They could have showed what actually did happen, however uncomfortable it makes us feel.

Sexing up the scene (especially with the characters looking a bit older with this art style change) probably would have made it less effective in this regard.

Well if a viewer gets aroused by two kids having sex... then there is something wrong with
that viewer.

And there's nothing "lame" about not wanting to be watched while you're having sex.  |
IMHO there are two opposing views on this subject:
1) Deny your nature
2) Succumb to your nature
Or one can just escape from this black & white perspective and by understanding his natural needs he can prioritize their fulfillment to his own benefit... unfortunately this sounds easier than it really is IRL.
In this case, Saki and Satoru needed a way to get rid of their frustration (being imprisoned et al), naturally they would fuck each other, the anime showed that impulse, but refrained from displaying the intensity and emotional confusion it caused (unlike the novel and the manga), which is understandable since it is showed on TV which is anonymously accessible from many immature (if not mentally unbalanced) people

They don't have to be explicit and graphical, but rather clear on what is going on, and more importantly why and to what effect.
The wrong way to do it is this on the
decent side, and the Ran->Sem on the
profane side
