Don't forget, Bulma was 16 years old at the time.

I think DBI meant, its okay to cut the sexual humor but that keeping the scenes where Roshi gets punched is great.

Exactly. I'd say also Roshi being flushed down the toilet should be kept, although problem is the rest of that scene would probably need to be retained to explain that.
