[Now you've done it. Never, ever invite me to yammer. I just go on and on and never stop. Note that I am extremely incoherent.]
Not silly at all! Fictional someones are people too. At least in my opinion. [Which doesn't really count because I tend to get rather attached to fictional characters, but yes] And the only near-almost-but-not-quite-explicit scene I've ever written came up to a grand total of two lines, one of which was about Eru blessing Numenor (don't ask). (Although there are people who write explicit romance so amazingly well that I don't mind...)
Although yes. I completely get that. I think that, say, Noldorin or Numenorian society would have been more liberal than the Shire or Beleriand. But more emotional, definitely. [On an unrelated note, the kiss at the end of BBC's Pride and Prejudice mini-series almost ruined the entire thing for me, because it was completely out of character with the period...]
