Oh, yes. When I validate a book I always make my own decision. It isn't just children under 18. There are a lot of adults that are offended by and don't want to read books that have explicit sex, even if tastefully written, or that have obscenities or profanity. If I don't rate them adult, a I explain in the long synopsis that the book contains those words, so the reader or parents can make an informed choice. Violence, too.
