So, Adsense thinks that discussing Cervical Smears is Adult Content????
Interesting deduction on their part. Perhaps it was due to the use of the V word??? I've unpublished it, but I'm wondering if anyone else has come across an important topic, yet been unable to remain in AdSense because of Adult content. If it was the "v" word, it does make it difficult to have a professional sounding hub on a serious topic if I have to say "then ..bleh blah blah....into your...hoo-hoo."
I wrote a hub about sex education in schools that was deemed unfit for AdSense. The original problem I think was the term for the job-using-the-thing-at-the-end-of-your-arm-to-manipulate-your-partners-thing-a-ma-jig. Via discussion with Hubpages I changed that term to "manual stimulation". That was all right for awhile, but it was eventually once again deemed unacceptable. I haven't bothered trying to get ads back on the hub. It's still published just no ads.
Our country is really bizarre. Crotchless thongs for little girls is okay but saying the V word out loud is the end of the universe.
Yes, yeah, yep, and yepper... It seems that all of this PC (political correctness) Power has eliminated the fact that there is a such thing as "adults." Oh, no, I hope I didn't violate anybody's rights with this answer; blah!
I had to remove a hub due to the "a" word...it was one of my best, also. Later I saw one from someone else with horribly gruesome photos on the same subject. I suspect it's gone also.

This suggestion is not one I wish to incorporate in the current debate which has spread over Hubpages like wildfire. It is, however, a serious suggestion- one I hope gets at least a little thought.What would it take to have a Hubpages affiliated site which featured only adult content? ...

I have to say I'm very surprised to be writing this as so far an awful lot of Hubpages the site has been very impressive and I'm liking it a lot.However I'm concerned about adult oriented topics getting mixed up with those where the content should be 100% suitable for childrenI don't want hubs...

Should Hubpages have a seperate website for Adult/mature content?Many authors here have written poetry, short stories, or hubs with mature humor that have been flagged and unpublished. I think HP should have another site where we can publish these hubs. Thoughts?

Hi hubbers,I just published a hub Submissive Women vs. Dominant Women which has more to do with the roles of women in society and less to do sexual dominance or submission.However, Google is currently unable to see the distinction, and I am not getting AdSense ads.Suggestions on how I can change...

Okay, so I just got that message on my adsense account. It says that ads have been disabled, but that my account is active.I'm still seeing adsense on all my hubs; so does that mean that Hubpages is getting all of the income on my clicks? Or does it mean that ads were disabled on...
