Your comment about "where the scene ends" reminds me of some young writers I know who will say things like "my rape scene isn't a reinforcement of tropes because the rape victim gets to kill him at the end of the story". I have to restrain myself from saying "that IS a trope. Too."
I don't know. The distinction between "it's prurient" and "it's needed to effectively convey what happened to to tell this story" is a weird and subtle thing,
