No.
But there is some risk that somebody gets offended by a good-faith
effort of communicating some idea. And if the listener is in bad faith
and looking for an excuse to be offended, then the risk rapidly goes up.

"Fear of hearing" is an interesting concept.
In any case, your imaginary person who wants to live in a censored world
can rest assured; she will not hear graphic presentations of sexual
techniques at the GHM, at least from me. I hereby solemnly promise not
to (intentionally) be an ass. Happy?
In practice I guess I'll behave more or less exactly like I would have
without the policy.
Best regards. For real, even if I still think you're wrong.
