Anyone good at writing a love (sex) scene, that could help me or give pointers. Because I can't for the life of me figure it out.

@FantaPop

Depends on if you want to do a YA-style scene, where it fades to black or skips to the next scene during the act, a frank, "this is to move to plot along" sort of scene, or go full harlequin romance during it. Each style serves a different purpose and has their own challenges.

@FantaPop

Okay, so! For a YA-style fade-to-black, what you really want to focus on is how the characters feel, instead of the physical aspects. Are they nervous? Happy and excited? Sort of cautious? Does one of the characters enjoy just touching the other, even innocently? You can always imply more sexual things are happening in the background, but it's probably more appropriate to just fade the scene out with a few well-placed transitional sentences and continue the next scene with the implication that the characters slept together. How do they feel afterwards - did they like it? Did they wish it was over quicker than it lasted? Was one of them not too keen on it? Hope some of this rambling makes sense ^^;
