How can you tone that down?

  Mainly by deleting explicit extraneous details so that more is left to the imagination. "There was another dead man beyond the old one, a big red-bearded man with a rotting grey bandage covering his left ear and part of his temple. But the worst thing was between his legs, where nothing remained but a crusted brown hole crawling with maggots." becomes "There was another dead man beyond the old one, a big red-bearded man with a rotting grey bandage covering his left ear and part of his temple." I personally find explicit gore like that revolting, and I also don't like reading explicit descriptions of sex organs and/or act of sex so I deleted them. I remove the explicit descriptions of the sex organs and act of sex, while leaving it clear that the characters are sleeping together.
