Let's face it: where there's a lliw, there's always a yaw.

Only according to the original timeline... In chapter 13, at 43 years of age, he travels back in time... Resulting in his oldest daughter-- Enaj's half sister-- being older than he is... Enaj, of course, being conceived in his sixth trip back in time...No. That won't fly. His daughter was born when he was 13!
Mentioning that a character had sex before 18 is allowed; my first story had some kind of "Grandma got pregnant at sixteen", and Laurel was fine with that.There is a popular story on Literotica involving predominantly high school kids. At the beginning of each chapter, the author notes that all people involved in sex are over 18. This is feasible if all of the characters were seniors who all turned eighteen before the first day of school, but there are several references in the story to characters having had sex the previous year or earlier.
The female MC even describes her first-time sexual experience the previous year, how uncomfortable it was, and her fear that it will influence her future relationships. While her age at the time of her first experience isn't mentioned, it is certainly inferred that she was younger than she is now (18), yet Laurel let it slide.
or when. . . .18 is the limit. No matter what
The female MC's description was pretty graphic, but since someone would have to do the math to figure out her age at the time...Mentioning that a character had sex before 18 is allowed; my first story had some kind of "Grandma got pregnant at sixteen", and Laurel was fine with that.
Graphic description of under-18 sex is not, but if the age is only indicated indirectly, that might have been missed in moderation. If somebody reports that kind of things and points to the relevant passages, it'd probably get taken down.
Polls show that most people have pretty bad math skills.The female MC's description was pretty graphic, but since someone would have to do the math to figure out her age at the time...
I had trouble with one of my stories Earth to Earth. The plotline included a couple having to leave a conservative Welsh Village because the wife had a baby several months earlier than 9 months after the wedding. I had linked the story to historical events and in the first draft I worked out that to fit with other events the wife must have been 13 at the time when I had intended 19. Perhaps readers might not have had the math to work that out but I felt I couldn't submit it with that anomaly.Polls show that most people have pretty bad math skills.
One said that 57% of people couldn't consistently perform basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
57%... that's almost half!

Anything below the number 18 is off limits. Just change the age to "Sweet 18" and go with the story. Even if a girl might be a grandmother at that period of history.I hope I'm posting in the right place....
I have a story I have written/started that takes place in the 1800's (pre-civil war time). The story involves a girl who is ALMOST 16.... I know Lit has rules about posting about minors, but during this time, the age of consent was younger than 16. Would I be allowed to share a story of a 15.75 year old girl in a sexual situation? I could easily change it to make her 16 at the time, but then that would mean changing her "Sweet 16" party later to a "Sweet 17". I had a friend in the UK who insisted he would not read it unless I made her 16.... Thoughts?
But this isn't network TV, Cable TV, or movies. This is Literotica, and it is owned by people that have banned underage sex stories. And no amount of complaining has ever made a difference with the rule.While I understand the guidelines and the reason behind them it still bothers me since there is so much sexual activity between minors and between minors and adults in popular tv, movies and media. One mainstream tv show stands out, Law and Order SVU.
Like I said I understand why the restrictions exist. I was just pointing out that underage themes are very prevalent in mainstream entertainment.But this isn't network TV, Cable TV, or movies.

It is Lit's rule, about the only one they try to enforce.While I understand the guidelines and the reason behind them it still bothers me since there is so much sexual activity between minors and between minors and adults in popular tv, movies and media. One mainstream tv show stands out, Law and Order SVU.
I accept the 'no under age 18' rule but it does throw up two anomalies:
1. In Literotica land, no-one under the age of 18 has ever experimented, had sex or even kissed another person.
2. Why is the mention of such an occurrence taboo, yet probably 75% of the stories on the site involve incest? It seems odd that mentioning two seventeen-years-olds kissing is viewed as a heinous crime, whereas a father having sex with his daughter is deemed perfectly okay.

For bourbon and other whiskeys, or whisky's, the inside of the oak barrel is charred, which gives a smokey flavor and other hints while reducing or eliminating astringency. At least that's what a shinner told me. Quality, aged shine can be purchased at reasonable prices in Southeastern Oklahoma, better than Tennessee's or Kentucky's finest. We also have legitimate wine production in the state, go Sooners (do better next year).Well, if the entire lot is aged in new American oak barrels it gets that way, especially if you’re talking white wine.
I worked in a Napa Valley cellar for several years where we blended lots from different barrels to avoid the astringency of new American oak. Sauvignon Blanc got it the worst and it was much less of an issue with the French oak, but more importantly to the topic of this thread - the problem went away once the barrels themselves were properly aged.![]()
They can have had sexual activity as long as it's not described in any detail and couldn't be construed as erotic.I addressed this in one of my stories. Just because our characters can't have any described sexual activity until they're 18+, doesn't mean they don't know the mechanics -- as indeed, any young person worth his or her salt will know.
As one of my female leads said, "[We] had The Talk in fifth grade, and took biology in ninth."

Flipping the order of your question.
The very simple answer is that child pornography is a very serious problem on the Internet, one that many government and non-governmental organizations, newspapers, hosting services, credit-card companies and such like take a very keen interest in. Whatever the free speech issues involved, those who run Literotica have decided that they don't want to be found anywhere within a hundred miles of being associated with this issue.
