Would a story get flagged if the character was reversed to a young age of 15-16 physically not mentally???
 
Are you planning on writing about Cronos, the father of time, from Piers Anthony? He aged backwards I believešŸ‘ šŸ‘ šŸ‘ Kant🌹
 
Stop the age reversal with the physicality of an eighteen year old - assuming mentally your character is older.

The Lit 18+ rule applies, no matter which direction you arrive at it.
 
How-2 maybe skirt the underage rule: the adolescent MC's body magically transforms into adulthood as in BIG, or they're comatose till they're 18, or their adult consciousness retreats to childhood while their body inexorably ages. Tales with these setups have survived here. But those are often sleazy approaches.
 
These threads are a hoot. I think that among Lit authors there's a fetish all its own for "ingenious ways to get around the under-18 limit." Seriously, people want to turn Benjamin Button into a porn story?
 
It's because the underage rule is relative to how some people look at it, but for Literotica it's a hard lined stance. Literotica doesn't want people to write stories about girls/boys with underdeveloped physical attributes and mental acuity when it comes sex and sexuality. It's a path that would lead to underage pornography and nobody normal would want to fantasize or read about that. But-y'know- the subject has been discussed to death here.

I think it has more to do with "protecting your arse"; with the differences being wide in the world, if the bar is set at 18, then there's isn't a legal system in the world that would seriously argue.
And it only takes one small group to complain. . . .
 
Y'know, with Anime sex shows, you'll get the disclaimer that says" No Minors Allowed. No one under the Age of 18 has been used in any portrayals or acts of sex... yadda yadda yadda." Then the show might be about high school girls getting sexed up.

So sure, the fictional characters might have a lifestyle that suggests maybe they aren't 18, but as long as you have a disclaimer or don't mention any ages, then it's all good.

Maybe that's the same here?

There's nothing illegal (yet) about writing and publishing underage stories. The Web site can have any reason it wants not to include underage stories, but the reasoning isn't one of legality. Rape and incest are illegal to do, but, like underage, not illegal to write and publish--and you'll find rape and incest on Literotica.

It's just a little bit more ambiguous than that. There was a case in Ohio 16 years ago where a guy pleaded guilty to writing and being in possession of underage stories.

The link is here: http://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/14/us/child-pornography-writer-gets-10-year-prison-term.html

BUT -- the case wasn't tested on appeal, so it's possible the on appeal the court would have found he had a First Amendment write to write and possess such materials. Plus, he was already had been convicted for having child porn photos, and he was on probation, so the facts were especially egregious in that case.

As far as I know, this issue hasn't been definitely ruled on by an appellate court in the United States.

My guess is that if a good case went on appeal the appellate courts would find that stories (which don't involve real, actual children) are protected by the First Amendment.

Still, there's some reason for people to be nervous in some jurisdictions. And there have been many cases of zealous prosecutors willing to push the bounds of what the First Amendment protects.
 
That's Ohio, not the nation, and, as you posted, hasn't been challenged (but could have been). Also, he was on probation. Who knows what the stipulations of that were? This is pretty much something that the public knowledge you were involved in it is much worse than the legal issues.
