    I am trying to write a blog within the safe boundaries, and if necessary I might start a separate blog for Mature Content. Is the word masturbation considered mature content?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    From the TOS http://en.wordpress.com/tos/
    Please don’t:
    •Post explicit sexual materials that can be considered pornographic, such as explicit images or video of sexual acts or close-up images of genitalia;
    •Post links or banner ads to adult-oriented affiliate networks, such as pornography site signups;
    •Post links, text, or images promoting or advertising escort services;
    •Post images of extreme violence or gore without associated context or commentary;
    •Post images of child pornography;
    •Post content that promotes pedophilia, such as blogs with galleries of images of children where the images, content surrounding the images, or the intent of the blog is sexually suggestive.

    There is no warning notice page provided here. You crate a static front page and post one of your own making on it.

    Also you can go to the front of your blog and click the “report blog” link in the dropdown to report it to Staff as “mature”. For details re: mature content blogs.
    A blog that is marked as Mature is excluded from public areas of the WordPress.com service. This means:

    It is not eligible to be featured in Freshly Pressed on the front page of WordPress.com
    It will not appear in global tag listings
    It will not appear in Top Blogs listings, recent posts, or related posts listings on other blogs
    The blog’s users cannot use that URL as a link in their WordPress.com Forums profile

    Thanks for taking the time to look this up! :-)

    I think I did read most of this before, but it doesn’t specifically say what words are safe or not. So I just decided to keep this blog as clean as I can and avoid any words that I am not sure of. I will start another blog if I am in doubt.

    BTW, I like your site. :-)

    Thanks again! :-)
