Smut is seriously HARD. I almost joined Come if Convenient (for the name alone, really) but didn't trust my ability to produce anything in that area on demand that would be worth reading.
But trying to balance things making sense with things being erotic... trying to figure out when to be detailed and when to let the reader fill in the blanks... how to make something that is, in broad strokes, pretty similar to all sorts of other things already written in a way that makes it seem new and interesting... I tip my hat to good porn writers, because that shit is difficult.

Good luck finishing the challenge!
