There are many who are still growing up. Is GNUS only intended for
adults? I don't think so. But still that sex topic included.
However, the text at the very end of the Top node of Texinfo manual is
even more offensive (for many):
Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good;
and when it is bad, it is better than nothing. —Dick Brandon
Why a few GNU manuals tend to be for adults?
