G
G is considered with the MPAA as extremely innocent. No heavy concepts, nothing beyond general everyday talking, and certainly nothing less tame than that. Among roleplayers and writers however, G is less comfortable. While yes, it retains the innocence and avoids anything terrible, you might get a soft curse word or two in, and a bit of swatting or low key violence like pushing. We tend to use it to show how violent or sexual something is, so a G rated fic might go up to about a chaste kiss or a tight hug.
PG
PG is considered Parental Guidance. You can even mention death according to the MPAA, but not show it on screen vividly. Think Bambi’s mother’s death, and the old Disney movies for the rating style. We’ve gotten away with a ton more in roleplay, up to little teasing sexual jokes, but it’s pretty okay to kiss and hug and snuggle here. It’s good for everyone, as long as you don’t overdo it. It should be casual and out of the way like Mom’s and Dad’s do for their kids in TV shows where their 9 year old is grossed out by kissing.
PG-13
If you wouldn’t do it openly in front of your Mother (as long as your mother is Regan era conservative) then it’s over PG-13. This gets bent out of shape a lot, because rude jokes are fine as long as they aren’t too descriptive, but sex itself is mostly Taboo. If you start getting detailed with the heavy petting, clothing on or no, you’re heading rapidly for PG-15, or R territory depending on who is running the joint. Don’t rub someone’s thigh sensually, just rub their hip. It’s a thin line with some things, massages might make some people uncomfortable and yet others might be okay up to literally the point clothing comes off. It’s hard to find a limit here, but generally, keep it toned down. You’re not trying to get away with it, just take it out of sight and to a room if it gets heavier than light petting. About “Lime” rating.
PG-15
We pretty much ignore this exists, and assume heavier PG-13 is this type of roleplay. Basically stretching the boundaries of PG-13 a little without being too harsh. You can go up to about heavy petting, as long as it’s not overtly sexual. Violence as well gets a little more gory.
R
Sex and Violence, although not graphically described. Don’t fill in all the details, or you’re heading for NC-17. You can grunt, and thrust and moan, but no details on what that’s like emotionally or in depth. It’s pretty bland, but you can reach the bottom tiers of it really quickly. Anything over clothing being taken off is considered R, excusing clothing-on sex which also can be NC-17 depending on how graphic it is. Pretty Lemony.
NC-17
Heavy graphical depictions. All the juicy details, ahaha. There’s literally no limit here. We gave up figuring out what’s worse than this. XXX is pretty much the same term. It’s for the scenes that are really heavy though, with details that would make a sailor blush. We’re talking emotions, textures, words that make you throw up your hands and walk away with a red face if you’re semi-innocent still. Hard Lemon.
