Should I write the x-rated stuff, or tone it down?

I struggled with this quite honestly for a long time before I started writing my first novel. However, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to make it as believable as I could.

Good slow burn story. Kept you going. His writing is great. However, the motive was a little bit of a let down for me personally, which Kept me from giving it full stars. But still a great read.

Fun characters. Decent story that followed the last, but from a different pov. Got some new information. The best part were the young characters interactions.

Picked this one up in a whim. It was a good change of pace from my normal fiction reading. The story was good, even though a bit slow at times and too rushed at others, but enjoyable to say the least. 3.8 stars.

The most interesting thing about this book is how it relates to controlling society. The scary part is how it relates to our society. Good storyline, easy enough to follow. Keeps you thinking.
