I had a similar controversy with my romantic suspense Lancelot's Lady. I had one line that was very suggestive, without being graphic, yet I was worried about younger readers reading it. Or my mom. Then I realized that I can't control if younger readers read my romance novel (I was reading them at about 14.) And my mom doesn't even like romance novels anymore.
If books in the same genre as yours have steamy scenes and you truly feel that's what happens to your characters, WRITE it. :-) Otherwise you'll regret your choice.

The fantasy!
