X-rated
Explicit beyond blue
X-rated describes content with explicit sexual material, originally from the film rating system that marked movies unsuitable for minors.
The rating has been replaced by NC-17, but X-rated persists in general use for anything sexually graphic: an X-rated website, X-rated jokes.
By extension, it can describe anything shockingly inappropriate: His language at the meeting was X-rated.
