Song of Solomon (aka Song of Songs) is an entire book devoted to the topic of a sexual relationship, and it gets 5 paragraphs, whereas the majority of the rest of the articles seem to be longer, yet based on single stories or even single verses from other books. Seems a little imbalanced. That said, I've always loved the prevalence of sex in the Bible and the frankness with which its approached. It shows that God created sex, just like the other parts of creation, for us to enjoy and glorify in. It seems odd that Christians of all people find the concept of sexuality so difficult to deal with and assimilate accordingly in their lifestyle, when you can barely get through a book, especially in the Old Testament, without running smack into some of the stories mentioned here. On the other hand, I guess it shows that the struggle with the issue is by no means a new one.

We tended to avoid Solomon's Song of Songs in Sunday school, and on the rare occasions it did come up, someone inevitably blurted out "Bow-chika-bow-ow!" or mentioned it being the porno section of the Bible. It wasn't until I had grown up a little bit that I realized that Song of Songs isn't pornogoraphy, it's love poetry, and the pornography section is in Ezekiel.
