    I had a hub pulled for adult content... Ive read thru this puppy a few times and I really have a hard time believing it's too offensive. I have seen hubs on how to masturbate where they go into a bit of detail. If they have a section for romantic intimacy, this can't really be pushing the limits can it?


    You stare at my eyes as I sit looking at the darkening clouds.

    A drop of water falls on my face.


    You put your hand on mine, then rest it on your thigh.

    The pond begins to ripple from the droplets.


    You tuck my hair behind my ear, I quiver at your touch.

    The wind lifts the hem of my dress.


    You kiss my neck and whisper my name low in my ear.

    The skies open up, the rain begins to fall.


    You stand to your feet and pull me tight against your body.

    A lightening bolt cracks across the sky!


    Your mouth covers mine, I can barely catch my breath.

    The cold air licks my skin.


    You dip me back, your mouth blazes a southern trail.

    We are completely drenched by the torrent.


    You lay me on the ground, your body heavy on mine.

    A small current rushes beneath, still we remain.

      Beth37,
      Not only is this hot and beautiful all in one, but I kept waiting for the kicker. I'm not seeing it. I tried to scrutinize it as much as I could and I really can't see what would have set it off. Quite frankly I think some of my silly poems have worse wording/language than this.
      Maybe the guy that sits in the assessment booth didn't like the funny feeling he got when reading this? People fear the unknown ;-)

          I don't know, it could be, but I'd like to think you'd be safe from someone just simply clicking a flag on your hub... I would hope there would have to be something to warrant pulling it and in this case, I'm just not seeing it.

          Hi Beth. As a poet myself who have had my work flagged for being too adult, I cam honestly say that this just that.

          The first lines are clearly leading to something quite intimate. I believe that "your body heavy on mine", "You stand to your feet and pull me tight against your body" may be the lines which are causing the problem.

          This could also be a matter of being manually moderated as well as real people can read between the lines.

          What I have done is just publish my poems on my own blog and remove all writings that could be considered adult just to be within the guidelines.

            So are the guidelines then "things you can read between the lines?"

            Cause you could use those same words in a different kind of story and they wouldn't be provocative at all. I don't know... my pony tails too tight, Im getting a head ache. lol

              No that's what I meant at all. I meant when a human moderates a hub they see things which the automated system cannot see. It is clear from reading the poem that it is a very sensual poem with hints about sex. So it would stand to reason that your hub might have been manually moderated.

                  I think what happens is when the moderators find a writer who writes a certain way they tend to go through all their work to make sure they comply with the rules. Just change around a few things so it still hot but not so obvious. For example:

                  "We sink to the earth as we become one"  OR "The earth becomes my cushion as we are brought together in love"

                  instead of "You lay me on the ground, your body heavy on mine."

                  You are basically saying the same thing but a little more fluffy...lol

          Beth;

          Very nice, as well as quite the romantic poem. The only verse that I could figure, that would raise a red flag to me, would be the one right before the last one. Otherwise can't figure the adult content part out.  I have one romantic poem-"two forks apart" which I thought had a few steamy verses in it myself, intertwined within the main plot.

      Hi Beth,
      A similar thing happened to me on a mathematical puzzle that used a certain non-family-friendly buzzword too many times. I kept a stiff upper lip, and sanitized it. But I did keep the (already sanitary) Nina Hartley picture. smile

      That said, I did not find anything objectionable in your hub. At times, HP goes overboard on the family values bit. Apparently, someone forgot to eat his bran flakes at breakfast this morning.

      Well, I think it is a great piece of work Beth!

      I'm not really sure about the sexual imagery side... for sure there may be hints towards it but if you start cutting pieces like this because of hints, it is a bit of a slippery slope and very subjective... it is a couple in the middle of a storm, if people want to read more into it, it is their business... I don't think it should have been cut

      Beth37 I read it over and I fail to see how it's explicit enough to be pulled. I've written and implied worse subjects and I still haven't been pulled. I rather enjoyed it. Just enough steam to make a good romance without going over the top with detail. You might want to talk to the HubPages people about it.

      Beth, you did say that he rested his hand on "his thigh," not yours.  I liked your poem, but I could see the indicators why it was judged as adult content by someone's standards--not mine though.  Quite frankly, what I don't like to see in hubs are the F-word and other swearing terms like sh*t, both of which I have seen.

    Having recently suffered at the hands of 'manual' moderation myself,  I can't help but feel there is a heightened sensitivity towards any topic that is in the least bit sexually orientated.
    Whilst I appreciate that we must adhere to Google's terms and conditions for advertising, there is definitely some over zealous moderation being undertaken at the moment which borders on censorship.
    The constitutional right of free speech doesn't extend to web content writers, it would seem!!

      Marisa Wrightposted 10 years agoin reply to this

      I've noticed HubPages seems to be especially twitchy about adult content lately and I think I know why.

      One of their competitors, Wizzley, lost all Adsense advertising on their site for several weeks recently.   All because one of their members had uploaded a graphic image. 

      We've always talked about "be careful what you publish because you could lose your Adsense", but I suspect we all thought it would never happen - until it did. 

      Obviously it was a hairy few weeks but fortunately Wizzley was able to get things sorted out and got Adsense back, but it must have been a hefty blow to the site (and its members weren't too happy with the loss of income either!).   I can't blame HP for being ultra-careful since then.

      We all have to remember that it's not HP that's the prude, it's Adsense, which seems to live in the 1950's (if not the Victorian era).  But I must say, since Adsense filters mainly check for "naughty words", I can't see why they would have a problem with this poem.

      Yupperclub --- I believe that you might have some anger-management issues and if you speak the same way that you write, you probably give everybody a headache... it's better not to vent those issues onto others though.

      As for porn --- it's not porn, it's not a video or a magazine... you could call it erotic fiction which was inappropriate, explicit or even indecent (none of which I think applies, however) but it's not porn...

      Before you correct other peoples' use of English, you should put your own house in order.

    Truth be told I don't read and comment on much poetry because I have difficulty understanding different meanings the writer is trying to convey. However, I do appreciate expressions of feelings, thoughts and dreams. Writing, no matter what genre, is to be treasured. I have read your poem and on a personal level found it to be full of deep feelings and emotions. It was sensuous in tone, but certainly not vulgar or offensive. Instead, I thought your words formed a beautiful image, full of emotional innuendo. I thought the whole idea of writing poetry was to fill a reader's mind with interpretation? Again, I see no reason why your lovely words have been censored.

    For the love of Pete!!

    The hang-ups in this society about all things sexy and sexual have just gone way too far.

    1)  why is it "okay" to use sex all over the place to sell stuff--(does the guy shopping for a new motorcycle really think it comes with the bikini-clad hot babe?)--but "not okay" to describe a loving moment in such absolutely beautiful poetry?

    2)  Countries that are more open about sexuality have far LOWER rates of so-called "sex crimes."  That is to say,  where sex is not treated as a crime, there is no need for criminal prosecution of same; i.e.,  you can't get busted for a sex crime or "indecent exposure" if you get caught short and have to take a leak a the side of a roadway, like you can in the "good-ol' " US of A....  Also victimless activities, (such in countries/counties/states)  where prostitution is legal, eliminates so-called 'sex-crime' statistics for the world's "oldest profession."  (And no, I'm not talking about true criminal activities such as violence  (e.g., rapes or pedophilia!)

    3) When trying to "clean things up," why is it equally "bad" (or more ridiculous yet), "worse" to use clinical anatomically correct words??!!

    4)  Why is it "okay" to show all kinds of war movies, alien sci-fi moves, "documentaries" about violent acts--complete with graphic blood, guts and gore, but heaven forbid we should see or hear about two people enjoying a loving moment? 


    Our priorities are completely backwards here!  As far as the parental-freak-out  "OMG..what if the children see or hear about this?????!!!"  All I have to say is "Get real, and get a grip!"  From the time my kids were very young, I've always said I'd rather have them witness a moment or few of caring lovemaking in a movie or TV show, than to have them watch people being shot up with guns!

    Finally, folks--addressed to whomever is in charge of 'moderating'--GET A CLUE!!  if it were not for SEX, not one of us would even be here!!!  We are not amoebas; we don't reproduce asexually by mitosis!  Remember, so-called 'filth' (just like beauty) is in the eye of the beholder. 

    SEX is not a "bad word."  We ARE sexual beings; it is a basic part of who we are.  I guess some people don't like that; they are too hung-up to be reminded that we, too are animals, (mammals, to be exact, and we share the same top 4 biological classifications as all other members of that group, from horses to cats, dogs and any other mammal);  that sex is a basic animal instinct.  We are not "higher" or "better than" any other animal--it is just human egocentric attitudes causing this entire strain of illogical thinking!

    Death to censorship!  Long live sex; long live our species!

        I think you're right about Google AdSense and I can see the connection why sites have to be careful so they don't lose Adsense. But what's funny about Google is you can put adult content on Blogger, for instance, but you have to be careful not to monetize with adsense or else you will violate adsense TOS. It's not against Google blogger rules to put up very adult content though. It's only their advertising end which forbids it.

    I'll take a stab at this one... Have you pissed anyone off lately? Because I think one of two things have happened. My first guess would be that you were selected for a random manual reading rather than being run through an automatic word catching program (as you didn't swear or use any explicit words or even slang.) The second thing that may have happened is you did go through an automatic censor but around the same time someone who took offense to your poem or who just wants to rile you up flagged it and made sure it did go through a manual reading - at which point the poem became obvious and the reader cried in anguish, "Oh my god! It has sexual content! RUN!"

    So all that being said.... stop writing porn. wink (And I'll try to stop swearing and making references to medical conditions and anatomy...) PS You don't really want to get tagged multiple times or they will start reading everything you post manually. If you know something is going to be a problem there is always the option of taking off the ads yourself. You won't be paid for it but it'll still be up to potentially move traffic to your other Hubs. Good luck!
