I think they largely are the same thing, so I agree.

But I suspect the intended reader isn't puritanical: it's the reader's parents who will have hissy fits.

I would love to know what, exactly, they are afraid will happen if their innocent darling does read a sex scene in a book. (My guess is "ask questions Mom and Dad aren't comfortable answering.")
