So this is a rule but in episode stories like Under You there are some sexual scenes implying they had or are going to have sex so im a little confused.

I want to add a minor sex scene in my story just like one second and im wondering if I could add it considering these rules?

No, don’t add it.
That’s still against the rule. Now I haven’t read the story, so I’m not sure what the author have in the sex scenes. Is it descriptive? Is it giving details that they are having sex? Or they are talking sex talk?

Just have your characters in bed kissing, with their pajamas or sleeping underwear and the blanket covering themselves, and move on from there.

The best rule of thumb is make it short, show no nudity and just imply with them kissing in bed and fade slowly. I would exclude any descriptive things because I’ve found Episode to be a very hypocritical app when it comes to guidelines-- yes there are Episode Originals that have scenes that definitely would get a Community Author’s story removed.
So, keep it minimal. I can understand wanting to add it-- but, be careful how you present the scene. They can decide it’s against the guidelines and either remove the story, tell you to change it or even ban you if they feel it’s too far past what they deem as inappropriate for the app.

I for sure saw implied sex scenes in popular stories, so I don’t even know why that rule exists.
Though I’d never want to see oral sex or gyrating bodies, haha, so I can see that being a good rule.
