The only difference is in the YA versions, it's either fade-to-black, or wayyyyy toned down (kissing only) or the scene is just skipped entirely.

“but I do think it’s pretty cool that after the pandemic, people crawled out of the wreckage, looked around at the mess they’d made, and basically thought, You know what? The men had their chance. Let’s see how the women do for a while.”
Liz Shipton, Salt

“She looked around. “So when do I start?” “Tomorrow morning.” He frantically scoured his head for something he could give her to do. He didn’t actually have any fucking kids. Au Pair? Why the fuck had he even said that?”
Liz Shipton, May Baby

“Do all mortals hate it? Are none of them ever…relieved? Is it not sometimes the end of suffering? Do none of them welcome it like they welcome sleep at the end of a long day?”
Liz Shipton, May Baby

“The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. On those criteria Zaphod Beeblebrox is one of the most successful Presidents the Galaxy has ever had — he has already spent two of his ten presidential years in prison for fraud.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

“It's strange sometimes, you know, like I'm doing great. But when I'm alone, I'm with the person that tried to kill me. Sometimes I walk past a mirror, I'm like, 'Oh great, this fucking guy again. Jesus.' That is kind of a creepy feeling sometimes, but it's also a nice feeling. It gives me a strange kind of confidence sometimes. 'Cause, like, look, I... I used to care what everyone thought about me... so much. It was all I cared about. All I cared about was what other people thought of me. And I don't anymore. And I don't because I can honestly say: What is someone going to do to me that's worse than what I would do to myself? What, are you going to cancel John Mulaney? I'll kill him. I almost did.”
John Mulaney
