I also find that I'm not a "metaphor and slang" writer when it comes to sex; I write it like it is.
Fortunately, I can also go back and re-edit the material to make sure I don't go too far. It's tricky, because it's a very intense scene, not just for the obvious reasons, and I don't want to be overly or annoyingly graphic.
So: I rewrite the book, then I re-release it. At this point, I'm planning to add a simple "some scenes not suited for children" notice in the book's description. Is that enough?
I also need a way to get across that there is sex, but not hardcore bondage, depicted in this story. This is mainly to avoid scaring away potential adults who are not comfortable with bondage, and will avoid the book at the first suggestion of whips, chains and dungeons (of which there are none).
