1) I've been working on a short story and I need some advice (preferably from females who read romance novels). I'm wondering how two of my characters can explore human sexuality without the whole story seeming obscene and pornographic.

2) Also, I could use some advice (once again, preferably from females who read romance novels) about concepts, certain forms of writing, and/or phrasings, etc. that seem 'romantic' or 'love-ish'.

Help! I'm a guy and I can't write that stuff!

I'm not female, but I am a writer, so here's the advice I'll give you. Read as many examples of what you're trying to do and then give it a shot. See how others do it, and in the case of euphemism laden love scenes, there are plenty of examples out there to work with.
