Really, euphemism plays a great role in Languages it works like a decoration to the building.My language( Arabic )is full of such technique.

In Arabic there are similar ones adopted to alleviate the offensiveness of certain words and expressions.

yes,really euphemism is very important in literature to suggest sth unpleasant to the listener.
For example ,
william shakespeare's "My mistress Eyes", in this poem he speaks frankness poetic about his mistress ,he describes her in unpleasent way to reach his goal that beauty is not important thing .So ,i can say this style of writhing is very attractive in some ways that we should use in such situations to offer our idea in a good way.
