What I'd like to hear is of Apple publishing some guidelines for its reviewers to follow to ensure this kind of thing happens less often. Something like, if you have to confirm that you're over 17 to use it, it's OK for it to have nudity, sex, whatever's legal. Maybe they don't want to become purveyors of goatse apps, so reviewers should be allowed discretion to block non-mainstream fetishes, but men kissing men is hardly far enough from the mainstream to warrant banning.

I would say two naked person (no matter the gender) in sexual activities I think could be filled under "no porn" in Apple's TOS.

I agree. I guess if they rated this 17+ or whatever it might be OK but I actually found it offensively suggestive.

Title should end with "yet again". This is like a monthly thing now. Just put some rules in place and stop mucking around with the approval process.
