    Will the use of expletives in my website bring about a drop in its rankings?

    I'm about to launch a static website dealing in movies on infidelity. So I'll have to incorporate certain words in the content that SEs might consider expletives e.g. s*x, f**k and the like.
    Well I'm relatively new to the SEO world, and don't know whether or not expletives or apparent swear words even affect the rankings. I'd really appreciate any kind of help. Thanks.

    It might. Moderate Safesearch is turned on by default and it could hit you

    Thanks a ton. At least I'll be able to use links then.
