That's a toughie. Are talking tasteful nudity, or a balls deep orgy?
My knee jerk reaction is that publishers look for what sells. If Superman kissing Lois sells, then maybe a step into R-rating is worth a try in an adult rated mini-series. If it's an ongoing romance with Scarlet Witch, Vision, and Wonder Man, that might be a step too far. If it's Pietro and Wanda, then I think there's no place for that in general issue comics.
I think it might be a Marvel title best suited for such - say another* Spider-Man series that focuses more on Peter and Mary Jane's relationship. That could step over the line somewhat without going TOO far - but again, a Mature rating could be in order.
Comic books are NOT, IMO, a place for sexual satisfaction. And if they are, then it should be unattached to DC or Marvel based super heroes. A R-rated comic could take place in Metropolis - but it shouldn't be Jimmy and Lois (for example). I think if it's Ken and Barbara, working for the Daily Planet's office in Gotham City, that might barely be acceptable.
But for mine self - a very old fogey - an occasional kiss or particularly sexy (but not provocative) costume (e.g., Starfire) should be the extent of it.
