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.

by the third I was like, too through. "Ugh, I said this already. I can understand why people default to purple prose."

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).
