The Bible avoids graphic descriptions of sexual sins. Re-read Song of Solomon, Ezekiel 23, and Hosea, and tell me that those aren't "graphic."

I have read the Bible passages you cited. They are tasteful.
And, by the way, Song of Solomon is not describing sexual sin.
We are aware of many egregious offenses in the Bible - cannibalism, necrophilia, sodomy, murder, disrespect for authority - which are described adequately to know what they are, but not in a way to make them appealing.
The notes added to this per-version of the Bible are not, and stray from the Biblical command to guard our thoughts.
Phil.4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
jude24, you should read Jude 4-8.
God has a severe warning about people like these Bible peddlers.
