Does sex ever come up in your writing, and if it does, how often does it, and how is it used, and what story genres do you like to write? Most of my stories are hardboiled crime, noir, comedies of error, or some combination of those, and I find that for me, sexual topics get used in contexts of intimidation or tension or absurdity or sensationalization or bleakness, and I actually find myself using sexuality as a plot device relatively often, but never in contexts expressing desire or pining or erotics or making a situation feel warm, it's often about making a situation feel either menacing or ridiculous or depressing
