Ah, THE question. Asked time and again through the ages. Answered in the past with such pithy remarks as cannot be repeated. Patience, dear writer. Patience.

No character can have sex in any Literotica story unless they are at least 18 years old. This is a rule fixed by the owners of the site. If you find a story that appears to break this rule - REPORT IT!

The only person who decides whether the rule is broken is Laurel. If in doubt whether your story breaks the rule send a PM (Private Message) to Laurel for advice.

There are known amplifications of this rule:

Past sex - if the character had sex before 18 it can be referred to but must NOT be described e.g. "Chloe lost her virginity at 16" could be acceptable as a bare statement. If you want something like that it would be advisable to mention it in the Notes Box when submitting.

Sci-Fi/Fantasy - before having consensual sex any non human creatures must be mature adults and preferably over 18 (human) years of age. Humanoids on another planet must be treated as human - no sex before 18. Androids/Robots created for sex must be created AS adults. They can be manufactured a day ago if they are described as a twenty/thirty year-old female/male.

Descriptions - no descriptions of bodily characteristics that imply immaturity. No number of statements that 'x is 18 (or older)' will work if x has 'budding breasts' or 'no pubic hair yet'.

School/College - No sexual activity can be described at educational establishments where the students would be expected to be under 18 years of age.

Sexual Games - Adults can play at dressing up as schoolgirl/schoolboy as long as it is made explicit that they ARE ADULTS with mature bodies.

Fan Fiction - If the fiction is about characters who are under 18 years old it probably breaks the rule.

All the above statements are my interpretation. They are subject to the statement made above:

The only person who decides whether the rule is broken is Laurel.

If you are still not sure - Ask Laurel!

pointless asking Laurel as she never replies to anything

Maybe you don't ask the right way. She replies to my PMs most of the time.
