I will grant you that, but I still cannot fathom a publisher who would see R or X-rated material and market it to the under-aged youth.

Danny, You ask what benchmark to use? What about the same benchmark we use for movies? Language, Sexual situations, Drug use? This amounts to PG-13.

More language, more explicit sexual scenes, heavy drug use? This is R, and definately should NOT be allowed to market to the youth under "Young Adult".
