Morality Story problem

[Dingus Guy]

If a story has children in it and they suddenly are aged 10 or so years so they are adults, yet still have the innocence of children, would that be a form of pedophile?
It is a dilemma I have found within a story I was writing and now not sure whether to change the whole thing or not. Please tell me your views. Thank you.

Our views don't make a hoot in a holler, dude. Submit the story, and find out if the story meets the site's guidelines. What we think will not change that.

AS long as the participants are over 18, I think you are all right. Explaining a ten year lapse without any maturation is probably tricky, but if you can, go for it. Worst comes to worst it gets rejected and you have to improvise.

Yes, No, Maybe?

I think it depends on how you write it.

If you emphasize the true age and innocence, especially if you emphasize them as erotic ocmponents, then it's an "underage sex story" no matter how you physcally change the characters by aging them.

OTOH, if your emphasis is on the physical maturity as the erotic component, it's little different than writing a story about a mentally deficient character with child-like qualities.

Then again, many people will rant about "the ability to give true consent" however you write it while just as many others will praise your cleverness at circumventing the rules.

As a gimmick it sounds to me like something I'd need a VERY strong plot to support in an erotic story.

It's such a fine line and I don't want to get rejected for my efforts so I might as well choose a different route.
The premise was two 8 year old girls experiment with a witch spell and summon a demon, and the demon curses them for it and ages them until they are 20. Now any sexual encounter thereafter becomes a huge problem, so I will go another way.
Thanks for answering folks.

There is no explanation, it just IS !

Most of my friends have at least a ten year lapse in their maturation process.

That's wit, right there, VB!

And how many times we've seen it! They even get married, and their spouses are appalled to find they have to deal with tantrums and thumb-sucking!

I wouldn't submit it, personally. Too icky. Maybe find another way..

In one of my stories a man is recalling some horseplay with his older female cousins when he was 11 and they were 13. I make it clear that at the time there was no sexual connotation but he asks for it to be re-enacted (with another woman) as an adult because in his adult retrospective memory the incident has become a sexual turn-on.

I thought and think that I was going close to the limit on underage sex so I phrased it very carefully.

Thanks for all the input people. It is much appreciated. Now that I have changed the story it's taken on a new life of its own and not sure if I am going to finish it today as I had planned. Nevertheless, I hope the new idea is acceptable.

I am totally Bummed

I committed a lot of time in changing my story and making it politically correct. I found that I was able to triple the story from it's original 5,000 to a little short of 15,000 words. I wrote the biggest story I have ever submitted to Literotica, but in the end, it was rejected for having underage sex.
Not 1 sentence in the story I wrote involved pre-teen sex. In no way shape and form did I imply pre-teen sex. I took two 8 year olds and took them on an adventure. This adventure turned ugly and it ultimately affected their future.
10 years later at 18 years old, the mistake they made at 8 comes home in the way of a sex demon. There is nothing to lead you to this conclusion prior to this age. The only sex scene in the entire story is a dual masturbation scene that has strong lesbian overtones. That is it!
Yet, despite my explanation, my Halloween Contest Entry is no more and sits in pending mode for the 2nd time. Just waiting for the ax to fall once more. This has left me with a most bitter taste in my mouth and without desire to write.
Anyone else ever have this problem?
I was thinking of trying the Nanowrimo thing again, but now I just don't have the same desire.

Dingleberry: I'm sorry you've been so bummed over this, but for NaNo you can write whatever you want (unless you intend to post it to Lit.)

However, you must know we've had more than a few threads on this topic and in the end it's always Laurel's decision what gets rejected. I honestly don't see why anyone would bother trying to 'get by' and then be upset when it doesn't work. If you want to write about (or around/over/whatever) underage sex, for whatever reason, do it but don't be surprized if it doesn't get accepted. From what I've gleaned on this since I've been here it seems all an author does is set him or herself up for grief.

Thanks Perdita, but I think you misunderstood my last post. I thought the story was leaning towards being considered an underage story in my original post, but in the end I took the time and changed the entire story so it wasn't. In fact I changed it so much, I added 10,000 more words to the story and eliminated any doubt towards that claim.
I originally thought that if I took pre-teens and aged them unnaturally 10 years and they stayed mentally pre-teens then the story was in fact still pre-teen sex in an adult body. I changed the story, so the aging was natural, and the pre-teens actually became young women in the future part of the story 10 years later. There is no unnatural aging or anything even resembling mentioning sex until the end of the story when the only sex mentioned in the entire story is masturbation with 2 adults. The reason I am upset is that I made the story right, and I don't think it was rejected because the story was read. I think they saw the mere mention of children and it was rejected.
I haven't spent a load of time in the past few months reading up on the threads here, so I didn't know about any discussions related to rejection of stories. Thank you for taking the time and responding.

Whoa, just checked and my story was accepted the second time around. I had resubmitted it back on Sunday into the Halloween Contest, without any changes, just an explanation and they must have read it this time. Too bad its too late for the contest. Anyway, I feel much better now. Thanks Perdita for your response.

Given that hundreds if not thousands of stories have to be read I would guess that the first pending edit is a skim and could be rejected on impressions gleaned. Those that make it past the first and 'flagged' for scrutiny are possibly then read 'properly'.

Having the first half being about 8 year olds and then skimming to a sex scene towards the end will definitely give the impression of underage sex.

Maybe explanations in the 'notes' area would help.

All's well then, I'm glad. Hope you go ahead with NaNo. Best, P.

Thanks Perdita, I just might. Is there a thread to sign up yet or will it be kicked up after midnight on Nov. 1?

Go here, but you also need to officially sign up on the NaNo site (google it). Take care, P.

I am in, thanks Perdita. I didn't see your name this time around. You going to be in it? Perhaps another family oriented tale?

No, I have other projects (photography and other writing), just couldn't commit the time this year. Btw, I like your title. P.

Thanks, but it won't be the title, I was just fooling around. I have tossed a few ideas in my mind around, but still not sure which way I will go. I hope you come by the board from time to time to add your wisdom and wit to the thread. Good Luck with the Photography and other writing.
