I'm writing a story (https://www.literotica.com/series/se/the-slave-queen-of-etherion) and at first I ran up against this site's strict 18+ restriction. I have no problem with that so far. The rules are the rules as far as I'm concerned.
However, before I write chapters which might run up against the rules, I thought that I'd ask for a bit of clarification.
My story is a fantasy, which includes different races/species who age differently. Some, like the elves, are functionally immortal and ageless after about thirty, but they mature slowly. If I was to feature sex with an 18-year-old elf in my stories (technically allowable by Literotica's rules), it would be the equivalent of sex involving a 12-year-old human.
Consider the following examples:
In Oath of Gold by Elizabeth Moon, Kieri Phelan's half-elf sister, the heir to the throne of Lyonya, was a half-elf, pressured by her human nobles when she was in her twenties to get married and have children. She attempted to do so, and died in childbirth... and later, the elves of Lyonya, when it was mentioned that her (also half-elf) brother Kieri was currently in his forties (getting old by human standards), said that "(She) would yet live had she waited until forty (to have children)"... so basically, despite this being "legal" sex by Literotica rules, this girl was pressured into underaged marriage and sex and died as a result.
Or, to use an example from more recent screen culture, consider Grogu from The Mandalorian Star Wars TV series. Grogu is a member of Yoda's Species (and Yoda lived to around nine-hundred years old), is canonically around fifty years old, yet is still a pre-verbal child. "Different species age differently" said the ughnaut Kuill. With Literotica's rules on 18+ only sex, Grogu would technically be fair game for an erotic fan-fiction.
I don't want to go to either of those places above. Just... No. I don't even want to read similar scenarios.
Conversely, consider other species/races. In my story, I have satyrs and fauns (respectively males and females of the same ungulate-legged, scimitar-horned humanoid race), who mature more quickly than humans. At the age of about 14, a satyr/faun would be considered to be an adult by their culture, legally allowed to do anything an adult can do (drink, smoke, fuck, go to war), and would be expected to move out of their parents' home and become independent. Still acting like a dependent minor at the age of 17 and some months? Sheer laziness! Even half-satyrs/fauns (like Xenia from my story) mature faster, and she was technically physically and legally mature at around 16... but not according to Literotica's moderator... so I tweaked things for the sake of not rocking the boat.
However, there are other races that live much more quickly... like fairies or pixies, six-inch-tall (winged in the case of fairies) humanoids (and other races) who, at the age of 18 months (1.5 years old), would be considered physically and legally adult, and who might only live to the age of around 80 months: less than seven years.
Other characters in my story may mature at a similar rate, being socially, emotionally, sexually and legally mature in their society at some age less than 18.
Consider the real-world example of Man's so-called Best Friend, Canis familiaris. The domestic dog. In the words of Oingo Boingo, in their song "No-one lives forever":
You think you got it rough?
What about your darling doggy?
Ten short years,
He's getting old and groggy.
While there have been living 18-year-old dogs, they would be geriatrics. Consider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aging_in_dogs.
So... featuring fully emotionally, socially and sexually mature members of such short-lived or fast-maturing races/species in a Literotica story is something that I do want to do... but the site rules would appear to forbid it. Technically, by Literotica rules, my fairies and pixies would have to be asexual, since they never live to the age of 18 years. A sentient but otherwise normal dog would have to be a geriatric to be featured.
So... how can I feature humanoid races or species that mature much more quickly than humans, and may or may not even live to the age of 18 years in my Literotica stories?
Then there's another case. Time passes differently in different places. On the worlds that my characters live, time passes 'normally'. However, in the faerie realms (Arcadia and Vaewolt), time can pass more or less quickly. Depending on... circumstances (basically authorial fiat), any amount of time spent in the faerie realms corresponds to any amount of time in the other realms. A year spent in Arcadia may be a day in Triagia, or a month in Vaewolt may be a decade in Etherion... basically whatever the story needs.
I'm considering having a character appear, whose parents went to Vaewolt from Etherion to live together three or four years previously, whose adult child shows up and claims to be in their twenties. Going by years lived in Vaewolt, this is true, but going by the time since their parents left Etherion, it has been less than five years.
How would that scenario go with Literotica's moderation rules?
