what is considered adult content. uk.

In my science fantasy novel, 2 characters do get together, and there's one scene where it's clear they've had sex, but it's implied, not described. but that's not the story. I've realised I'm not sure what adult content means.

Hi, thanks, I have been reassured. It's difficult when you suddenly find what wouldn't make you turn a hair, has others in a lather.

There's implied sex in Twilight for example but it's not classed as adult. I think you'll be okay calling it whatever genre you like. Don't worry :)

adult content is what makes an adult content

I suppose it depends on who your book is aimed at. If it is adult SciFi then I would say anything goes.

I thought the Alien movies were full of implied sex, or maybe that's just what I see.
