I do think the show is implying some things when it comes to sex regarding Juliette. The writers made sure not to have her sleep with Renard in season 2 even when she under a powerful lust spell. It would have been completely excusable, at least to me, if Juliette had slept with Renard due to this spell. She went as far as firing off a gun to stop herself from going all the way with him even though she didn't remember Nick at this time so it would have been hard to say she was in love with him at the time. Juliette was still on the "good" side at this point.
In season 4, Juliette starts to embrace her Hexenbiest. I never bought into a Hexenbiest making someone evil, we had already seen Elizabeth and Henrietta at this point, but she leaves Nick and sleeps with Renard. The writers were using this to show she was not the same Juliette anymore and they had to know that a lot of the audience would have a negative reaction.
Juliette then tried to drop a statue on Adalind, threatened to rip out her throat in a police station, burned down the trailer, fired off a shot at Monroe, and allied herself with Kenneth and slept with him on the bed she and Nick recently shared. Juliette sleeping with Kenneth was definitely part of her transition over to the "dark" side. It was clear she was up to no good due to her recent actions and trying to draw Nick's mom out of hiding. Juliette had to know Nick would come home to see the sheets messed up and take an educated guess that Juliette was doing something on that bed with someone else and it would hurt him.
I really believe the writers were trying to tell us that Juliette had completely gone off the rails and they were using Juliette having sex with Renard and especially Kenneth as a part of her descent. Neither of these things needed to happen so I have to assume this was the reason they were included.
