Think of the forum as a set of discussions taking place in someone's living room, where the five- or twelve-year-old kids might wander through at any time. (Because they might. MR is *high* in the google ratings for any ebook topic.) We've had open discussion about explicit topics, but dodge around the specific words that are prone to trigger net-nanny software and the like.
This is going to be hard. I haven't been PG since I WAS 13.
