There's no hard and fast rule; it all depends on the platform's policies and the core message you want to convey through...

    @JayMark Well, we should learn to embrace the positive side to formulate better stories. Imagine fiction that touches readers' emotions, becomes popular, and has a depth of content worth reading and leaves a lasting impression as a masterpiece. Wouldn't that be great fiction? I know it's not...

    Well, I'm not a fan of the fiction you mentioned... but to be fair, we're only discussing it from the perspective of reader psychology. And yes, it does fulfill the reader's most primitive emotional needs, a topic often considered taboo in society: sexuality.
