"mature content"?

    I run a website which is popular among teenagers. The site gets its content from its users, some content is questions related to sex. IE: "Am I old enough o have sex" or "my bf is pressuring me into sex, what should I do"

    Is this adult content? I

    If this is against the TOS, if I filter the words would that pass?

    The examples you gave aren't necessarily against the AdSense TOS as read literally, but I think you'd be walking a fine line. If you were to use AdSense on this site, you'd have to be very careful to police your content daily to make sure nothing egregious wound up on the site. Perhaps another ad network would be a better match for your site.

    Hmmm, I could put a filter on anything sexual related? What I don't get is how adwords can display very mature advertisements (ones I don't want my young viewers seeing) while we can"t have some explicit content :\

    I don't think it's violating rules.
    However it's better to make a separate section for sex related content and,
    not putting adsense on that section.

    I do not think you website would be banned by Google because of some words "sex" in such an article. Don't worry your site is not about explicited adult content, Google is now so good at distinguishing content.

    I have said this many times. Adsense is pesky about adult and gambling content but it usually delivers this type of content so I believe they policies are ambiguous.
