Author question

I have to agree with Weird Harold... are you and I visiting the same internet?

By far one of the most popular themes on most sites is coming of age. While not 'childhood' the stories certainly delve into the cusp of sexual awareness and beyond.

Summer Camp by Nick Scipio is INSANELY popular but could never be posted on Lit.

My own 'The Wolf Summers' starts with the main character learning how to masturbate at age twelve. I've had to either edit my stories to lit rules or not post them a few here because I almost always play in the teen realm if I want to deal with certain themes.

It's right under the surface what writers are actually talking about more than just sex...

My best story 'Tales of X-23: AriaX' deals with using Fembots to help in the social, intellectual, and sexual growth of teenage boys, and my arguments against how our society deals with sex education is THEE theme of the story.

Like I said... we must be visiting different internets


Sincerely,
ElSol

No Lauren, I am not thinking that. Internet publishers barely want even an intellectual or psychoanalytical hint of childhood sexuality for fear of being attacked by the 2257 police.

Oh, you've talked to them all? They've told you this?

Why are Americans the internet police? Every country has their own stipulations on acceptable and unaccepted publication sex, why is sex on the Internet regulated by America?

We're not. The answer to your question is in WH's post, along with Liars last one.

Section 2257 only applies to "visual depictions" and to American users of the internet -- who just happen to be the most lucrative demographic for porn sites. It just makes simple business sense to announce that your site does not put your paying customers in danger of prosecution.

Nopes. As long as you, the company that hosts your site, or any of it's affiliates aint American, our local laws should dictate, AFAIK. On an erotic sites that includes sponsors (who won't buty ad space unless they know you're 'legit'). Many of which are American.

I'll abridge these statements. "We have the money, so we make the rules." You can post whatever you like on your Canadian site. You want our business, or you don't. It's that simple.

And, correct me if I'm wrong (and I should just do a search-- Damned laziness!), but isn't 2257 the law that takes the rules apllied to printed media and enforce them on the 'Net as well?

I have two poems up here, one in Erotic and the other in non-erotic poetry. I leave it to you to decide whether "Band Practice" is not erotic- but, because the teller was fifteen, I couldn't submit it as erotica.
