I was gonna tag this too. Yes, I think it means "explicit with respect to sex". Mglovesfun (talk) 09:10, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The meaning is pretty obvious, but on the other hand it's such a common collocation I feel it could be a possible keeper, it just feels like one of those set phrases that English uses. Wouldn't really miss it if it was deleted though. Ƿidsiþ 12:05, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete SOP. By the way, are the usage notes right? Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV 16:14, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Highly debatable, they mean very little to me. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:09, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: compare sexually overt, sexually awakened, etc. Equinox 16:39, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, it doesn't just mean sexually explicit. I can mean a woman in a two piece bathing suit in some circles. It can mean only hardcore sex acts in other cultures. It is a arbitrary term depending on context, culture, and generation. I find it useful to note that.Lucifer (talk) 21:24, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Wiktionary catalogues words not concepts. We don't do that because that's what Wikipedia is for. Romance, justice, sex, liberty, death, etc. are conceptualised in many different ways in many different cultures but that doesn't mean we have to include that information in the entries. ---> Tooironic (talk) 22:39, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
