How Important Is Sex In Building A Character?

One of the things a writer must do to make his or her fiction believable is to make the characters of a story believable.  And just like real people, characters in a story should have several traits.

If a writer wants to emphasize the sexuality of his or her characters the characters still must be about more than just sex.  Only in standard pornography are characters only about sex.  Pornography has a long history and in the hands of a gifted writer pornographic fiction has been recognized as an art form.

The Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette does not publish pornography.  But it does publish fully realized sexual characters like the ones you will find in The Topless Dancer.
