Feedback sought - incest story theme, potential guideline conflict

[CPBaudelaire]

I have a question about a story that's in the editing phase right now. The theme is mother son incest, so if this is a problem for anyone, please read no further.



Here's the issue. I have a couple of set pieces which lay the groundwork for a developing relationship between a mother and her son, but while no _actual_ sexual contact occurs in the story before the son is 22, there are two scenes which set the tone for what does follow when the son is an adult.

1. The first scene is the son relating how he had his first orgasm, seeing his mom in her underwear at age 13. All visual, no touching and the mom is unaware.

2. In the second scene, the 16 year old dreams of his mother sneaking into his bedroom and fellating him. The lead in is deliberately somewhat ambiguous, but when the scene concludes, it is clearly and explicitly declared as a dream. To my mind, this one is potentially problematic, but difficult to get around in terms of the plot and character development.

Thanks in advance for advice and perspectives.

He can remember, but nothing else

Do this as a flashback, no mention of age. State the 22 early on and simply say "years ago" or even 8 years ago. The site does not "do math" or simply go with 'back when I was younger'. Avoid 13/16 at all costs and it will probably be okay.

Also keep those flashbacks fairly quick. I think you'll be okay I've read many stories here like that.

I never explicitly state the age of my protagonist in these passages. Age can be deduced from the timeline of the story, but that's it.

Having an orgasm at 13 while envisioning anyone in underwear is having sex at 13. Don't count on it passing Lit. underage muster.

Well you may have to leave the deduction vague when you do this. Any reason it has to be 13? I know that's the right age for it but....

Just start him out as an adult and say "I remember back years ago" its really your only shot.
