yes physical reference when it serves a purpose. It's a little peeve of mine in stories to constantly see one character referred to as 'the brunet' or 'blonde' over and over! I think sometimes some authors are afraid to use a name, that the name itself would become too repetitive.
It's tricky with sex scenes that are too involved, they can go too long, or there is an element which throws the reader off.
