Why don't you simply fade to black to avoid the gross part of sex?

Several great fanfic writers use that device with a lot of success. I just realized that one of my very favorite authors who I follow from fandom to fandom does this quite often, to the point where I recently read a comment complaining about the lack of explicit sex scenes and the consistent use of fade to black after lots of plot build-up.

After I recovered from my rotfl moment, I had to admit that was true and that her wonderful fics, full of passion, angst, fun and exciting plot were actually always fading to black when hardcore sex scenes would have been included by more explicit writers.

As a reader, it happens quite often that I skip the sex scenes -if written by someone who just is no good at it. Which happens a lot more often than you'd think, since there is a vast gap between people capable or interested in writing sex scenes and people capable of writing sexy, hot scenes.
