What they say in their guidelines
Look at the level of sex (or profanity, or violence, say) in other titles from that publisher

For the general case, it depends on the novel. If you take Chuck Palahniuk's Choke as an example, you can have lots of descriptions of (often weird) sex - and it's definitely not a romance novel. But the characters are recovering (or not!) sex addicts, so in this case having details fit with the characters.
