The new series screwed up, in too many ways and certainly without the depth - at least for the few episodes I bothered to sit through... if human male and visitor female got busy, I doubt they went into the detail the 1983 miniseries did, or even the 1985 miniseries that lazily overlooked the setup. The 2009 reboot simply didn't seem to bother, relying more on spectacle than sincerity, so I doubt there was much substance apart from the obligatory sex talk (for the sake of spectacle than anything of detail or depth).
If they have compatible parts (e.g. less reptilian), and already knowing they are cold to the touch (something conveniently forgotten in the 1985 ill-fated TV series), it would be weird.
Some reptile species, skinks, chameleons, et al, do have young incubate inside the mothers so intercourse is technically possible. Some lizard species do have an external organ for the males, even if the organs that create the DNA are still housed internally. Evolution would, in a fictional setting but based enough on real life science to remain sci-fi and not brainless fantasy, could still allow lizards that evolve to bipedal form and walking on legs to have other similar attributes. The Visitor race had similarities to humans but still enough differences.
I suppose if one added bubble wrap inside a blow-up doll one could get a not dissimilar sensation.
