Character age clarification

Switch Blayde ๐Ÿšซ

With all the changes that have occurred concerning characters' ages, I found discrepancies in the system and its documentation I'd like clarification on.

In the rules, it states that "Basically, all characters that engage in any described/detailed sexual activity must be 14 or older."

In the submission Wizard, it still offers the tags for "ft" and "mt" which are for characters under 18 years old.

But in the tag definitions, the "ft" and "mt" tags no longer exist.

My assumption is the tag definitions are incorrect (that definitions for "ft" and "mt" are incorrectly missing). But you know what they say about people who assume.

I just tried to verify what you were saying and then I realized that I couldn't remember WHERE to find the definitions for the tags. โ˜น๏ธ

There's are link to it on the New Stories, Updated Stories pages (Tag Definitions) and on the category search page (Show All Tags).

WHERE to find the definitions for the tags

There are two places.

1. on the left side on the home page (Tag Definitions link).
2. Authors/Editors and then Tag Definitions.

Thanks, guys.

Wasn't that a defensive measure at the time of the great purge? The mt and ft definitions should only apply to sexual encounters and teenage sexual encounters were forbidden by the Germans, so under their rules those tags should theoretically never be used.

Has that been fully resolved? New stories posted today include eg mt/ft.

Yet you can still select them when posting a new story. And the submission rules say the ages must be 14 or older.

That's why I'm asking. I'd like to know what the final decision is. I believe the tag definitions need to be updated, but I want to be sure (I just started a new story).

I agree.

There are several places on the site where age is mentioned. So the description in those places should also be updated to be consistent.

If we were to examine the minimum legal age for engaging in sexual activities, we would find there is no standardization. If we were to examine the age at which young people begin to engage in sexual activities, in general, we would find the age to be below the legal minimum limit. As long as this age difference between legal age and actual age exists, we authors will have problems writing stories that accurately reflect reality.

Way below the limit. In one of our local schools, a fifth grade student finished the year pregnant. That is about 11 years old. How do you explain that to her classmates? At that age, they can't talk about sex education, but they can discuss LGBTQIA+ issues.

It can be done, but the person giving the children the knowledge they need are likely to end up in prison.

Education and knowledge of something should not be bad.
Application can be bad.
Should kids know how sex itself happens no. Should kids know sex is a adult act they should wait for and its wrong to do with a adult yes. Not knowing gives a power gap where abuse can happen so easily!

How should farmers hide that knowledge from their kids? In the TV series about the Yorkshire Shepherdess and her large family, kids who are barely larger than toddlers know all about breeding sheep, and even help at lambing time.

Lubrican's "Flossie's Revenge" takes place in the rural South in the 1950s. Without sex-ed in school, the kids saw the animals do it, but they had many misconceptions of what actually happened.

Isn't she living in the farm next door that they both bought? Although they both allegedly have new partners, they're still so-parenting.

A large part of the problem is who is doing the education.

Parents are often reluctant to explain sex to their kids and don't do it. Part of the problem is the parent does not provide accurate information.

Kids also receive information from their peers. But that information often contains errors.

I have forgotten so much of the details of my dad explaining sex to me. Overall, he confused me. When he asked me if I wanted him to ask my mom to join us and strip, the discussion went downhill. The thought of embarrassing my mom in that fashion turned me off and all I wanted to do is end the talk. so I probably stop listening to what he said.

In many ways, schools are just as bad, if not worse; some of the teachers add personal opinions, instead of limiting their presentation to factual information.

Some parents are upset with teachers for providing their child with information about sex and complain to the school and school district.

The issue I have with your statements is use of the word kids. At what age does a young person need to know about the details of how to engage in sex. Too young is not good neither is too old. Both lead to pregnancy or some other problem.

The age should not be a factor of time. I should be about degree of maturity. Unfortunately, many people equate maturity with age, but children do not mature at the same rate.

Agreed, as to someone saying they see animals doing it yes, i am referring to they know parts go there, things happen.
I retract/reformat what i said, mind of a child is not ready for the act and responsibilities that can result from it, or need to be taken because of it. That vague idea /burden is what they should not have to learn about since they should not be doing the act.

Maturity as you say is a sliding scale, but we have found if above X age maturity is generally a given.

I consider maturity to be akin to brain development as one part, you cant fathom some things easily and apply them constantly till you age up.

Then there is life experience, like a 18 year old vs a 40 year old. Both mentally have the hardwear to work things out, its just the 40 has more time to refine and have experience living and doing.

There is also maturity in a field, that means for example a electrical worker knows the basics coming in might learn about household stuff and stay, or might go up a level and know about high voltage and extreme stuff that needs alot of safety and care.
