I'm rereading Lady Chatterley's Lover and there are some sex passages that are super vague but seem to potentially not be referring to plain PIV sex. Curious if anyone has thoughts as to what they're actually doing (my first thought was anal but maybe my mind is in the gutter 🫣)
"Burning out the shames, the deepest, oldest shames, in the most secret places. It cost her an effort to let him have his way and his will of her. She had to be a passive, consenting thing, like a slave, a physical slave. Yet the passion licked round her, consuming, and when the sensual flame of it pressed through her bowels and breast, she really thought she was dying: yet a poignant marvelous death."
"In the short summer night she learned so much she would have thought a woman would have died of shame. Instead of which, the shame died. Shame, which is fear: the deep organic shame, the old, old physical fear, which crouches in the bodily roots of us, and can only be chased away by the sensual fire, at last, it was roused up and routed by the phallic hunt of the man, and she came to the very heart of the jungle of herself. She felt, now, she had come to the real bedrock of her nature, and was essentially shameless"

Maybe you should try something more literal, like Harlequin books?
