Yes but that presumes that Felching (and many of the other hardcore 
terms glossed) is in the average 11 year olds knowledge base. I 
personally, don't believe it is. Sex? Absolutely! But obscure, not 
oft mentioned sexual kinks? 

Also, jkrowling.com is a site designed /for/ children. 
She /personally/ gave Immeritus the Fan Site award. My concern here 
is not just my children. Originally, I was not going to say anything 
about this. I imagined my daughter coming up and asking "Dad, do 
real people actually "Felch" each other? Seems gross to me!" That 
thought did /not/ propmt my past e-mails or these posts. What 
prompted me into action was this thought --

  "Jo Rowling Condones Hardcore Porn?"

splashed across the front page of the Guardian or the Sun or the 
Times.

But, the reason I have brought this up is to try to get a broad 
range of views, not just my own, I'm generally a knee-jerk liberal, 
so this sort of thing feels a bit awkward to me. I do appreciate the 
feedback I've gotten so far, and hope to get a bit more!
