Almost done but stuck with 16d - I've got P-R---E
And 13d. I've got -E-I-H ---E
Any help for a first-timer appreciated.

Davidp, it's always good to give the clues - then those of us without a copy can help/try to help.

16 is quite complicated. Penny gives the P, then a 2-letter word for "excited" around partner's "bottom", then "love", then incomplete "sex".
I don't have your H or final E in the other.

Two tips for posting - look to see if there are any pre-existing threads on the puzzle. Your queries might have been answered (they haven't been, in fact) and add your queries to that thread if needed; also give the clues.

Thanks Chrise
You're right. 13d ends in 'S' not 'E'
The H comes from what I think is a double H in the middle of 20a.

I can guess what you've got. It nearly works, but unfortunately it's not right!
I can be relaxed (smug?) about this as I had 20a first.

Right!
Rethought 20a - D not H - so I think I've now got 13d.
Thanks for your help.
