If you read about Sri Krishna and Srimati Radha, you will find that, while they are in reality Vishnu and Lakshmi, on Earth they were the exemplification of the most divine love, but I have never seen any references to anything sexual.
In fact, Sri Krishna later had three wives who were His queens, and by whom He fathered children, but Srimati Radha was not one of His wives or queens. The love between Srimati Radha and Sri Krishna was, afaik, the deepest kind of devotional love, more than any sexual union or kinship relationship.
