It is a pity not to be able to share it. However, such is the world we live in. It was my life and it was wrong but is it any worse than Lolita or similar books?
You should read it - it really is very good, and deserves its ranking as one of the great twentieth century novels. Stanley Kubrick had a ton of fun dodging the US censor when he filmed it, right at the end of the Hays Code. A scene or two of innuendo, with James Mason superb as Humbert Humbert, Shelley Winters as Charlotte Haze, who he marries so he can get close to Lolita (Sue Lyon). Peter Sellers is good too, as Quilty.As I understand it, there is no sex in Lolita. It's supposed to be an insightful and somewhat humorous look at the men who were infatuated with the girl. I haven't read the story, but I should. It was ranked as one of the fifty best novels of the 20th century (actually it's a novella).

Painting a girl's toe nails gets a whole new meaning.
Kubrick and Sellers went on to make Dr. Strangelove.

I knew before I wrote my post that it was not allowed in here. I have been a member of several forums over the last 15 years and all had the same rules so I never expected to publish here. I also acknowledged that it was wrong, which it was. But it happened and I was curious if others have had the same experience and if they wrote their stories or if they just buried the memory and never acted to record it for their own use.
When I said I was going to write it and lock it up that was my intention and still is.

The circumstances the OP described (before he took them down) were probably typical and not particularly astonishing for many teens, and a three year age gap no big deal. As Notwise notes, though, if you have any residual guilt decades on, that's your own morality at play. I for one wouldn't describe those circumstances as "wrong" - I actually thought them rather sweet. But not eighteen plus, which is the policy stance on Lit.As far as I'm concerned, it's only "wrong" if someone was victimized. In the case of your story, that would probably be you. If you felt victimized then it was wrong.
Yep, the OP inadvertently made it all seem worse than it actually was, when in reality it sounded like teenagers being teenagers. Just not Lit eighteen year olds on their birthday. Nothing to see here, folks!Well, that was odd.
From reading this thread I am left with a question: I am working on a sexual auto-biography. The reality is that I started masturbating when I was 13. Do I need to change that to 18? The only reason I wanted to comment on it is because I am recounting the trajectory of my sexual experiences in life and how one experiences leads to another. If I have to been 'history' for some social reason then a portion of what I am trying to comment on will not make sense.
But is that what I am going to need to do? Switch 13 to 18? It is so unrealistic to think that a girl doesn't discover masturbation until she is 18.
By the time I graduated from high school, I was well acquainted with liquor, with marijuana and with men.
You can state it as a one-liner, but if you detail the experience, it won't fly. Your autobiography on Lit will be very dry reading until you are eighteen. It's nothing to do with realism, it's all to do with a tightly policed site policy - Laurel's site, her rules.From reading this thread I am left with a question: I am working on a sexual auto-biography.
