I think one of the issues I see with this is, frankly, real teenagers are often sexual creatures. Not that they're all HAVING sex all the time, but there is a lot of talking about it, I remember from my own youth, and even moreso what I've seen nowadays. I understand that it can make people uncomfortable, and maybe we should have some sort of tag/warning system so people can avoid it if it bugs them, but it seems pretty unrealistic to say it shouldn't be played. The truth is, there are plenty of 15 year olds who will talk about sex with 12 year olds. It may not be in depth, and they may not be trying to HAVE sex with the 12 year old, but conversations do happen. It seems like it would be better to leave it up to the individual characters/players if they want to participate or not, and then institute some kind of tag or warning thing, so other players can choose to leave it alone.
Admittedly, maybe I'm a part of the problem. I obviously put up a whole post about masturbation. XD But at the same time, A LOT of people chose to participate, and I think in that case, it was pretty clear what it was about, that wasn't sneakily sprung on anyone. On the other hand, I would be totally happy to tag a post like that, put it behind a cut, whatever, so that people it does make uncomfortable don't have to deal with it. I'm not here to offend anyone or get in the way of their fun!
