You might want to try looking into World of Darkness system for making this RPG. It works a lot better with less combat-focused games (although note that I'm a devoted D&D geek who would never leave it for the world!).

One easy way to get around the issue of avoiding actual sex (which really is just plain awful to roleplay in person. I really wish I hadn't been there that day) is to take a slight step back from the pure eroticness of the setting, rather than sticking purely to canon. For instance;

''The Chief God knew that the foul rival who had so corrupted Creation into lewdness was growing all-too quickly in power. Desperate to put a stop to the Demon Lord's seemingly-inevitable rise, the Chief God reached through time itself to pull forth a small piece of that time when the world followed its true and proper laws.''

''In a staggered, uncontrolled wave that rippled across the world, the [hunger for human flesh] struck mamono after mamono in an unpredictable pattern that might spare one one while driving her twin to commit atrocities. Others couldn't even keep their feminine appearance, their bodies warping back into the forms they once held before the Demon Lord imprinted the succubi's [hunger for human love and lust] onto their kind.''

By making this change to the setting, you basically erase--from a storytelling perspective--the certainty that a mamono won't try to truly harm or kill a human. You could see an arachne walk down the street, and have no idea whether it was a true mamono who truly was not able to hurt a human, or a monster that drained men of blood in alleyways. A monster girl jumping on a human could be an imminent rape or a deadly meal. It also gives the Order more positive dimensions, and multifacited villains (or partially-villainous allies!) are always fun in stories. You also get monster-on-monster warfare as they try to protect their husbands and those who could in the future be their husbands, while possibly being attacked in turn by humans who don't understand what's going on.

Sex is a part of play, the opportunity of life-threatening combat still exists outside of just humans, and the basic setting and factions are still there, providing ample opportunities for the socialization any game with mamono requires. Obviously you don't have to do what I described, but a similar method of mixing MGE with something darker (perhaps merge it with MGQ? More lethality, but increase fidelity? And less humiliation...) could produce a similar effect that would make making it as a roleplaying game much easier.
