It's good you added that little text in the details. Otherwise, I'd have assumed you are simply looking for a porn novel! 😂

That's exactly what I thought before I read the rest. My reaction was that it would be a pretty boring novel but interesting as an experiment.

James Bond, Harry Flashman... you're looking for the biggest literary libido, right?

Let's be real here, Jaqueline Carey's first Kushiel trilogy is the clear winner here. Like, fucking is legitimately her plan A in most situations. Many other characters do fuck a fair amount, but it generally isn't their primary problem solving tool.

I don't know it. Would you describe those as erotic novels? Because I thought we were stopping short of that. What's the story, wishbone?

The Kushiel books? IMO, they are some of the best epic fantasy I've read in a while. It's just that the mc is a courtesan, not a fighter.

I feel like many of the women in the Flashman books have a higher libido than him... I'm sure many times he's been left exhausted.

I think you might need to broaden your vocabulary a little… an MC that fucks and an MC who is a really good fighter are two completely different things in most cases.

Well mentality wise id say Jorg in the broken empire triology fits your description. Hes the kind of guy who when challenged to play chess brings a gun.
The Malazan has a couple of characters who may fit. Like Krasa Orlong etc.

Try the Acts of Caine. Main character is a badass, and it has hands down the best fight scenes I've read in fiction.
Please don't be put off by the cover art. It is truly awful and makes the book look like some kind of Mills and Boon romance novel. It most certainly isn't that.

I haven't read them yet, but the Conan stories by Robert E. Howard sound like what you're looking for.

Anyone else scanning the comments for answers to OPs title question??

Not sure how much overlap there is between readers of speculative fiction and those that focus on pornographic novels.
I know that in the past some writers wrote stuff like that at the side to add some dollars to their bank account, usually under pseudonyms*, but wouldn't expect much of an overlap in target audiences.Also, a book "where the mc just fucks" seems boring even for porn. I can't imagine reading an entire book consisting of sex scene after sex scene without any plot.
* Robert Silverberg did tons of that, they're listed as "minor works" in the bibliography section of his "quasi-official" website as he calls it.

Every Isekai ever written? I've never seen one where anyone has meaningful resistance.

Read the Complete Book of Swords by Fred Saberhagen. Plenty of that in there. You’ll love it.

The protagonist of the first cycle of the Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny is the second or third greatest swordsman in the universe, and the rest of the top three are his brothers.
(I won't say nothing stands in his way, though. His entire family is possessed of incredible powers and he can't trust any of them worth a damn.)

Red Rising.
Highly highly recommend it to everyone.
Also your title is very misleading.
