Stories about High School Teenagers

[TxRad]

I just finished reading a series in which the main male character is a high school student and it isn't until the 5th of 7 parts that he turns 18. Also in the story are his 2 sisters the youngest of whom is 15. The boy is very sexually active with women and girls, students and non-students of varying ages. So too are both of the sisters.

I have noticed that some authors post a header or disclaimer at the beginning of their stories declaring that all participants in sexual activity are at least 18 years of age. This one did not.

So, how hard and fast is this rule? Or is it merely a guideline?

This story is obviously something Laurel missed. Use the report function beside the story and state what you read. Laurel can take it from there.

It's a tough one. In Australia the age of consent in all states is sixteen. Students at high school can be almost nineteen.

Not quite; it's 17 in SA and Tasmania, and for Queensland it's either 16 or 18 depending on what you're doing.

So... I'll come right out and say it. I think plots involving older teenagers ( 16 on up) can be really hot if written correctly. I think virgin stories can get the blood pumping just as well, but I'm realistic in knowing those kinds of character are probably going to be young and in high school. And yes, stories generally centering around school (Students and teachers for instance) can be pretty intense.

That said I'm currently writing a fiction that's basically going to be about a senior in high school trying to seduce her friend's dad. Age difference is one major reason why I want the male character to resist his attraction to her flirtatious advances. However, I know these kinds of plot lines are generally rejected on Literotica. So,I just want to know how I could get the story published on here or what people may recommend.

Thanks in advance.

The short answer to your query is no, unless that high school senior is Eighteen.

IMO, authors shouldn't limit their creativity to an arbitrary age of consent which varies in different countries. I'm not asking you to stop writing what you want but you should, at the very least, respect the guidelines of this place.

Instead of wasting your time and trying to get around Lit guidelines, find other websites which allow such stories.

PILOT is correct. High school is underage...period.

The local age of consent is irrelevant. Lit's rule is clear. No sexual activity is to be described if the participant is under 18 years of age. No sexual activity is to be described if the participant appears to be immature.

In the UK the age of consent is 16. One of my cousins married on her 16th birthday. No. She wasn't pregnant or even worried she might be pregnant. She had her parents consent. Recently they celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary surrounded by children and grandchildren.

But I can't write about her honeymoon and post it on Literotica.

A local man moved to the US with his wife. He had been a police sergeant here and was appointed to a police role in the US. He had a small problem. He had married in the UK when his bride was a few months past her sixteenth birthday. Their first child arrived ten months later. By the age of consent rules of the state in which he wanted to work that child was born as the result of sex before the age of consent. He had to have a formal pardon from the State's Governor before he could be a police person in the US.

Again, I can't write about their early married life and post it on Literotica.

I can post in elsewhere, and in the UK the story wouldn't cause any concern at all.

BUT this is Literotica and it is Lit's rule that I can't post it here.

That's a judgmental generalization. Of course there are plenty of writers trying to skirt the rules, and there are plenty of readers seeking out those stories. And there always will be. But not all stories set in high school are attempts to create underage characters disguised as eighteen-year-olds.

I set my series in high school, because it's (loosely) based on my own high school experience. My characters are eighteen and don't look or act like anything less. I didn't write it this way in order to attract the type of reader you described. I did it because it was an integral part of the story.

As others have said--eighteen is the only rule that was set. You can find it repugnant all you like.

You tell em Lux.

I'm with you on this one. And I'm a little surprised at sr71plt, et al. His sexuality only got legitimized in the US during the last 20 years and there's still people who are not down with it. Having him bash someone for writing within the rules and about an activity that's way more mainstream than his own is - 50% vs 5% or so - just seems weirdly out of place. I'd call kinkshaming, but two 18 year olds in a bedroom is something over half the US's population has experienced. It's not even a kink. It's normal human bevaviour.

This makes me want to write a story about someone in high school- heck, maybe I'll have her held back a grade, so she can be a Junior at 18 - just to see if people start frothing in comments.

You and others seem to have missed (purposely?) that I'm not bashing writing underage stories. I'm bashing pretending you aren't using "high school" as a code for underage.

That underage (under 18) sex isn't permitted at this site is a separate matter, is within the rights of the site to impose, and is clear--although there seems to be a purposeful attempt by many not to understand/accept that, as well.

I always get a kick out of the "High school settings are a no-no" threads.

A simple story tag search using "high school" (and deducting for "reunion") returns page after page after page of results. Obviously, the definitive answer to the question is: Yes, Laurel permits high school settings and characters to be used in stories (and titles too) here at Lit. We as authors are just required to follow a simple "Thou shalt not" rule of any explicit depictions of sexual activity involving under eighteen characters. I've done it successfully. Hundreds of other authors have also.

What I find truly hilarious is the idea that characters who have already graduated or are college freshman are instantly presumed to be over eighteen, yet everyone who is still in high school somehow is automatically under that age.

There's nothing wrong with coming-of-age stories that begin or are set in a high school venue. Just follow the one basic rule and ignore the naysayers. Laurel is a smart cookie with plenty of experience at catching the "skirt the rules" stories. Don't cross that line and she's fine with it.

Speak for yourself, dude.

I think this is another example of your tendency to project onto others what you know (or fear) to be true of yourself.

If PILOT can't write Incest with thinking of "pedophile sex," then clearly this holds true for all Incest writers.

If PILOT can't write a high school story without reverting back to jailbait pulp fiction of the 1960s, then no one can.

This is the only answer you need. Don't let anyone tell you that you're not permitted to write such a story or feature it on this site. A high school setting (permitted) and underage sex (not permitted) are simply not the same thing.

You aren't real bright so you miss PILOTs point.

Another dummy.

 

[sr71plt]

I'll give them the probability that they do understand my point but don't want to face it or own up to it so they act like I haven't made the point.

 

[TamLin01]

You can call it whatever you like. I'm not going to police your critical opinion. The question here was whether a high school setting is permissible under the site's content policies, and the answer, unambiguously and resoundingly, is yes. Case closed.

Are Catholic school girl uniforms okay, too?

The OP posted yesterday that the OP "got" the point--that to explore the age difference, which is what the OP said was wanted, it doesn't have to be a senior in high school, with reality being that "high school" is code for underage. There is nothing in what the OP wanted to do that can't be accomplished by the young woman being of junior college age and even in the same type of home environment that she would be in as a high school student. The need to use high school is nothing more than the priority need to play the underage card--not the age difference theme.

I haven't been discussing the superficial "can it be posted to Literotica?" question. I've been questioning underlying intent and games.

And your defensiveness about having that brought up tells me loads.

 

[Bramblethorn]

The local age of consent is irrelevant. Lit's rule is clear. No sexual activity is to be described if the participant is under 18 years of age. No sexual activity is to be described if the participant appears to be immature.

Oh, agreed. I was just commenting on a side point there, not on the Literotica rule.

The third reply to this author's question told him "If you really want to write about High School Teenagers then Literotica isn't the place to post those stories. They will always be close to breaking Lit's rule."

But this is simply not true. I don't think it's defensive to point that out. You can judge those stories however you like. I don't mind. But nobody should be telling anyone that they can't write it when that's not the case. End of story.

 

[OmnislashXX]

Wow. I originally posted to just get some advice on the matter and where I should really go with my intended plot line. I didn't expect to get bombarded by accusations of being a single minded artist or slammed for my preferences on plotlines, characters and what have you. I just wanted to see what people thought I should do.

But oh man, the hypocrisy. Go out and buy a hentai or hit up Fakku and tell me those characters aren't in high school or underaged. You just can't tell me people don't think like me and believe those settings and those kinds of characters can be hot.

I wasn't trying to skirt the rules of Literotica, I just wanted to know how I should use these characters to get the best story.

I've already written the first chapter anyway.

 

[TamLin01]

Try not to mind it. Any porn you make will offend someone, somewhere. Write what you like, find the audience and the venue it's suited for, consider the critical comments as they come, but always write the story that seems best to you (because trying to write for anyone else will just turn out terrible anyway).

Good luck.

I said "always will be close to breaking Lit's rule". I stand by that. I didn't say you can't write them. I said Lit isn't the place to post them. In the UK I could legally write and post about sex between 16 year olds, even married 16 year olds. But I wouldn't attempt to post them on Literotica.

If you are writing about High School teenagers then they are barely 18 in most cases. If those are the stories you WANT to write then there are other sites that are more tolerant of High School stories.

The question really is WHY does it have to be at a High School? First time? Why not in another situation? The vacation after leaving High School for example.

It's the same question over and over again. How close can I come to writing about teenage sex? Lit's rule is not before 18. Putting the characters in a High School even if the author says they are 18 is close to the limit. If they behave like school pupils, even the statement 'they are over 18' won't be acceptable to Laurel and her decision on her site is final.

I'm not the author of the third reply, so your indexing me to it is both irrelevant and disingenuous.

Yes, my post #16 said that I thought posters should stop going after you on this.
