I think this has been pretty explicitly confirmed in DS9 and LD.
Comment on Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters?

In the episode “The Perfect Mate” Riker gets all teased and worked up by the sexy alien.
He escapes the conversion saying “I’ll be in the holodeck” with a lot of implication!

It was never overtly stated that Barclay was doing sex stuff, though I thought it was a neat bit of world building how they said that recreating people they knew in real life was sort of taboo.

Definitely. They talk later about how it’s one of the largest breaches of trust walking in on someone’s use of it.
