Those under 30 need not apply...

To repeat what others have posted, there is no policy here about college-age students (who are at least 18 and if no issue is made about it any character identified as a college student will be taken as at least 18). I have literally hundreds of such stories here--and as many about 18-year-olds having sex. None of my submissions include disclaimers about this slapped on top of them; I consider that defensive. All of them are posted as originally written (a few had to be challenged as not underage, but they all were successfully challenged). Also to repeat, the laws on what is underage here or there or anywhere have no relevance to story acceptance at Literotica. Wrong tree, wrong bark on both issues, no matter how many times folks post about either.

Maybe it's a part of life that is only interesting to me. But to me it's where people are out on their own for the first time and they have to make their own decisions. They don't have to do what their parents, grandparents, or minister want them to do. If they don't like a professor they can just drop the class after five minutes. They have the ability to make their own decisions. But they do have to face the consequences of their decisions.

I get this, and I think we all do - everyone wants to celebrate their coming of age. At Lit, though, your sexual life starts at eighteen and you simply can't allude to any sexuality before then.

My guess (and it's only a guess) is that your content is either mentioning sexual thoughts at a younger age, or you are inadvertently writing "young" sounding characters because you are young (i'm guessing you're just out of high school, just started going to university?).

So, the trick here is to read your content very closely, scrub through your words, and remove any allusion to teenagers having sex. Remember, at Lit, sex begins at eighteen. Imagine yourself jumping off a cliff - here at Lit you learn to fly as you're falling.

Ignore those who just want to trash the site with their "advice". You want to publish on Lit, so to do so, you need to take guidance from those that have figured it out (the huge majority) - it's not hard, we've all done it, so can you.

Good luck - and scrub through your words. You can do this .

That is the opposite of what I am seeking to do...

OTOH: This site has a whole series where the "18 and over high school" has officially set up a room where daughters can nurse on their father's cocks at lunchtime. (I found it googling "Literotica high school senior")

Yes, sorry, we're having to stab in the dark a bit about what the issue is.

Personally I'd think that the whole 18 yo but still in high school stuff shouldn't be allowed (or even 20 and still in HS because of resitting a year, illness delaying start etc) because it's too nudge,nudge for my comfort. That said I wasn't aware of that particular series.

And I don't have a problem playing by the rules. As originally submitted there was ZERO mentioning of having sex, or thinking about having sex in high school. (Even though there are 459,975,785,654 stories here where high school students have sex.) At the suggestion of a couple readers passages about high school (in dialog between college students) were "scrubbed" even more where boyfriends and girlfriends just became friends. (Everyone going bowling in tuxes and gowns after prom for instance.)

There was only one "true flashback" and it was only in one of the stories.

It was about how really uncomfortable a coach was giving the school board mandated "chastity pledge" talk. I specifically repeated the idiocy (of my high school) having each student take the "sex-ed class that didn't mention the word sex" the first Monday of the month after they turned 18. (Coach basically said "don't;" the students said "what?" Coach said "you know..." One student said, "no, what?" Coach said, "we aren't allowed to tell you. If you don't know, then you won't do it." Another student said, "what?" Coach said, "exactly, sign these." Another student said, "how can we read them, a lot of the words are 'blacked-out'?" Coach said, "look, just sign somebody's name on the dotted line-- I really don't care whose name."

My "note" pointed out that the school only gave this "class" to 18 year olds.

"My guess (and it's only a guess) is that your content is either mentioning sexual thoughts at a younger age, or you are inadvertently writing "young" sounding characters because you are young (i'm guessing you're just out of high school, just started going to university?)."

I'm finishing my first year in a month. So I'm sure that I "sound VERY young" to people who have run this site and posted stories on it for 24 years. But when you are 40 or 50 "young" =/= under 18, 24 is "young."

There is another one where every character is very dim witted and all the characters are high school students... Seniors... Fourth year seniors, fifth-year seniors, sixth-year seniors, and seventh-year seniors.

Personally, that doesn't bother me. I just assume that the big issue about "18" is all the uproar that could be created by the delusional "anti-everything" masses who fervently believe high school students do not engage in sexual activity and honor the pledge card they were forced to sign... (I signed my principal's name, and added the words "or thereafter" following "marriage.")

And I don't have a problem playing by the rules.

And yet you just keep on keeping on about the issue. That's a major problem when this comes up--clinging to a discussion that is repeatedly pointed out as irrelevant to posting stories at Literotica.

It's got nothing to do with any of that.

Eighteen is the age threshold chosen by Lit management as a cut-off point for portraying sexual activity on this site, so they don't come foul of any law or accusation that they host under-age pornography. I doubt they give a toss about any moral positions such as those you mention; it's all about protecting their ass, to show that Lit is an adult web site, catering to adults.
