I'm old-fashioned, so sadly I have no advice on the technical side. When I want to read an explicit fic but I'm not in the mood for smut, I use the scrollbar. :P About as fancy as it gets for me is using AO3's "Mark For Later" feature so I can find it when I am in the mood for smut!
I will add, I've seen people put the sex scene in a chapter by itself, with "skip this chapter if you don't want sex scenes" in the heading notes. It's not a method I really care for (I'm a minimalist when it comes to notes, and especially notes that come across as 'guidance') but it would certainly be the easiest option out of all bar "do nothing." :D
