There again you are getting into subjective judgments. Some have said that
teens hear all of those words and worse, so there would be a loot of
disagreement as to what is adult. However, in the user info there is a
place to check if you want too or do not want to withhold adult content.
And a teen has to have parent or guardian sign up for them. So they should
supervise what is going on.

And when I looked in the collection I saw a lot of
Bertrice Small books that were visible without my
logging in, so I know they aren't rated Adult, either.
They all should be, because, though they are fun and
valuable to read because of the historic details
included, they all have pretty graphic sex scenes, the
only difference between them being how many and how
graphic. The automatic rater won't catch them,
because the words used are lovely euphmisms, not our
blunt or slang terms. Validators should rate them
Adult . It's not just children, either -- I know there
are people on this list who I suspect don't want to
read scenes like that, although they can skip those
and can go on with the story.
