I'm working on an R-rated comedy script. Some scenes contain explicit sexual activity. Now, since directing the camera is a no-no, I can't say, "We see the top of her head moving up and down on his lap; his lap/her face is blocked by the arm of the couch" - though that could/would be a good way to present it. So, if I just write it as if it were any other sort of action - "She gives him a BJ on the couch." - on the page it would seem to be NC-17. (There's also some in-medias-res butt-slapping.)
Should I simply assume that anyone who reads it will assume my intent is that it be shot/edited for an R-rating, not NC-17?
Any downside to just adding a brief, bracketed note? If a note, any suggestions?
