Another query re theological language in Russian

[Jules Levin]

I came across the phrase "supruzheskaya blizost'" in a context where 
in English one would expect
"conjugal relations" or "marital relations".  Neither phrase is 
ambiguous in English, and either one is
suitable for high-toned moralistic literature, but the Russian struck 
me as a euphemism for a euphemism.
Couldn't it just as easily imply "spousal companionship", which is 
nice but not identical to "marital relations"?
Or is the Russian phrase also unambiguous?]
