Are there any good adult fiction books without any mention of sex in them?

Question

I'm looking for some interesting stuff to read but I really can't deal with anything that has to do with sex (please don't ask). Fiction, horror, mystery and suspence, whatever. No non-fiction.

It's ridiculous that I have to add this but don't answer if you're going to say something like "Life has sex so books should".

It doesn't help and it's annoying.

Further more. When I say "adult", I don't mean sexual. I mean reading on par with an adults level of understanding and reasoning. Not the children's/adolescent' section of the library.

Answer 1

have you tried Westerns? most of the Western writers write clean books, no sex. I can't recall a single Lous L'More (spelling?) that I"ve read that was offensive at all. I also like Max Brand, Zane Grey, etc. They are easy to read, None of the Max Brand books I've read had any sex in them.


I read several of books in the Dune Series - Brian Herbert (Science Fiction) and they were clean, no sex. not sure if that was what you had in mind. I don't read mysteries, girly stuff. if you want clean girly stuff ask a woman, I'm not going to read that stuff.

The more mainstream you go the filthier it is. promise - go for older authors - the older usually the cleaner.

I dont' like cussing and all that either.

most of the mainstream authors are trying to shove the immorality down your throat.

Ted Dekker is pretty good and he writes suspense, you may try him.

Most of the women like this lady - Jan Karon - definitely not my thing, but if you are a girl you may like her. She's a little too girly for me, not something I"d enjoy.

avoid Diana Mott Davidson, My wife told me that she really has started writing homosexual characters (sex included) into her stories (My wife read extensively, mostly mysteries, prior to her death in June 2006. She told me often about the books she was reading, so I know a little about most of them, but I haven't read most of the mainstream writers, I only read westerns and science fiction. and comedy. I'll add more if I think of any.

I'm sorry I couldn't help more. I tried.

Answer 7

I'd recommend any book by George Orwell, the famed author of 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' and 'Animal Farm'. There're of course some romantic scenes in his 'Burmese Days' but he wrote with sweet lines/paragraphs to read and enjoy. I don't understand why some modern novels are too explicit with some romantic scenes in which they torment me and other like-minded readers with sexual scenes instead, they are doing something like rubbish literature. However, writers have their own preference but sometime I wonder if they simply let them go for the sake of their own uneducated satisfaction to the public to read, it's a pity. As for me, I throw them away since I don't have time to waste for such books.

Answer 8

You should probably check-out the Christian Bookstores in your hometown. That is your best bet.

As a publisher, I can tell you that finding mainstream fiction without "sex" will be very, very, difficult. We have a few titles that have very little "sex" content. I suggest, "Doc Holliday's Woman" by Jane Candia Coleman, or "The Calling" or "ALL the little..." by Karl Arthur, or "Beyond Pelelui" by Peter Baird, "Valley of the Rainbows" (no sex, mild violence) by Tim Simmons, no sex per se, but lots of blood and guts in some of them.

Answer 9

You're going to be better off sticking to the classics, stuff written before 1950 when people didn't talk much about sex.

Some stuff you might like:
Lord of the Rings trilogy
mysteries by Agatha Christie
Gone with the Wind

Answer 10

Try something by Raymond Chandler. They're fast paced and for adults. Mystery oriented, and once in a while there are racist comments that turned me off, but they have a 1940s air about them and might fit your need.
