No actually, lack of experience is, in fact an indicator that a person has no skill in that specific action or practice. This is not a detractor, it's a descriptor. It a statement of fact that cannot be danced around with something as presumptuous as "OH WELL I'VE NEVER HAD SEX BUT I CAN TOTALLY WRITE IT."
No. You can't. Because there are little nuances, visual, audible, touching cues you do not know how to look for or even if you SHOULD look for them. Instead of attempting to use that tired-ass excuse of "oh killing isn't something we do but we write that" (btw, killing ain't all that easy either), take it as cooking. If you've never set foot in a kitchen your entire life? Yes, I DO expect you to fuck up rice. Yes, I DO expect you to fuck up pancakes. Yes, I DO expect you not to even be able to make tea. Because that's normal for a person that has zero experience in cooking. And diving nose-first in the nearest cookbook from Wolfgang Puck, Emiril Lagassi, the Iron Chefs, or whoever the hell ELSE you might favor will not suddenly make you competent overnight.
Practice is makes you competent in a skill. Practice cracking eggs, measuring water for rice, mixing batter and understanding when to stop and let the lumps stay, how to marinate, etc etc. Practice in sex leads to, at least for one person, some skill in sex (mileage may vary because some people just don't learn in this world). Constant research in sex means you have a plethora of references you can call to the fore of your mind, but it does not equal practical experience.
Will it help you write a sex scene? Maybe. Will it help you bullshit your way through writing sex? Probably. Should you or anyone else be praised for voluntary or otherwise sexual ignorance? Hell no.
And, really, should this really be an issue taken so damned seriously when the vast majority of people in dwrp land just want to have fun writing about dicks and sweat and satisfied pussies and queefing and toys and before-work/class/teaching quickies and harlequinn and hentai sex?
oh please.

I surely hope not.
