Why, yes, I have.  & continue to do so regularly & frequently.  If, by
"explicit," you mean gutter slang, I have noticed that polite people
generally avoid such, but there are on-going discussions of all forms
of sexual behavior in many public forums in the US.  Media forums
range from The Journal of the American Psychological Association
through Psychology Today through Playboy & Penthouse through Hustler
through Screw through Gent, Adam, Gallery to stuff I refuse to even
know the name of.  Much of which is discouraged, but none of which is
banned.  Why would you want to mislead people by suggesting otherwise?
