Is Stories Online cool with stories about adults who act underage while having sex?
I believe that fourteen is their minimum age for anything of that nature. I think it used to be less than that years ago, but not any longer.
I am confused by your answer. That's because I'm easily confused.
"anything of that nature" is not the precise information that I need.
I think you're saying that if a story described a thirty year old acting like they were ten, while having sex, then SOL would reject that story.
The reason I'm asking is because the guidelines say only, "...may not contain characters younger than 14 having sex or being in sexual situations (masturbation and nudism are not allowed). In other words, all characters that engage in any sexual activity must be 14 or older."
It says nothing about age play/regression.
Depends.
I've had some authors try to pass off unacceptable text by using some plot device like age regression or old aliens that look like very young children and have the sex described as any extremely under-age human would be.
So, if it's described the same way as describing pedophilic sex, then it's unacceptable. For example tiny this, small that, hairless this, tight that are simply a ploy to pass off pedophilia under some other moniker.
That makes sense. Thanks, Lazeez. The story I'm working on will often reinforce that the characters are 14 years or older in their description and speech, but in special circumstances they will act much younger. I hope you find it acceptable.
Sorry I didn't make that clearer. I think Lazeez described it well. There is a section called Author's Help which asks, What Kind of Stories Can I Post? The answer includes, "In that vein, you can't have fictitious characters that are supposedly older and yet somehow behave or look like underage children."
Fourteen implies that they can role-play as young teenagers, say as high school freshmen or the summer before that. That's pretty generous. Younger children can be nubile, but they can't be used as role-play models. It's a judgment call, of course. Just put some hints in there that the characters are acting as if they were at least fourteen.
