"Adult content"

[redbird]

In one sense, much of what I post here is adult content--it's about my life, and I'm an adult and some of what I'm doing or dealing with is different from what a teenager or pre-teen is dealing with. Yes, any of us could come home and find there was a page missing from a mystery novel we borrowed from the library, or post about their very energetic cat. But they're less likely to be traveling alone, so travel problems shape differently. They won't be posting the same sort of job- or career-related things that I am (even those who have paid jobs). But there's nothing here that I would consider inappropriate for minors qua minors; irrelevant or boring, perhaps.

And no, I don't consider my relationships any less appropriate for children to know about than a monogamous heterosexual relationship would be.

I don't, either, although I can't say I advertise the details of mine ... The way I figure it, I f-lock most stuff anyway. I do wonder if polyamory is going to flag itself as adult, though.

I don't consider your relationships any less appropriate for children to know about than monogamous heterosexual relationships, either. As you know. I was positively delighted when a child in my congregation (a child too young for LJ, by way of being preliterate), asked me, "Where is Vicki?" I liked the illusion that everyone knows we're a couple, even though we don't live together, not even in the same city.

The child went on to ask if I was a woman (or possibly if Vicki and I were both women. There was some mumbling.) Discussion of gender identity is often considered a seriously adult theme, even by people who recognize that the existence of same-sex relationships is something children can safely be permitted to see.
Adrian: "Yes, I'm a woman."
Child: "Is you soprano or alto?"

Ah, useful categories already.
