Is there an erotic scene in a movie/book/... that you actually like?
I know not all aces are indifferent or repulsed by sex or even when it's shown in fiction, in which case this question isn't for them. Whenever it happens, I'm always immediately taken out of the story and prefer skipping the entire thing. However, there is one exception: The bathhouse scene in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (video game), which is one of my personal favorite love stories.
It's an incredibly psychedelic scene that works so well because nearly the entire game has been building up towards it. There are no explicit sequences of on-screen sex, but it is very suggestive about it and resembles the same kind of atmosphere. I think the reason it's so emotionally engaging is because I just buy the connection between the two characters, and I understand that they would want to be with each other so closely as the only two survivors in the nightmare that is this game's story. I highly recommend playing it yourself, it's one of the best games ever made.
