Are you a virgin?

[Captain Ice]

Take a look at the MPAA and it's standards. That's where the PG-13 reference comes from.

As far as listing the individual laws, I can't because I do not know them myself. My understanding of them is that we are to hold the discussion (for the most part) to what the MPAA would consider PG-13. We're allowed to take a liberal definition of what would be considered PG-13, but this post pretty far beyond even that definition. As far as editing it out of the post, it's up to us to decide if that is required or if it can be left as an example of what not to do at this level. This skirts the line at which he'd have been required to remove the text, but I don't think it crosses it.

MPAA ratings guide

Let's not further derail this thread with this discussion. Your question is better suited to the QSF forum.

His problem is the same as mine. That description is way, way too graphic for a PG13 board. IIRC you are in Europe somewhere. However, the servers for this board are on US soil, hence subject to US laws. US law requires keeping such graphic descriptions of sex acts off of the board.

I've never heard of a law like that before. Furthermore, if it is indeed breaking the law then why hasn't the post been edited? To be honest, I didn't think it was that bad that it warranted three head banging smilies. Even if it is against some law Maxwell did it not to be crass but to define what we were talking about.

Seconded. I don't see it as explicitly graphic. It's simply the way nature intended us to make babies, even kids who haven't even left primary school know that. Now if he were graphically describing a bukkake scene or something like that, I would understand the point... That's not for PG-13.

edit: I didn't yet saw your post, Captain Ice. I'll take a look at the MPAA standards, though I don't understand those ratings; we aren't a motion picture company, are we? But I suppose those ratings are the defacto standard in the US for things on the internet, also.

Hmm:

PG-13 - Parents Strongly Cautioned (1984-Present) - Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
May contain moderate language, minimal strong language, some explicit nudity, intense violence, gore, some sex, or mild drug content. This is the highest unrestricted rating.

NC-17 - No One 17 and Under Admitted (1990-Present)
May contain very strong sexual or offensive language, strong explicit nudity, very strong gore or disturbing violence, or graphic drug abuse. Films with this rating can not be watched by anyone under 18 (even if they are accompanied by an adult) and are usually edited to get an "R" rating. Today NC-17 movies are called "uncut" to get verification that very graphic sex or violence scenes will be completely displayed during the film.

Well, the comment about dicks certainly falls under "some explicit nudity" and "some sex", not "strong explicit nudity" or "strong sexual language", as far as I can determine. I'd say it falls perfectly under PG-13, as far as specifics go.

edit2:

Love how you wound up with two ends and not the middle in what you have quoted..

Well, I assumed R was a much higher rating then NC-17 is, that's why I left it out. If it isn't, supplant NC-17 with R. I still don't understand how that word would get an "R" rating, but then, the rules aren't really specific. What constitutes "strong language" is apparent very different for me then for you. Strange, those cultural clashes.

 

[Captain Ice]

^The dick comments would probably get an "R" rating in a movie, not PG-13 and definitely not NC-17. They are too explicit for PG-13. Love how you wound up with two ends and not the middle in what you have quoted..

Any further discussion of what constitues PG-13, and what we can/cannot leave in a post needs to go to QSF. Let's keep this one on topic folks.

The number of virgins has risen to a grand total of 21. Perhaps we should begin a betting pool.

Michael Jackson was asked this question by Oprah and he responded, "I'm a gentleman."

A will give the same answer.

The tally of matches would be glorious.

 

[DiSiLLUSiON]

What's keeping the virgins from simply adding as many people as possible on their list, in the hopes of getting a match?

 

[melancholymecha]

yes, due to mental health reasons. Though I might also be asexual, b/c I find sex repulsive.

 

[ITL]

No, but my sexual dalliances and shenanigans ("The Happy Times", as I recall them), are quickly receding into the past at an alarming speed...

Memmorieeees...light the coooorners of my miiiiind.....

[Mooch]

nope, I am married.

 

[TheGodBen]

22 virgins? Hmm, that's divisible by 2.

I have a cunning plan...

If they thought that way, they probably wouldn't still be virgins...

Perhaps losing their virginity isn't of that much importance.

Certainly doesn't seem to be for most of the people answering here. Not everyone is Jayson, you know!

True, and I have a feeling a lot of these people are probably teenagers.

Plus, ya know, we're Star Trek fans. That's like an automatic handicap in the sex department!

Nope, lost mine over 6 years ago at the ripe but disappointingly late age of 19.

I'm also into anime, video games, and programming. My odds are not good.

Depends on the girls you seek. Geeky girls can be total nymphos.
