The thing about the Dresden Files is that - not counting that one scene in... I can't remember which book - it's not that in-your-face about it, is the best way I can put it. It's not fade-to-black but neither is it described down to individual body parts. There was one book I read that... *shudders*... involved nipple suckling and that was it, I was done. And one of my issues with the Felix Castor novels was that I felt the author was a little too blunt with the sexual aspect of the book (he did love using the word "erection.") It wasn't graphic, but it still felt heavy-handed to me. But Dresden files isn't like that. It's there, but it isn't so there that you have to think about it. It's more... you can think about it if you want to but it's easy enough not to. Does that make sense? I don't know how else to describe it.
Your description of Whitefire Crossing definitely caught my interest.
