Stonelands has 265 F-bombs in 472 pages, which was necessary to give the dialogue legitimacy. So, I may not be the right one to chime in, here.
As far as profanity to express eroticism and desire, there's a time and place for everything. It can certainly be done; it all depends on your characters, though.

There is lots of swearing in my work, mainly because of the story contexts/subject matter. It wouldn't seem authentic without the correct language.
There is also lots of sex in my work but I almost never use four letter words in describing sex scenes or dialogue in sex scenes. Probably because I would never use such words myself in an intimate situation - with the possible exception of if something slipped and caused me a nasty injury.
