I can see having this reaction to a writer who's so vocally, obnoxiously disgusted by sex that it's hard to imagine that wouldn't come across in their writing, but I've never actually seen someone like that write explicit sex scenes. They tend to write Sex Brood and weird stuff like that. I've actually seen more bad smut from sexual people in long marriages than anyone else, lol. But honestly, a person's orientation and experience doesn't have much to do with their ability to write about sex. You have to be able to step outside your own point of view to write about anything but yourself anyway. And your inhibition levels and basic attitudes toward writing about the topic make a big difference. People make a huge deal about it while blithely writing about things like torture and murder, it's hilarious. A good asexual author who approaches writing sex like writing any other kind of scene is probably going to do better than a highly sexual one who buys into the idea that sex is too mysterious and indefinably whatever-the-fuck to ever express in words omg and completely abandons style and character to fall back on the same old cliches about the universe and the dance as old as time and all that. I open every book expecting that shit by now, but it still surprises me every time. It's like, really? You could do anything you wanted and still chose that? lol
