As there have been questions concerning this, here is some clarification on the matter of rating of this board in terms of how much expliciteness is allowed.
This board is rated as PG 13 which means that parental guidance is suggested for kids younger than 13.
Or, in fanfiction.net terms, PG13 is the same as the T rating.
Definitions:
PG 13
Parents Strongly Cautioned - Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Films given this rating may contain sexual content, brief or partial nudity, some strong language and innuendo, humor, mature themes, political themes, terror and/or intense action violence. However, bloodshed is rarely present. This is the minimum rating at which drug content is present; with the exception of Austin Powers and Click, marijuana smoking is the only illegal drug use that can be depicted in a PG-13 movie, with the exception of Forrest Gump, in which a brief scene depicts Jenny snorting cocaine. While PG-13 films usually have more profanity than PG films, this is not necessarily the case. A film that is given a PG-13 rating due to profane language and/or racial insults is given this rating because it contains more of these elements than a PG rating would permit, or the film contains uses of stronger profanities than a PG would permit. A film rated PG-13 for "intense violence" is given this rating if blood is present in a violent way. In recent years, this rating has been used for the majority of American films released
which T sums up as:
Suitable for teens, 13 years and older, with some violence, minor coarse language, and minor suggestive adult themes.
So, to sum up in short, that´s your guideline if you have any questions.
Since T speaks of "suggestive" adult themes this means a fade to black when things get too obvious. Also, since is fiction, not film, T might be a better guideline, suggesting something that´s a bit more mild and heading more into the direction of the AoS show as it was. The PG13 definition was added for explanation and clarification.
For any other questions, don´t hesitate to ask.

But ... errr, might it be there's a "not" missing in that sentence here?
