Love Scene?

Hey Guys,
I'm writing a chapter involving the High School prom. It's really light hearted but I want to acknowledge the femal audience by having it a little bit of romance in there. I'm not going to describe the actual sex itself but I'm going to suggest it by having the character holding his girlfriend in bed. Nothing heavy but I want this to be a "Universal" book. I don't want it to alienate anybody. If anyone could help shed their light on this (especially parents) I'd appreciate it. I just figured it would be realistic to mention it. Thanks a lot

Eric

Now that's a loaded sentence! Acknowledge the female audience by putting them in a sex scene.

And calling sex on prom night romance? Are you sure it's not just a tradition inspired by adolescent hormones?

I don't think you'll offend anyone by mentioning a little sex on prom night, but I think this posting could be taken the wrong way.
