Seems to me that you have more of a worldbuilding problem, although with writing in mind.
You want to add a sex component to your magic system. Determining the what/who/how 's is purely a worldbuilding problem. The fact that you don't want it to be a central point of your story determines a constraint, a guideline.

Think about your story and think about all the occasions on which magic is used. Now ask yourself if having sex involved in each of those scenes is too much. Does your writing give the feeling you want? Try writing one if you have trouble figuring this out.

In either case more worldbuilding awaits you.

If the answer is yes, then you have to invente a good reason or a new rule for your magic system to render the use of sex occasionnal. From this point on, you have a lot of possibilities, it's up to you.

If the answer is no, that still lets you a good amount of worldbuilding to do. After all, you are adding a new possibility to your magic system. You have to think about all of the implications for all the people involved.

In the end it's a very subjective question. It depends on the amount of sex that's happening, the amount you want to actually show or talk about, the general feeling that you want your story to convey, your ability to portray this feeling in your writing and your target audience.
