Is Your Sex Life Rated G, PG, PG-13, or R?

About This Quiz

It is impossible to think about subjects like obscenity without thinking of the Motion Picture Association of America, or MPAA. The MPAA was originally created as a sort of pro-film industry organization with a broad portfolio, but with all the hysteria about how certain material could poison American culture, it voluntarily instituted the Hays Code, which was replaced with the current rating system in the late 1960s. 

The movie rating system, which is both voluntary and actively participated in by all the major studios including Netflix, has dozens of very specific rules that decide how "mature" or "adult" material is, and thus, how it must be treated. The most common ratings, which are what we will deal with here, are G for General Audiences, PG for Parental Guidance Suggested, PG-13 for Parents Strongly Cautioned, and R for Restricted, at which point a parent or guardian is required to be present in case they need to explain the more "adult" material in the film.

There are rules that strictly govern this system, like if you say the F word once, you get a PG-13 rating, but say it twice, or once in reference to the act, and you get an instant R; however, as demonstrated with this very rule, there are exceptions.
