It could be back and forth, or it could be written collaboratively without the back and forth.

While "ERP" has a negative social stigma attached to it, I don't personally feel it's any of my business what people choose to do behind closed doors. Different people are going to have different preferences on how to handle it, and it should always be okay to speak up and say when you aren't comfortable with the direction an RP is going.
I'm not sure that answers your question much. ^^;; Basically, it works like any other thing works in RP, catered to the feelings of those you're RPing with.

Some people fade to black and may or may not discuss general ideas of what happened (was it good? any soul-shattering moments? confessions? freak outs? etc). Other people like to actually roleplay it out. Others avoid the issue all together.
It's all up to you and how comfortable you are with the person/your rp. Bottom line is: You don't have to do anything you're uncomfortable with.
Thanks for the answers they were helpful in clearing up my confusionÂ
