According to the Motion Picture Association of America, the definition of PG-13

PG-13 — Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May Be Inappropriate For Children Under 13. A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous.

Just my 2 cents, but the Mods & Admins will always have final say and we
as users must respect that authority.

You can't compare the Mingle rating's system with the MPAA's. I stopped trying long ago.

some things are blatant. Others are in a gray area and mods have to use our best judgement. Regardless of popular belief...we are human.

All I can say is, if you are unsure if it crosses the line, either email a mod or don't post it.

Ditto. Mainly because my idea of erotic, sexy, etc are not necessarily other's idea of the same.

I'll search the web for my own porn preferences, thank you very much.

Damn, and I was going to post screenshots from the X-Rated Scooby Doo movie.

good grief

It's very boring here now compared to how it was back in the day.
Such a shame because it was at one time a very interesting and fun
and hopping site.

I do think that many of the most interesting personalities here left
in part because of the elimination of the R-rated forums and
discussions/joking and play that "arose" from these sections. Degraded
the commercial value of the site greatly due to diminished activity
and because the social interactions were neutered.

Oh well. A few people like porridge at least. But there are a lot
less eyeballs and there are very few people in many demographics and
it often gets like watching grass grow.

FWIW

It is perhaps a "business opportunity".

I do agree that they should not have taken away the sex and intimacy forum.

yes but if you read what marcus said it is because of the advertisers that the changes were made. We still do a good bit of joking. and I don;t see nearly as many incidents of "drama" which is probably not a bad thing

I don't notice that much change really as I don;t really miss anyone whose no longer here except maybe Romeo and Ramone and they mainly posted music anyway jmho

I was not here when they had the "sex and intimacy forum"
Just curious tho, did it become a playground for pervs &
were there many complaints if so?

I realize that it was a business decision to be able to attract
certain advertising which is sensitive to R-rated content.

And there is a market for O'Douls. But there is a slightly larger
market (and arguably much more interesting market) for real adult
beverages. O'Douls gets boring quickly.

I spent some time there It was Beast

I used to participate in those forums and it was in good clean
dirty fun. Lots of interesting discussions about toys, positions,
habits, tastes and R-rated not X.

There were pervs before the switch and there are pervs now after
but it was never a big problem as far as the social aspects of the
site were concerned.

No one had to go there or post comments there. It was just
kind of fun and interesting.

Well said (((((s1ow)))))

I think it would be interesting to see how many members would prefer an area like that as opposed to not if a poll were taken.

I do think some of the "pervs" ruined it for the rest of us in the S&I section, 2 of the ladies(who sadly are no longer around here) told me they stopped posting in there because they kept attracting guys who couldn't tell they weren't being serious in there.

there were a few people who commented
