I don't think it's fair to assume someone is a virgin or not based on the sex scenes they write. Disregarding the fact that some married/experienced authors (some of which have been published professionally) have written some truly terrible sex scenes in the past, writing a sex scene or smut in general is not easy for everyone and is actually something a writer has to work on.

I know the first sex scene I ever wrote makes me cringe whenever I think about it. Not because it was inaccurate but because it was of the 'insert tab a into slot b' variety. I didn't know how else to write it at the time and experience (or lack thereof) had nothing to do with it. Plus, honestly, writing a sex scene is formulaic as fuck, it's writing passion or sexual tension that's hard and not everyone can get a handle on it*.

That having been said, even if the person in question has it stamped all over their fic that every sex scene is based off of something they did, that doesn't mean they're a virgin. That just means they've been having some really shitty sex.


*I have a friend who has written one or two published stories that included sex scenes and she actually outsourced them to another writer because, as good a storyteller she is, she couldn't write a passionate sex scene to save her life.
