a normal writing day I can pull off 1500 to 2000 words, but you put in a sex scene, 500 words is an excellent result...
To me, that's pretty much the definition of a slog - it takes four times as long as writing anything else :-(
Dialogue definitely translates the easiest, because it's already there - I just need to add in the surrounding actions bewteen the lines that describe the character movements and facial expressions. But even things like Will's weird, hallucinations/dreams seem to come to me in enough detail that I have no problem writing them out in creepy words with reasonable efficiency.
I do have a couple more 'fun' scenes to write before I really have to do the fight scene, thankfully. Part of the reason for forcing myself to get the sex scenes out of the way was so that I didn't have to do ALL of the difficult stuff back to back!
