I agree with you. For the most part I think sex shouldn't be the ONLY point for the story (unless it's a PWP, although, even then, I need some sort of rationale for them to be together etc). Now, when you have a long fic, I'd say anything longer than 15 to 20K, I think the reader expects some sort of 'reward' for slogging through all those words, so when I'm writing those I'll try very hard to include some sort of sexy times. Forcing sex into the fic is not good either, though, and is always obvious, so it is a tricky balance. So, now that I was terribly vague.... :) I hope that helps!
