Themmy said:The US Supreme ruled a couple of years ago that you can produce, poccess & view Virtual Reality / Computer Animation involving sex between those under the age of 18 . So this would ( should ) apply to written text also .
cloudy said:Not here. Doesn't matter what any court says. Laurel and Manu make the rules here and they say over 18. Sorry.

Why does the characters need to be under 18. Think about it. When age is an issue in the story. Re-think it a bit. Does the character have to be under 18. Do you really have to state the age of the character. If you left it completely out would it matter?

To say the character is actually 18 instead of say... 15 or 16 isn't a problem. But I was wondering if I could just allude to the fact that she is a young teenager?
Also, what about characters that are under 18 but aren't involved in sex?
I've always found age to be an odd point to make the decision to either accept or reject a story. There are whole sections on here devoted to other illegal acts like rape, incest, and murder. Compared to those topics, a little consentual statutory rape seems pretty tame.
I guess most of this comes from the old saying, "write what you know." Well, i'm a 22 year old college guy, and one of the things I know about is being young. I have no freaking clue what it's like when a married couple gets in bed, aside from a few disurbing memories of my parent's bed squeeking on the floor above my room on sunday afternoon.
But, I do know what it's like to be at a party and getting all worked up over a girl, only to find out she's jailbait. And that's the main theme of most of my stories, internal conflict.
For me, there's not a lot of erotisim in a 30 year old man banging an 18 year old girl. That's something that he'd brag to his buddies about for years. But take that same guy, and make the girl a couple years younger, and you have a whole different story.
But then again, WTF do I know?![]()
emap said:Yes alluding to it is out, but I guess you can say certain things that suggest her being young, without actually saying it, take for instance
"I don't have a drivers license"
"Still?"
"I don't have the money for a car and my parents don't either, so no point to it really, we only have one car."
What age does that suggest to you? You can be ageless and young at the same time, without having to worry about putting an age in.
Heck if you do it right you can suggest a girl as young as like 12, I can manage to make it sound like a 12 year old without suggesting it really, but I won't since I find the whole idea disgusting.
It can be a problem. I needed a character to be under 21 in one scene, so she went to jail instead of the electric chair. Then she had lots of experience in sex, drugs, etc, to get to the point of murdering someone and then there was the time to come to trial, so it meant she crammed an awful lot into just over a year, instead of starting at 15 like real life. I dumped the whole thing in the end.marshalt said:I was wondering if (on literotica) if you have to mention ages.

One of my stories has a new-born baby girl in it, as a pivotal character, but no trace of paedophilia and they were OK with that. Another had a nine-year-old making suggestions ("Now you're rich you should get a butler.") which helped the story line and that was also OK, and you can guess what the butler got up to, because that story isn't on here any more.marshalt said:...
