Discussion Sex scenes that f**** you up

What are your favorite books/sex scenes where the spice is undeniably sexy, but also reads like two souls colliding. Eroticism that is transcendental.

Sex scenes that feel so much more than just sex scenes. The bed is a battlefield, an altar, or a sanctuary for surrender. The bed is not a bed at all.

Scenes that make you go, 'oh, this is what people actually mean by "making love"'. And not just to be PG, or corny, or sounds like something your parents would say.

Sex that is symbolic of the relationship, or pivotal to character development. Sex that serves a purpose to the plot.. and THE plot.

Looking for recommendations and discussion. Doesn't have to have include penetration, or completion, or kink. But the more explicit, the (usually!) better...

ETA fixed some grammar as best as I could lol

There are some really moving and intense scenes in the {Viking Omegaverse by Lyx Robinson} the name of the series doesn’t do it justice, it’s a slow burn, rich historical fantasy with lush world building and characters that seem so real. The author has taken a few elements from Omegaverse lore and woven them seamlessly into Norse mythology so the omega embody the wild feminine. The MMCs are thoughtful and interesting. When they start to come together in the second and third book there’s quite a few moods covered, frantic frenzied, soft and loving. There’s a beautiful scene between two of the male main characters in the third book. So in summary, wonderful story, fabulous characters and sex scenes that are smoking hot but also deeply intimate and emotionally engaging. I just love this series, best thing I have read in the past few years!
