How to Not Get a Bad Sex in Fiction Award: Writing Smut That’s Actually Hot and Moves Plot

Is it hot in here or is this panel definitely NSFW? There are many infamous examples of bad (published!) smut, and yet we hardly celebrate the good smut or talk about how to write it.

Come for the plot, stay for the smut!
