They don't want to have a sudden face full of porn in the middle of their novel

errr, I don't recall any instances of a "face full of porn" in any of the Stephen King, Neal Stephenson, or Fran Herbert books I've read....but then again, I've read quite a few "erotica" books/fics in my day (being an old person in their 30s), so I suppose my definition of "porn" might be a bit different than younger peoples? Hmm.

Also, my friends love to talk about who is "obviously fucking" who in these YA novels they love so much (they even brought up rape several times) so I don't think that this is an issue that they're concerned with when choosing YA over other books, though I can see why it might be something others would like about YA or Teen books, and if so that's great. No harm in that.
