When you use up a word like "explicit" to mean "implicit" then what word do you use when you really mean explicit? I've never seen Nine 1/2 Weeks, but it's only rated R, and I've seen movies that go beyond X into ... well, whatever's beyond X. So what would you call them? What would you call, say, Debbie Does Dallas?

I thought that showing people having sex was explicit sexuality. I now know that you have to show them completely naked, although the parts don't have to be entering anything. Pardon me.
9 1/2 weeks, from what I remember, have people tumbling about as they have sex. They cover the genitals. It was rated R. This is why I chose it as an example. I didn't intend to mislead anybody.
There are two approaches, basically, to sex ed. The first one is explaining and then assuring that they have condoms to avoid disease and pregnancy or, if they engage in activities that don't have a need for condoms, well, then I don't know. The second is explaining and guiding them to view sex a certain way (moralizing). I like it when parents can choose which method to use.
