Underage Stories

9 Apr 2008

Just a quick note as we've had to delete several stories of late breaking our site guidelines.

Please read our terms before submitting any stories. Authors who break them will be banned from our site indefinitely. If you are lucky, you will get a warning, depending on the nature of the breach and my mood at the time.

Thanks for your attention.

I know you have to have rules, but why the underage rule. I've read stories on the this site that the boy is 15 or 16 and that he is doing his mother and his sister which might be a year or to older them him. The daughter is 14 and she is has been having sex with her father and mother the last 6 months. These stories are all fiction, so whats the big deal.

The "big deal" is I don't want to invite unnecessary problems to my site. Why would I want to even flirt with the authorities over such an issue?

Writing about may not be illegal, but is. The same goes for stories. I don't want to have my site associated with either.

Take a look at the other story sites out there, the largest of them has an 18+ story rule. I think that's a little excessive - in most civilised countries the age of consent is 16, so as long as characters meet that criteria, they are acceptable here.

I stand corrected. I thought if it was fiction it wouldn't be a "big deal", actually acting it out, yes. What happened to "freedom of speech" ?

I'm all for free speech, but have to draw the line somewhere. It simply isn't worth the hassle northwest777.

also, in some countries 'freedom of speech' is only allowed to those in power. here in NSW, Australia, a story about people under sixteen years of age having sex is in breach of section 91 of the NSW Crimes Act and classed as Child Pornography - even having a story where a fifteen year old watches two adults having sex is classed as Child Porn under the law. I can well understand why Lush doesn't want to risk the legal trouble, and agree.

We all seem to forget sometimes that not everyone is in the same country.

Although it may be titillating to some weird minds out there, is a serious matter that should not be taken lightly. It should not be advertised or promoted. I know of a number of actual events regarding this matter from travels to many countries but I decline to write about them. I abhor the victimization of children and young teens. We have a sick element in our society that practices this invasion of the young and "stories" only add to mix. Yes, due to factual reporting, underage victims can be mentioned in a general sense but certainly not with descriptive sexual rhetoric. I certainly concur with the webmaster in not delving into that area.

As a story moderator, and a resident of the state of Missouri who sometimes travels 22 miles across the state line and into the neighboring state of Kansas, I pay close attention to the ages of characters in stories I review.

16 is legal in Kansas, 17 is legal in the state of Missouri. When I'm in Kansas, I don't read any story with characters under 17 years of age - for the same reason which Mr Deadly outlines above. In America, you have federal law and you have state law.

If you think it's confusing now, imagine my thoughts when I was a 17 to 19 year old young man living in Missouri, dating girls who lived in Kansas. There was also a federal law called: The Mann Act which dealt primarily with sexual slavery/prostitution/human trafficking...but also addressed transporting younger women and boys across state lines for the sole purpose of sexual relations. If I was thinking of dating a 16 year old from the State of Kansas, you better believe the thought of Mann Act was prominent in my mind, before driving her back into Missouri to attend a youth party in my state - or for anything else. Getting caught making out in my car, while parking...by a Missouri policeman with a sixteen year old girl - could have been disastrous.

In 1978, Congress updated the act's definition of "transportation" and added protections against commercial sexual exploitation for minors. It added a 1986 amendment which further protected minors and added protection for adult males. It replaced the ambiguous "debauchery" and "any other immoral purpose" with the more specific "any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense."[1]

The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.

Frankly, freedom of speech has no relevance to what the wonderful providers of this site want to appear in its content. Freedom of speech means that if you want to search hard enough you can find works on any subject at other sites, doesnt mean they have to be in here. Should Nicola decide one day that she's had enough of erotica and wants Lush to be about knitting then thats the way it is. The rules are there, if you dont like them move on, no need to question why theyre there.

It's as easy as this if ya don't wanna follow the rules there is the door move on.

"Freedom of speech" doesn't mean you can write whatever you want on a private site. It would be the same as walking into a McDonald's and yelling at the top of your lungs, demanding your "free speech" rights (as they haul you off to jail).

Freedom of speech does not give you freedom of responsibility. If you say something abhorrent, others have a right to shout you down. If you say something inflammatory, you can be held responsible for the fallout. If you say something offensive on a private site, they have the right of free association under the 1st amendment to boot your ass clean off.
I hope that explains it.
