Yep, these scenes are either meant to be titilating, and are hamstrung by the rating to be "softer" so what is the point, or meant to convey things about character relationships, where usually a fade to black gives you enough for plot.
Like I can understand the desire to see a character or actor/actress nude, but still. Therecs better ways to do "eyecandy", better ways to titilate, and better ways to convey plot and character development even working with the topic of intimacy.
There are incredibly few sex scenes in non-porn media that are actually done well enough to be worth it. Just go watch some porn and have a wank, or find a better writer to convey your plot and characters so you don't need the sex scene crutch.
