Both, though I keep the sex to a minimum in my own stories because it's so hard to describe without sounding like an idiot. Of course, that could just be me...
Yep, I rely on plenty of euphemisms to avoid sounding like a bad Harlequin romance novel, although they're probably equally cheesy now that I come to think of it. If I write something about a rocket blasting off you can use your imagination to fill in the image, nothing more explicit required.
