Well, I'm a bit of a prude when it comes to using, um, descriptive terms, though what I'm afraid of is less the unintended comedy effect than things sounding too clinical to be erotic. Probably because I haven't read all that many fics resembling gymnastics stunts - maybe I should remedy that. *g* In any case, for all of my bluster about the explicit, it will most probably be a semi-vagueish description of the lovers' reaction to the sex, rather than of the sex itself. Just so no one starts to get their hopes up. :)

"Diplomatic relations" - I remembered there being something explicit in it, but not exactly what. Looking it up, it turns out there are two mentions of oral sex! *g* But you're right, it didn't come across as erotic to me, even if the sex mention did make me blink a bit. (see, I'm not used to much :) )

Lupin, Black, Snape - ooh, nice. Answer will follow later this week! In case you're up for one: how about Neroon, Garak, and Saul Tigh? :)
