Minimum age for story...

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?
Chat to me and we can enjoy a story

There was a 16 year old based story that actually made it through about a week ago. I was a bit shocked and surprised, and briefly thought about reporting it, but it was well written and a romance story, so I let it be. It was getting positive review, so apparently nobody else had a problem with it, though I can't find it now, so it may have been pulled

You seem fun. One time I woke up during a sleep over with a very hard boner laying on my back and I deliberately made it visible while I pretended to sleep as my buddies mom came in the room to shut off the TV. I remembered the remote was laying next to me so I placed it by my stomach so that she would notice my boner if she reached for the remote. When she reached down to pick it up, I turned to the side so it would rub against her hand. When she froze up realizing the situation I told her I couldn't sleep. I told her that my penis had been stiff for several hours and was starting to hurt. She then left the room for a second and when she came back, she had a large pair of silky, black pair of bikini panties in her hand. Kneeling down, I was stunned as she pulled my boner from my white cotton briefs and started brushing her panties up and down the length of my shaft. She then wrapped them completely over the head of my cock and around my entire dick. Like a pro, she grasped the base of my dick and pulled firmly down on my foreskin and held it there. She then cupped my balls in the whispy material of her panties and told me to relax and let it feel.good. suddenly I started to breathe really.hard. her soft motherly hand expertly stroked my dick with her soft panties wrapped around it and I felt almost as if I had a condom on as I started getting close. As she continued, a section of her underwear started brushing against my butt hole. I instantly exploded. She reminded me it was ok to let my penis squirt as her panties would catch all of my semen.

If it slides, it flies, is what I say. I ain't reporting nothing. Hell, Lush's age minimum is 14.

She ain't been here since 2022, bruh. And you're that proud over a handjob?

I once wrote and submitted an account of losing my virginity. The editors rejected it because in the account I was under the age of 18. I assume things have not changed.

Lush's minimum age is 16. I started posting (adult) stories there last month and had to familiarize myself with the guidelines.

If you want an OMG moment, while researching possible Lit alternatives I stumble on one site (which I'm not going to advertise for) which had a minimum age of 10 or under ten provided the other person was not double their numerical age. At which point you have to wonder why they even had rules.
 
No. As you probably already know, 18 years old is the minimum age here on Literotica.
More importantly, it is the legal age in most places around the world. There are countries out there, where even written erotica involving underage subjects can get you in trouble. (or the site you are publishing on)

Not really. There are far more places where it's lower than it's 18 or higher. But the rules are the rules and yes, writing porn can get you in all kinds of trouble in all kinds of places.

I live in one of those "14" countries, but I can tell you that over here, 14 is the minimum legal age for consensual sex. So if you have sex with a minor AND you can prove, that it was consensual AND his/her parents do not just kill you and bury you somewhere far, THEN you only get branded a pedophile by society and not get prosecuted legally.

That however says nothing about involving underage kids in adult material. It is still considered pedophilia by law to own, produce or distribute materials involving the sexual exploitation of kids under the age of 18.

Plenty of places in the US have 16 as the age of consent. But the legal age doesn't really matter, as it's Lit's prerogative to set their limit where they want.

Okay, maybe we're talking at cross purposes. I was talking about legal age of consent and you may be talking about legal age to appear in pornography (and maybe fiction).

But even then it's not cut and dried. Many countries ban drawings of fictionalized minors but don't regulate erotic literature. Some ban erotic stories but make exceptions for works with 'literary merit'. Even when there are bans in place, the age isn't universally agreed on.

Literotica's policy is sensible in that 18 only will make the stories legal pretty much everywhere that doesn't outright ban pornography, but it's still not a 'most of the world' thing.
 
The answers are thorough, so I'll just add a bit from my own experience as a relatively new Lit writer.

Laurel uses a bot that red-flags certain words. I think "teenager" is one of them. When words are red-flagged, the passages are reviewed by human eyes, but I still go and check already-published stories to see what's allowed and what isn't in the context of sexual activity.
How do you know this? I'm not doubting you. I'm just curious as to how some members here know stuff like this.

A long memory of posts in threads and a bit of applied common sense, as the reported submission issues have changed over time, plus speculation.

Text screening is an obvious one, based on people saying, my story got rejected for an under-age breach. "What's the context? " "Sixteen Maxbridge Street." That could do it.

Rules based on reality, sorta. 14/16, close enough
