From a pure publishing perspective, super explicit depictions will turn a lot of publishers off, nevermind readers. I have a pretty high tolerance, and usually what I ask is how neccesarry a scene like that really is for the plot and contexr. If its not, I usually lose respect for the author. Lighter is better. And if you're going there, do so sparingly and for good reason.
