Well, I have to keep Good Catholic Girl syndrome (not just reticence, shame!) in check for the sake of the work. Be reticent in "real life," if it suits your temperament, but remember that it's the poet's job to illuminate the human predicament -- and what is the human predicament if not enfleshment? But no doubt I repeat myself from earlier threads.
And there's lot's of erotic and juicy metrical poetry. Aren't we all looking forward to Hot Sonnets?
