I'm sorry. Wrong choice of word. I didn't mean "afraid" literally. I don't like excessive violence, either--I turn my head away in movies. I don't mind reading about it, depending. I avoid books and movies where females are imperiled and where people are tortured or women raped. I should have thought more carefully and chosen my words more carefully and said something like "if you don't mind." I know a lot of readers don't care to read books with vulgar or language or profanity, either, and so when I don't deem a book to be Adult-rated but it does contain sex or violence or profanity or vulgar language I so state in the long synopsis.
