The biggest reason why I moved on from YA is because I find it really weird that a BIG part of the plot is literally just about sexual tension/actual smut. I don’t really appreciate that in any book, but I do find it troubling that YA is so centered on it when the target audience is literally 12-18 year olds.
Am I overreacting or being overly conservative? Am I missing something? I know this sounds super harsh but I’ve started dropping books, no matter what the genre, when there’s any smut at all. It just makes me so uncomfortable.

I mean, sex is a universal and healthy part of the human existence. Sex for pleasure specifically. I’m hesitant to say you’re “overreacting”, but I’d say it might be a good thing for you to examine why any sexuality in a narrative is so off-putting to you
