I don't think that virgins should be exempt from writing smut (because then where would that leave me as someone who writes a lot of smut, ahaha) but experience definitely helps? I dunno. If there's anything I've noticed it's the twelve year olds that are writing the stories where the girl is basically having five orgasms on her first time, not the older and presumably sexually experienced writers. I think it's a matter of just learning that "things don't work that way." When you're first learning about sex you kind of assume it doesn't hurt the first time, the girl comes every time just like the guy, and shit like that. I personally didn't know otherwise until I was at least fifteen because I just wasn't taught otherwise. Knowledge and research is super important when you're writing, but it's something that authors tend to overlook when writing a sex scene.
