The "sweet" or "traditional" romances include such contemporary lines as Harlequin Romance, Harlequin Presents, and Silhouette Romance, among others.  Traditional Regency stories would also fall into a similar category.  All of these books vary greatly in how sensual they are, but under no circumstances do the hero and heroine make love unless they are married.  Sexual tension is still a key ingredient.  Other, more sensual lines also emphasize sexual tension, but the couple does not have to be married in order to make love, and it is never treated lightly.
