've read most of King's work and would be happy to let you which books contain specific triggers and which do not.
Rick Slane I never noticed much graphic sex in any Stephen King novel, murder and perhaps rape are more common. I liked this novel because multiple ghosts were in action. I believe King himself expressed some regret for writing of that murder.
Anna I've never read Rose Red or Needful Things. Actually, I haven't read much of Stephen King at all. I read Carrie years ago and there was no graphic sex of any nature in that story. The story focuses on the mental and emotional abuse of a teenage girl, but nothing sexual that I can remember.
Dan Mac Don't let it put you off, I thought this book was one of King's worst,
Read It, The Stand , Misery , The Shining,Needful things, Salems Lot ... all of these are fantastic books.
Matthew Cross well I know that rose red isn't a book

Jingizu Not all Stephen King books have graphic sex, but he has used this trope before in some of his books. A pivotal graphically shown sex scene, not necessarily always rape or abuse, is often found in his novels.

But no, not all. Yet as said by other commentators, this is horror.
