How not to write sex scenes

At The New York Times, Sarah Lyall writes about an eternal problem of literature: " A writers tumescent member is a readers risible euphemism"
In a climactic sex scene in the novel Golden Hill, set in mid-18th-century Manhattan, Francis Spuffords narrator briefly steps outside the story to grumble to the reader. How hard it is to describe a desirable woman without running into geography! Or the barnyard. Or the resources of the fruit-bowl, he complains. I do not want to write this part of the story.

"Brobdingnagian."
