This just reminds me of when there was a picture of two boys around the same age as the kids in the picture kissing a few years ago and people flipped the hell out because clearly they must've been abused and adults were MAKING them kiss and trying to brainwash them into being gay because no 5 year old (or however old they were) boy would want to kiss another boy.

[tabaqui]

This was the first thing that came to mind for me, too. A little girl and little boy doing this, they're 'cute' and 'omg!' and 'awwww!'. And get teased about having a 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend'.

Two boys or two girls? They're 'too young to understand that/feel that way/it's sick/they're confused/some adult is pushing that on them'.

Bleh, the hypocrisy.

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly.

A few years ago a family friend's 8 year old son had a crush on a boy he went to school with and there were a bunch of supposedly "open minded liberal" relatives on Facebook having a meltdown about how the parents had "planted the idea in his head" because he was "too young" and it was so digusting how they were "sexualizing" him. But his 6 year old sister having a crush on a boy in her class was perfectly fine and TOTALLY NOT AT ALL THE SAME THING.

[tabaqui]

I always got pissed when people would ask my then-five or six or seven year old daughter 'do you have a boyfriend'?

No, she fucking doesn't, holy fuck.

[elialshadowpine]

I seriously don't get it. Back in... oh, 2003 or so, my youngest niece, who was 5 at the time, wrote a love letter to her best friend. This being Texas, her friend's mom freaked out and wouldn't let my niece see her friend anymore. People are assholes. :(

[tabaqui]

Yes, they are.

[feotakahari]

I like cute, nonsexual romance between young characters.

I also like stuff around the teens where people are first getting into sex, but don't really know how to go about it.

I am very, very careful that those two things don't get mixed up.

I LOVE awkward first times.

I would especially love to see, say more slash where neither the top nor bottom know very well what they're doing.

Clumsy awkward "wtf are we even doing" sex for the win

+1 million

NAYRT

I agree so much with this you have no idea. I'm one of the Haikyuu!! anons (seems like there's around like four or five of us, hah, I'll narrow it down by saying I'm one of the couple of anons who isn't into Kuroo/Tsukishima at all) and honestly this is one of my biggest pet peeves in that fandom, because they're the perfect age for first loves and first times, and yet people insist on writing them like they're sex professionals or something.

No! No, stop it! Give me a first time fic where Asahi's dick is just too big for Noya to take because Nishinoya hasn't experimented with anything more than a finger or two inside himself before. (Bonus points if they then decide that Noya topping Asahi for their first time is much more manageable.) Give me blowjob fic where Oikawa is gloating that he's got skills and then he's coughing and spluttering because Iwaizumi's dick is a lot different than trying to deep-throat a banana (which, he wasn't all that great at either). Give me fic where Hinata and Kageyama try frottage and Hinata tries sucking a hickey on Kageyama's collarbone and whoops Kageyama came after a couple of strokes.

Just give me all the fic where people's first times aren't these magical, seamless porno shoots. Part of my enjoyment of actual sex is the minutiae, the realness, the fact that sex isn't perfect. I don't want my sex to be perfect, and I don't want my fic sex to be perfect either, because it feels less real that way and I find myself not getting into it as much.

YES! Awkward first times ftw.

I've been lucky to run into a few well-written ones and they were awesome. Definitely more engaging than the ones where everyone is inexplicably good at sex because they saw a porno once (or just instinctually know what to do) or the ones that give one of the participants (usually the top) a long sexual history (at the age of 15-16).

[diet_poison]

Children playing at romance is pretty cute, but I still think it's weird to see pictures of them kissing :/

[(Anonymous)]

I think people's response to pictures like that probably depend on the environment in which they were raised.

Like I come from a big family, but we kiss each other on the mouth all the time. It's closed mouth, of course. Closer to a peck. But I'm 37, and my 33-year-old brother will still lay a smacker on me every once in a while. Same with my Mom.

So seeing two kids kiss each other, to me, is just a kind of sweet greeting that says "I love you" in very innocent terms. Like they love their favorite teddy bear or ice cream.

[diet_poison]

Huh. I did that with my mom a few times as a really young kid, but the thought of doing it with anyone other than an SO now is really weird and honestly grosses me out. Maybe it's cultural?

[vethica]

I feel this. Not all shipping is about sex. :|

[(Anonymous)]

Um... have people actually made that leap? Because if so, they're being icky, not you/OP.

[elaminator]

I'm sure that romance between kids can be cute in a fluffy way and I don't see any problem with that, but I can't think of any 'pairings' I've enjoyed atm. Teens though, sure, I've definitely had my fair share of teen ships. (Ellie and Riley from TLOU, for example. Those two were adorable together.)

[(Anonymous)]

I don't view shipping as being about sex, I know some people in fandom do but I view shipping as something that can be "OMG that's so cute!"

And kid romances can be adorable, super innocent stories about kids falling for each other can definitely get an "Aww" out of me.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't view shipping as being about sex

Me neither. To me it's more about an emotional relationship between characters and doesn't necessarily have to include sex. I often feel like I'm doing it wrong, though.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I ship lots of pairings that I never want to imagine having sex.

[(Anonymous)]

Same.

I do ship kid characters. Not in sexual way, just in that first love/crush sort of way. Because it's cute. No regrets.

[(Anonymous)]

Have you seen Little Manhattan?

[(Anonymous)]

You might like Moonrise Kingdom.

[(Anonymous)]

I think anyone who looks at that picture and associates it with sex, especially in a way that's dirty, probably has some serious issues of their own.

[(Anonymous)]

The modern age of "you can't ship underage pairings because that makes you a pedo, even if you age them up that still makes you a pedo" is ridiculous.
