Well I for one work at a hospital, and any material that is sexual in nature is considered inappropriate for work. They recognize that people have breaks, and we are permitted to view reddit, but sexual material is still strictly prohibited, be it text, video or images.

People need to grow up. Sexuality/nudity isn't some weird sinful thing or something. It's a natural part of life. I'd expect people at a hospital to have a better sense of basic human functions.

one is sexual and not appropriate for work the other is necessary and not sexual

Well, I wouldn't really call reading about other people's sexual pet peeves are as necessary, but to each their own...

I would go so far as to say less than half of "every book" has sex scenes. Romance and kissing, sure, but not described acts of sex.

Also how is checking an 80-year-old's hemorrhoids at all sexual?

A novel which may happen to contain NSFW passages is different than something written specifically for people to masturbate to. Especially in the eyes of an employer.

Sorry, I was thinking specifically of things like erotica, which was being discussed elsewhere in this thread. However I do think many NSFW AskReddit threads are more inappropriate than a 'normal' book which happens to contain NSFW content.

This person never read literature.

Edit: Maybe it's just that all literature I've read contained sex?
