Heh heh. Hard.
Because, let’s face it, no matter what camp you sit in, sexy stuff is awkward, weird, sticky, hilarious and kinda gross when you really think about it objectively. Working out how to make who puts what where, how when and why actually sound, not just sexy, but serious is “hard.” Especially when you often don’t have a lot of dialogue like in a regular scene.

Heh. I’m so glad someone went for the joke. 

No but seriously, it’s a pain! I remember one author saying that writing sex scenes are like writing fights scenes and honestly they’re both difficult for many of the same reasons. You can’t just be all “X puts Y there and then Z does A” on and on without making it boring as shit but you also gotta let everyone know *where* the characters are in position to one another. And once you add more than two people it really becomes a mess. It’s this balance of movement, feeling, sound, thoughts, and tension that all need to hit just right or else it doesn’t work.

Yeah. It’s hard.
