I was wondering if a more detailed description of what is considered obscene could be provided by the moderators. The reason I ask is that in one of my current RPs I have a character for which sex is both a natural part of a very deep friendship and a political weapon.
Just so there is no confusion on my part.
Perhaps examples could be provided as well.
Thank you.

The standard for both forums and game is the US movie rating "PG-13". Mild swearing may be tolerated, mild sexuality may be hinted, but explicit or excessive versions of either or both may result in proportional mod response.
That's from the One Stop Rules Shop. If you need more detail than that, you're probably too close to the edge.
The US Supreme Court has tried to define obscenity in the past, and there are tens of thousands of pages of legal argument and discussions about it. There still isn't a clear definition from them, and there won't be one from us either, for the same reasons.
"We know it when we see it" will have to do.
