I get it so much.

I usually plan the plot ahead and I wasn't planing to include smut at all.

It was supposed to be a fade in black, let's move on with the story, kind of scene, but then it became obvious that the smut has to be explicit or the emotional side of the story will be missing many pieces (as well as one plot related detail) that can only be shown in the sex scene and now I'm writing it.

But I keep wondering what will my readers think. Specially the ones that have told me repeatedly that they love that I focus on aspects other than sex.

Could you maybe put an author's note saying, "this isn't what I usually write, but it felt correct for the story?"

I prefer avoiding to justify myself, so I'm just planning on pointing the change in rating and hope my readers notice the plot related hints and get why that scene exists.

If anyone says something I'll tell them that yes, it's not what I usually write and I don't think I'll write more scenes like that in that story, but it was necessary for the plot.

I'd say make the emotions of the scene the important factor. I feel if the emotions are written well, a writer can skimp a bit on description of the physical actions.

Yeah, I feel you on it. I only hope it doesn't spoil your readers, and from now on they want sex in everything... I think though, that there's less of a danger of it "diluting" the story, since as you say, you don't normally write out the sex, but in this case you felt it was truly necessary. Hopefully the readers will get the same feeling, and it won't bother them :)

For me, one of my betas actually ended up writing the scene. I knew what needed to happen emotionally, but I don't have any experience in BDSM, and she does, so it worked out well.
