I mean critics might not have liked them, and online snarkers might not have liked them, but I bet regular guys liked them. Nobody with any sense pays any attention to critics and online snarkers when it comes to nudity and sex, because if you did, you would inevitably come to the conclusion that no one likes nudity and sex. Case in point: 50 Shades of Gray. There have been MANY reviews pointing out how much kinky sex there is in the books, but practically NO critics have admitted to personally liking them, and in fact have reviled the writing. Yet, somehow, they are popular. Strange, that. ---
