Are there any guidelines for how to rate (porny) fic? Where do the lines go between PG-13, 15, R and NC-17? Any help or thoughts appreciated!

Oh and gacked from poshcat: a video of a baby hamster eating his first broccoli. The cuteness is overwhelming!

For me:

PG-13 = Romance, some kissing, relatively uncomplicated relationship issues, mild violence
PG-15 = Possible hints at sex, but always fade to black, slightly complicated issues, mild-to-moderate violence
R = Use of the word 'fuck' and equivalent language, frank discussion of non-explicit sex, complex, grown-up relationship issues, unflinching show of violence
X = Explicit sex, extremely coarse language, graphic or ultra-realistic violence

That one is very hard to pin down, isn't it? But thank you very much - this is extremely helpful.
