Well, except for that other extremely apocryphal example, official writers haven't needed to be more specific about it. I mean, even in TMNT stories that do have sexual situations, there hasn't been any organic reason the audience has to be see mutant turtle bits. We've even seen mutant turtle intestines spilling out of an open wound (in Tales of Leonardo: Blind Sight), but we haven't seen bits. And since turtles are effectively naked in most versions anyway, and we know they do have bits but they are not visible most of the time, there would be almost no reason for bits to be revealed without an NC-17 reason. If anything, given the right circumstances, we're more likely to see it on characters like Splinter in the same way we saw it on the Triceraton at DARPA, but Splinter's unclothed scenes never went that far even in the more mature comics.
