The results said \u201cNo results for \u2018<em>Call Me Maybe: Sexual Caresses at an Airport<\/em>.\u2019\u201d I knew what had happened. <strong>Amazon flagged my book as having adult content.<\/strong> I was heartbroken!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\u2019s true, there was a scene with some heavy petting and a brief sex scene, but I have to wonder how Amazon defines \u201cadult content.\u201d There are tons of books that can be found on the search engine which are much more taboo than mine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When I called Amazon to remove the restriction, the lady asked me if I had adult content in the story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I replied, \u201cIt has less sex than <em>The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo<\/em> and <em>The Bible<\/em>.\u201d I was being truthful.

Not much taboo there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">She said the restriction was placed there to prevent children from stumbling upon it. Okay, I get that.
