Remember all actions and dialogue should do one of two things: advance the plot or reveal something about a character; everything else should be cut out.
Sex can do both of those things and is something readers can relate to. Erotic fiction is meant to arouse the reader, has sex for the sake of sex, and usually is some idealized or fantasy version of sex. As long as the sex is central to the plot or is used to reveal things about the characters, it is not porn, and you needn't be shy of details.
If you decide to include sex, do away with polite euphemisms and instead focus on how you connect the action to the rest of your story. What are the characters thinking about during and after sex? Can anything in the bedroom serve as a metaphor for another theme in the story? Think about what the mood is of your story and how you can incorporate that mood into how you talk about the sexual act. Are there opportunities for humor? for irony? for catharsis? disappointment?

Magic sex could potentially be something very fun to write. For some reason the masturbation scene from Clockwork Orange comes to mind, when Alex fantasizes not only about women, but also about scenes of violence and destruction. Magic sex can have lots of interesting and surreal imagery. If you go for it, go for it with all the senses. Is there music? Are there fragrances? Is it an out of body experience? Maybe the women orgasm in arias and cum confetti. It's your fictional universe. Be creative.
