In general, I'm not a fan of sex in books, but that's mostly because 99% of the time I read it, it was a pointless sex scene either meant to attract a bunch of horny guys or to let the author play out his/her fantasy. My other biggest gripe is also the way that it's written. A bunch of crazy metaphors combined with the most cheesiest and unrealistic dialogue.
However, if it's there because it actually serves purpose to the plot or character development, then I have nothing against it. "Pillars of the Earth" had a couple of pretty graphic scenes, but it never made me question it once. It served a purpose in showing the horrible character of a person. The author wrote what was needed to show it, nothing more or less.
Keeping that in mind, if you believe it helps the character, then go ahead, especially if it's on the conservative side compared to the other things you read.
Like others said, how much worse can it get?
