Do members of other species find one another attractive and then have sex with each other?
Answer
In short yes.
Two relationships that leap to mind immediately are with the Twi'lek Nawara Ven and Human Rhysati Ynr in the X-Wing series as well as the Human Gavin Darklighter and Bothan Asyr Sei'lar, though their relationship was cut short due to Asyr faking her death.
Even Corran Horn had his inter-species fling with the Selonian Chertyl Ruluwoor, which ended up not working out because their biologies were incompatible (Corran's sweat was too acidic for Chertyl and her fur caused an allergic reaction after the deed was done).
Most of the time, such relationships end up adopting children as stated in X-Wing: Wedge's Gamble and X-Wing: The Bacta War (I might have remembered that last source incorrectly).
However, there was a sort of stigma or perhaps social reluctance to accept such relationships for various political and social reasons, such as the contentions the Bothans had against Gavin and Asyr's relationship, which culminated in her faking her death. Various societal ideas of "purity" also seemed to be present in the universe, as evidenced by Palpatine's edicts for an all human battle force (Grand Admiral Thrawn being the exception), so there might have even been laws banning such relationships. But nonetheless, if there is a will, they find a way.
EDIT: As Chad mentioned in comments, female Twi'leks were often traded as slaves to brothels during both the Grand Republic (probably even farther back) as well as during the Galactic Empire. Also there was significant interbreeding between the early fallen/Dark Jedi humans with the humanoid Sith species back during the early days of the Jedi, long before the Old Republic.
