(QUESTION) Does adding illustrations to erotic literature take away from the story?

Hello all, I was wondering about something.

I am primarily an artist, though I do enjoying writing. I want to spice up an erotic story with some illustrations (which would include the characters appearance) though I have read a lot about illustrations taking away from the reading. In your opinion, would/do drawings take away from your experience in reading erotic stories, or would/do you enjoy them?

Thanks!
