I really haven't come across that many examples of it to notice it. Usually in the books I read, especially the romances, I really wish they would use it more often. I've reached the point where I view authors who include chapter after chapter of descriptive sex as cheats who add it as a ploy to up the word count of a book and to try to increase sales, and I usually just skim through those pages because they normally add nothing to the storyline and merely serve as filler.

Though I do agree that ending a scene with "it was beyond words" is just poor writing and shows a lack of imagination and skill on the author's part, especially when I've read authors who've summed up an experience succinctly within a paragraph or even a sentence or two.
