Amen, hallelujah, preach it sister, and WORD.
Despite being the prudiest prude to ever prudent, there is something to be said about shall we say, intimate moments. As you mentioned, if it's done properly, a really good author can pull off almost anything. I've seen it done, and I am an EASILY squickable person, particularly concerning the above.
HOWEVER.
There is stuff on my harddrive, yea, even on my FF.net and FicWad accounts that I am simultaneously proud of and weirded out by. Because I can't quite believe I wrote that. Case in point would be "Shining Armor". ( /shameless plug )
