Smut & minors
(Anonymous) 2015-06-10 12:31 am (UTC)(link)Asking for a friend.
(jk, but this 17 year old keeps pushing for smut between our characters and i'm really not into the thought, but it got me wondering)

(Anonymous) 2015-06-10 12:54 am (UTC)(link)Yes.
It's not about how old they are, it's that going for it at 17 years and 355 days shows that the older person is unable to wait a single day and shows a creepy lack of self restraint.
Re: Smut & minors
(Anonymous) 2015-06-10 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)Hi, in my country legal age is 14. 1/3 of teenagers have done it around 16, most do it later, quite a few later than 18. The age of the partner is usually not a question and varies, depending on the situation, relationship kind and (mutual!! I was totally into 20~25 year olds when I was 16)preferences.
fuck your arbitrary sexual maturity line

Re: Smut & minors
(Anonymous) 2015-06-10 12:55 am (UTC)(link)If the age gap starts getting wider, say 10 or so years and upwards, then there's a more creepy 'waiting until they're legal' potentially grooming vibe to it. As though someone's been cultivating the friendship just for the smutty RP tiems.
But then as a 30-something, the thought of dealing with even an 18-20 year old in an RP setting would send me screaming in the opposite direction, so...

(Anonymous) 2015-06-10 01:04 am (UTC)(link)Because guess whose ass is on the line when that happens? Here's a hint, not the minor.
Minors pushing for smutty RP with people they know are adults are selfish little brats.
Re: Smut & minors
(Anonymous) 2015-06-10 01:12 am (UTC)(link)Once they're eighteen though, I hold them to the same standards as my RP partners who were over eighteen before we started writing together. As long as they're not pushy and can agree to character development before the sex, I don't care how old they were when I met them. I'd probably feel differently about it if someone whose backside I'd diapered in my teens wanted to smut when they're legal, but that's yet to be relevant.

Re: Smut & minors
(Anonymous) 2015-06-10 02:56 am (UTC)(link)I wouldn't necessarily judge someone else for going for it, though, especially if they were on the younger end of adulthood themself - it really depends on what the dynamic between them was beforehand, and whether they've basically been holding a countdown until the younger partner was legal, or sort of just went 'huh, I guess we can do this now'.
Re: Smut & minors
(Anonymous) 2015-06-10 04:43 am (UTC)(link)That said, as far as minors pushing for smut...I generally shut them down by pointing to a high-ish profile case where I live that dealt with basically this exact situation. As often as not that drives home the "shit gets real bad" part of it to them.
Re: Smut & minors
(Anonymous) 2015-06-10 05:14 am (UTC)(link)but this is why I ask for 18+ RPers even if I don't plan on having smut involved, you never know
Re: Smut & minors
(Anonymous) 2015-06-10 11:22 am (UTC)(link)However, if the younger person is 16 or younger and/or immature, and all you're doing is RPing smut, and you as the older, responsible party are encouraging this, then that's where it starts to get creepy.
Basically, if you're genuinely RPing, it's probably fine - but if what you're doing is essentially intensely sexting but using different characters names, then you should ask yourself what you're doing sexting a minor.
On this subject, in high school I knew a few 16 year old girls who RPed a lot with women in their 40s, including the occasional smutty scene. The smut didn't bother me then and doesn't now, though I did think it was weird and the 40 year olds were weird for doing it - what bothered me was the many hours a day they would spend RPing, including in the middle of the night because of time differences. But 10 years on they're fine, no lasting psychological damage has been done from writing the fictional sex with old ladies.
Re: Smut & minors
(Anonymous) 2015-06-10 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)And you had 16 year old friends who'd stay up all night just to RP smut with adults, and you think the 40 year olds were the ones who were weird? Uh...
