Favourite sex scenes from books.

Diana Gabaldon and her outlander series has excellent erotic writing.. Her sex scenes between Jamie and Claire (the main characters) are superb.. Lots of variety, including gay and occasionally non-consent. She can write a sex scene (or its precursor) so well, with none of the usual wordings you might find in erotica. Big fan, so I'm biased, but lovely intense writing. They are filming a tv series for Starz channel too!

OMG I was going to say when Jamie and Claire have their first sex scene, and he reveals he's the virgin. I loved that scene! :)
 
last tango in paris

book and movie when the overwieght old man played by marlon brando fucks the young girl played by maria Snyder in the ass after lube her up with butter :eek:
 
i had one from a Harold Robbins book where a man is sucking the cock of his male lover while his wife beats him and yells at him to suck harder ,it always gets me horny just thinking about it even.
 
Not really a sex scene but the chapter in the book " The Deep" by Peter Benchley where the drug dealers frisk Gail ( as played by Jacqueline Bisset in the film version) and hold back David
Was pretty steamy.

So there are a few threads about sex scenes in mainstream movies but what about in mainstream literature? I think I probably first came across sex scenes in schlocker espionage thrillers as a teenager. I can't remember any of the titles but the scenes I can.

I flicked through copies of The French lieutenants woman and Lady Chatterly's Lover just for the naughty bits. More recently Michael Houllbeq's Platform and Atomised have scenes that never fail to get me aroused. In Platform the main couple go on holiday and on getting to their room she takes off her clothes, leaving on her panties, and straddles his face. A maid discovers them and they invite her to join them. Delicious. Anybody else enjoy those or got any favourite books/scenes they care to share?
 
I know that I probably posted this before but... the scene from Nicholas Baker's The Fermata with the older woman seducing a young couple outside in her garden. Still turns me on, sometimes I re-read that book in public on my Nook. No one can see what I'm reading...!

The girl with the dragon tattoo is basically all sex. Not sure if it's good though.

And I second atlas shrugged.
