The truth? The honest-to-God truth?
I suck at it.
Okay, so yeah, I also feel guilty and especially knowing I have some non-HP friends now watching my list it makes me feel a little odd, but the truth is I suck at writing sex scenes. This is one of those times when the expository style I tend towards is BAD, and I really am better off leaving everything implied. Oh, sure, it works if I have something to say during a scene- if it's really part of the plot. But even that takes me a lot more effort than getting Remus and Regulus out of the Soviet Union or putting Sirius and James into a bar fight. I just don't enjoy writing this sort of scene for the most part, even though there are times when it is necessary because it's somehow pivotal to the plot (like now).
Sex scenes suck. :P
