Explicit music

When I’m playing music and then my playlist ends and then Apple Music starts playing similar recommended music, why is this music never the explicit songs? It always bleeps out swear words and is really annoying. In other words - when Apple Music plays recommended songs ( i.e , I don’t choose the song, it comes on automatically and is not in my library) then the song is never the explicit version. How do I fix this please

iPhone 6, iOS 11
