"Does it have smut? 🤭" but the smut is actually good

I'm tired of being labeled as a prude for pointing out that there's a difference between a plot where sex is relevant and sex that is replacing the entire plot. Also, a lot of the so called smut from many famous books is poorly written in my honest opinion. So here's a list of erotic novels which I consider that those who like to read erotica would enjoy, with the clarification that my assumption might not be true.

Tropic of Capricorn by Henry Miller

Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller

Sexus by Henry Miller

Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin

Henry and June by Anaïs Nin

Little Birds by Anaïs Nin

The Lover by Marquerite Duras (Note: The ecranisation was also really good)

The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio (Will never forget the "Putting the devil into Hell" joke)

120 Days of Sodom by Marquis de Sade (Though I would also like to emphasize the fact that this one is less erotic and more disturbing; Pasolini's movie was WAY better)
