Tanith Lee perhaps, but Lustbader?  You must be kidding!  All I read was
"The Ninja", but that was packed to overflowing with not only gratuitous
but silly and insulting sex scenes.  Insulting because the only way to
reconcile them with Lustbader's obvious talent was to assume that they
were deliberately inserted to make a bestseller, and most of us don't
like being treated as manipulable sources of money rather than as readers.
Firing a mock-gun dildo water pistol up someone's cunt in a lesbian prostitution
scene essentially unrelated to the novel isn't gratuitous???
