Kissing scenes are maddeningly hard to write (how many ways are there to say "then A stuck his tongue in B's mouth" without sounding cliched or stupid?). I don't know how people who regularly write pwps do it without repeating themselves all over the place.

There are times though where I just throw my hands up and write 'they kissed passionately/angrily/etc' when I need two characters to kiss again and I'm out of ways to make the kiss interesting. I tend though to try and use things like 'sucked on his/her tongue', 'bit their bottom lip', 'brushed his/her lips against person b's'. If its angry sex I try to mention teeth either scrapping lips or knocking into each other.

Kissing scenes are one of those YMMV things. I don't know if it's just that people that really like kissing love kissing scenes, or if it has nothing to do with it.

To characters on tv or in the movies not kissing at times can be sexier. Owen and Gwen's not kiss in Countryside? Guh.

Other than that, I have an unhealthy collection of bodice ripping, erotica books that entertain me and give me ideas on how to order my sentences.

Seriously. Now I've got like, 2 books I think would be awesome to write. A Porn Thes. and "So Your Girlfriend's a Slasher" and then sell it at anime cons. *dork* ignore me, I'm rambling. Enjoy the links!

But yeah, kissing scenes are definitely the hardest type of scene to write.

*nods* Give me action sequences any day. Though, if you repeat yourself in sex scenes, you do it well enough that I don't notice.

I'll be like, swimming out of the deep end and back into the shallow end of snark and the odd level look.

Never underestimate the power of bad romance novels to seep into your brain and stay there forever - at least, I put some of the purple prose in sex scene sdown to the fact that a lot of people's first exposure to textual sex scenes comes from romance novels (if it doesn't come from fandom).
