That's why I've usually said Dancing is R-rated. It's easier. And probably less offensive than saying, "look, it's for adults, and if you're physically old enough but not mature enough, don't read it, and save us both the grief when you get all shocked an' crap."
I do find it amusing, working on an archives, when folks have sent me story after story and they're all NC-17, and not a bloody one would get more than PG-13 (if that much) from the MPAA. Talk about inflating just to catch the audience's eye.
Yes, a skirt on a guy. Boy, that's walking the edge. Puhleeeese, Robert Smith did that twenty years ago. But then, the last one-shot I did had crossdressing, and it was odd how many people shied away from it for fear crossdressing=girlifying. I always find it amusing when people mix gender issues with external dress, as if the two had any relation...but that's a tangent for a different rant!
