So, I'm kind of embarassed to ask this, but...

Where do you draw the line when determining whether a fic is R or NC-17 as far as sex goes?

There is no hard-and-fast rule. (lol, twelve)

Personally, as the other commenters have mentioned, I pretty much go by how explicit the language is, especially regarding anatomy. If it would be a softcore kind of "they made love all night" etc, that's an R. If it's more anatomically specific, like mentions of "cocks" and stuff, that's NC-17.

Thanks! I think I have a decent idea of the distiction but I have a habit of second guessing myself...
