Since most of them are not ever going to poke their nose in here, especially the smartphone only readers, it is safe to come clean.
Obviously, since I started this topic, the answer for me is YES!
I have started trying to get a feel for what gets the reader's attention and votes. I wrote a story that described the first time in very veiled and poetic terms. It is sitting below 4. I followed that up by retelling the same story in graphic details and it was just over 4.5 the last time I looked.
So I wrote one that was as close to a porn movie as I could. It had just enough plot to hang together and to mix the couples up a little. Currently at 4.65 with at least twice as many readers.
So I think I know what that means. If I want some ego stroking, I need to write as dirty as I can. If I want some satisfaction in telling a tale, don't go looking for numbers.
If you have played with the readers, spill your sordid tales. Inquiring minds want to know.
