If one wanted to learn to draw Hentai, wheather to add an intimate scene to a story, or just out of curiosity, are there any books that could teach one how to do so?
First off, you need to ask yourself if you are drawing a hentai scene or a romantic scene - the styles are a bit different in what you show, how much you show, and your intent. If you are going purely for the pornographic perspective then honestly your best bet is to pick up a couple adult mangas to get a rough idea of the style and then to just go an practice drawing what you would expect to see.

Romantic scenes are a bit harder so you might want to check out a couple of the more romantic mangas to see how they handle the intimate scenes.

As for the How to Draw Manga books - your mileage may very for them. Some people find them worth while for learning, others find them worth while for reference, and others get nothing out of them. Personally, I would recommend checking out the following:
Of that group the one that you would most likely get the most out of is the Costume Encyclopedia - very helpful when you get stuck on what someone should be wearing.

It is necessary to have a fundamental drawing skill to be able to draw anything. One trick I learned in art school was to trace figures from books, comics, etc. in block form so you get a feel for layout, perspective and basic anatomy. Adult publications can be used in the same manner. If you're already drawing anime, then hentai shouldn't be too difficult once you become familiar (and comfortable) with drawing sexy images as opposed to just cartoons. I do suggest that anyone interested in drawing Hentai/anime should buy any and every "How To..." book they think will help. I have a few and they do offer a lot of tips concerning things you might not think about at first. The best thing you can do is practice and keep practicing....
