I don't have foul language or graphic violence in my novel
Does modern fiction stand a chance of being read without the graphic stuff, including sex, in it?

I put the warning on mine mainly for drug references plus the language, ...and I know some one who gave it to their 13 year-old. You might get a broader audience without it.

There's only that one option to click at Lulu and usually books for YA and downwards don't have profanities in them, so one has no choice but to click that one option. (KDP options have 'scales' of options to do with content.)
Doesn't that make it sound like erotica?
It could even make it sound like porn.
I would think if it's in the General section & not juvenile then people would expect a book not written for children...
Is the General section not for all ages? But my stories are SF, so not in the General section. But I agree to a degree, if one clicks on the Children section one would expect them to be just for the under 13s? There's no YA section in the Fiction options though, and there should be. There is a Teen option not under Fiction though, and it only has two works of fiction in it, nothing else. (One listed as 'For all ages' though!)

I agree, but PG means Parental Guidance, so somewhere along the line those who came up with the grading expected parents to know what the contents of everything is, and you don't find sex or profanities, and many other 'bad' things, in YA stories, and definitely not in children's books, which are both under 18. There were complaints about my children's story, 'Spot the F****** Dog.'
I put the warning on mine mainly for drug references plus the language, ...and I know some one who gave it to their 13 year-old. You might get a broader audience without it.
Indeed, from 5 to 18?

There were none in the original that I can recall.
One of the best movies I've seen. I think it's refreshing to read a book or watch a movie without all the worldly crap in it.
Keep it unreal? Many writers do leave it out, though, simply so they don't have to class it as Adult. It's the same with films and TV shows.
The games industry is a good example perhaps.
A while back they were forced by 'concerned citizens' to add Parental Controls to them. Turn off the gore and swearing. Apparently it's ok to depict someone getting their head blown off in games that children buy, as long as there's no blood. I don't think any games have those controls in them still.
