Definition of Underage Sexual Activity

At last! A smile. It's all been worthwhile.

Yes, I got that you think so.

I laughed at your cute little game back on post #88.

I'm flattered that you can remember my posts. I can't.

Well you don't have to join in.

Those of us who have been here for several years see these questions regularly (you could set your watch by them, to be honest, except no-one wears watches anymore).

Some of us don't have a problem repeating ourselves for the newbies, while some people need to buy another record. It's just the way it is, you'll get used to it.

I sometimes repeat myself for the newbies as well, giving what I think is the correct answer. This is a privately owned business. What happens on depicting of underage sexual activity beyond here is irrelevant to the rules this website has the right and power to put into place. No one but the site submissions editor has any input into this. In addition, the submissions site editor just scans, not reads, the submissions and there is only one of her--this means that occasionally something she wouldn't normally let through evades her and gets posted. It also means that selection is based on a single person's perception of what is acceptable in a specific story given that person's perceptions on a given day, leaving a gray area that can't be defined just because a submitter wants it to be defined. Added to this, the submissions editor doesn't routinely respond to anything posted to the discussion board, whether she's reading it or not.

That, I think, is the correct response from users of the website who neither have access to the specific story nor access to or any influence over the submissions editor.

Those who ramble on about what the rest of the world allows in the publishing of works depicting underage sex activity just aren't getting that this is a private business that has no obligations to the rest of the world. When the question pops up, this is really the extent of a correct and useful answer that anyone but Laurel can give.

I see. You've misunderstood. The discussion is about what is permitted on this site, not what is permitted elsewhere.

If you find it tiresome, I'm surprised that you are one of the most prolific posters on the matter. What doesn't interest me I just pass over. This interests me, maybe others too.

But, as many times before, some posters have compared Lit's rules with normal publishing.


The rule is clear. the application can be erratic but Lit is far better than many other sites that do not have the rule.


Trying to evade the rule or to interpret it too exactly is likely to lead to rejection or a story being deleted if reported later.


Please try to respect the over 18 rule, and do not portray characters as being younger than you say they are.

I accept that the rule is clear:

'3. No sexual activity involving bestiality (you can write stories about supernatural beasts like ghosts, unicorns, werewolves, etc.) or underage persons will be considered. For the purposes of this site, the minimum legal age is 18. This site does not publish stories, articles, essays, or other material supporting, encouraging, or defending child abuse and/or exploitation.'

If it's not a supernatural beast it's bestiality. No sexual activity considering persons (which does not normally include non-persons) under the age of 18 will be considered.

But it's not hard to find, what are clearly schoolchildren, engaged in sexual activity.

I do not disagree with these rules nor seek to circumvent them, I deprecate such attempts, but many people do, and it is interesting to see how others do it

Well, I guess it's my turn in the barrel. I just got a chapter bounced for "underage sexual activity."

Of which there is none, of course. Nor are there any flashbacks, memories or references to underage sexual activity.

So, I've gone through and scrubbed the language - removed the word "boy" anywhere it occurs (one of the eighteen-year-old guys calls one of his eighteen-year-old friends "my boy Brandon" among other things), cut the use of the word "childhood" in one place (context - a reference to religious beliefs as "the faith of her childhood"), inserted explicit references to the ages of all of the characters at every referenced moment of their lives and a bunch of other rewording.

Most of this is just guessing. I had a character so comically obsessed with masturbation that they "almost flunked out of school before college." Gone. And so forth.

It's not a lot of work. Hopefully it goes through this time, given that there's nothing in the chapter that hasn't appeared repeatedly in the previous fifteen uploads that passed without a hitch.

I've got no complaint about rules against depicting underage sex, since I don't write stories that ever depict underage sex. I have no desire to "lawyer" uneven application of the rules, since as someone said the rule is easy to understand in its intent and IMHO there's no reason for anyone to object to it. It's just a nuisance not to have the problematic material identified explicitly in any way so that it can be rewritten and clarified directly and immediately, instead having to guess and possibly have to do this repeatedly.

It's really kind of humorous, though; our stories take place in a town where not only do underage folks not fool around or anything but there are apparently no inhabitants who are under age eighteen nor have there ever been. All these porn studs and sluts probably sprang full-grown from their parents' brows like Athena. LOL

Once in a while, somebody with a browser history full of Literotica stories is going to do something awful and newsworthy.

Such as this: https://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=1501706

What about a 12 year old space octopus; could that engage in sexual activity?

Ask Chloe, she's our resident tentacle expert.

This was a question open to all.

The guidelines refer to an underage 'person'. I don't believe a space or other octopus would be a person in the normal meaning of the word.

Peter Pan is more difficult. If a person, a fictitious person, is he underage? Is he by definition given to him always underage?

If there was a fictitious school where all the children were Peter Pans would the same rule apply?
