Is there anything sexual in any of them? Beyond kissing? I know they're quite old in the later books. Is there any talk of nudity or adult relationships between the characters?

None at all. Remember, the series is J/YA and a rather youg YA at that. Love and is handled in a realistic (socially and emotionally) but innocent manner. Makes sense as you can see preteens starting the series and reading right through now that it is complete.

Question is: are you a worried parent thinking about whether or not you are going to allow your children to read them?
There is no sexual element whatsoever beyond kissing, you might be able to interpret something into everything, but these books are not about that.

sadly enough no. JK couldnt do that to the younger readers but read them anyways. They are good enough even without the more adult themes. She does mention some adult themes though that come through the book directly, one of them is Dumbledore being Gay which she just revealed a couple of days ago.

No, that was one of the appeals to the books. The innocence of them.
So for J. K. Rowling to all of a sudden announce Dumbledore is gay is ridiculous, irrelevant and insensitive.
What was the point of outing Dumbledore? A generation of children can care less about the sexual orientation of Hogwarts' headmaster.
It was bad enough that she took away so much of the innocence in the series when she killed off so many beloved and favorite characters in Book 7. Now she has just destroyed the series.

No, there's nothing in the books beyond kissing.

Nope. She knows her audience is children. She never comes out and talks about sex, drugs, or any of that. Dumbledore never does anything gay. It still is there, but it never is mentioned. :)
