To be fair, “good at writing romance” is a more common skill than “good at writing sex.”

[(Anonymous)]

Hm, I'm not sure I agree.

Very often (kinks aside), and mostly because the actual mechanics don't vary much most of the time, sex is generic Tab A into Slot B.

Good romance otoh, requires characterization and a sense of pacing, and to me that's FAR rarer.

I disagree with that, because a lot of what people consider "romance" in writing is sex. Romance novels are sex. Romantic erotica is sex. Romance writers mainly write sex, or stories that lead to sex, where people glance at each other, find each other hot, pine desperately, drama happens, sex. It's not personalities or connecting on any intellectual level that are the draw between those characters. They're usually not even distinct characters beyond tropes. You can find-replace names and nothing matters.

But they can write pretty good sex. Lots of people can.

. . . Maybe this is one of those things where my perspective was massively skewed by being in the My Little Pony fandom. They have so, so many writers who write good romance with no sex in it.

Considering it's a kid's show, it probably lends itself to that better.

Think about the mainstream when you consider "most people" though.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure I agree, either. They both have their respective challenges, IMO.
