What is "Fade To Black?"

I have heard it on many Roleplay Regulations but I do not understand what it means.

'Fade to Black' is a term that lends from movies, especially for scenes of a graphic nature, such as sex scenes. Since RPNation is a site catering to all ages, graphic depictions of sex, torture and so on are prohibited, thus participants in a scene that will result in activity that would rate a film as 13+ are strongly encouraged to 'fade to black' and move on to the aftermath.

Adding to Captain Hesperus's post, there are other names for it, including the much more popular "time-skip", which is pretty much self-explanatory.
