The Difference Between R and PG-13.

Hi.

So, I've been meaning to write a new story, but I've been having trouble in deciding which rating should I put it as.

I have read the Mibba rating guidelines as well, and I must say that I still don't quite understand it.

Ok so, for PG-13, it says that: Some violence and gore permitted. Sexual innuendo, implied sexual relations [but never sex scenes however mild]. So if I were to include a little make out session, for example, do I rate it as R or keep it PG-13?

I mean, a story with a little make out session and where the characters sleep together (without sex) isn't necessarily restricted, is it? How mild is mild in PG-13 stories, or how sexual should my story be to be rated R?

Because to be honest I have read some R-rated stories that are still quite PG until like the seventh or eighth chapter, but I guess the R-rated scenes appear later on and I just didn't read it.

I don't know, can anybody help me?
