There was that one time in the movie where Ron envisioned Harry banging Hermione because it was his fear.

Sex in Harry Potter?
|
They weren't banging, just kissing. The book described it as just a kiss, too.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Cracked, the inestimable Ruiner of Everything, did an article on this a few years back.
WARNING: Much depravity/ruined childhoods ahead... http://www.cracked.com/article_19397_the...otter.html ![[Image: rySLj1k.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i.imgur.com%2FrySLj1k.png) If you have any serious concerns, are being harassed, or just need someone to talk to, feel free to contact me via PM 
If your novel is for young adults, I would avoid detailed sexual depictions. If it's for adult readers, and simply has a child the main protagonist, maybe? If it's not narrated from the child's POV, it should be okay.
The more illicit the sexual details, the shorter the overall length of the depiction/scene should be, is a good rule of thumb to follow if you don't want to that part of story to come off as pornographic.

I've taken your advice and replaced explicit references to body parts with more or less subtle allusions. Cracked might still have something to say about some things and it's still not Judy Bloom, but it was never meant to be.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Judy Blume addresses issues of normal adolescent sexual behavior in a few of her books. Ever read Deenie, orThen Again, Maybe I Won't? I read both of them as a pre-teen. She explores masturbation and nocturnal emissions, briefly, but with quite a bit of detail. It seemed that it's purpose was to give realism and be informative though, not just gratuitous sensationalism. Still, it was kind of controversial at the time.

In this novel, I don't just discuss sex as an issue. People are actually doing things, But no, I did not want it to come across as pornographic or even erotica. so you helped me a lot. Thanks.

Sex is fun

Aside from the cracked article, there are some allusions to sexual maturity in the books like when Harry polishes his wand in Goblet of Fire and sparks shoot out the end...
But sex is never explicitly dealt with even tho there would definitely be hanky panky going on in that school.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
