I say as long as it's on-topic and isn't just trying to be deliberately offensive, it should be allowed (see my answer to this question).

For a longer answer, what I'm saying is that there are good questions out there that some people may find offensive or may trip some filters, but to outright reject these questions can lead to a slippery slope. We don't want to turn away good, intelligent, honest folk just because they have questions we don't feel comfortable answering.

That said, I don't want this site to become a den of scum and villainy. We already get way too many 'Hey, what if I replace the Moon with whipped cream?' kinds of questions, and things like that are just as likely to turn away good users and attract bad ones as any NSFW question.

Thus, I think that we should be somewhat more critical of questions, especially those we feel are only asking to be entertaining, shocking, or outright offensive. We should endeavor to keep both our questions and our answers professional, no matter the subject. At the end of the day, if an 'adult' question has run the gauntlet and remained open and answered, then we'll know that anyone who sees it will either respect it for being intelligent, professional, objective, and well-thought-out, or not respect it because they're immature and/or ignorant. That second option really shouldn't describe our target audience, so it's a win-win.
