In other words your referring to a 'child'.
That's 14-15 years old in these parts. Old enough to marry in many states. Hardly a "child" in the sense you suggest.

Sex with a girl of 14 in my area is considered a 'statutory" crime--much like underage drinking or driving. If the girl is 14 and the actor is less than 4 years older, it is not a crime at all, statutory or otherwise. If the girl is 15-17 and the actor is less than 10 years older, it is not a crime, statutory or otherwise. Now, if your objection is to the idea of abduction and forcible rape, well sure, that's a bad thing regardless of the age of the victim. But you'll find a lot of abducting and forcible raping in the stories on this site. Good thing it's all fiction.

I think that's really what it boils down to--it's fiction. And in this, of all venues, we should expect to be a bit shocked, surprised, or even appalled at times. Requiring that "warnings" be attached to posts on the forum would do nothing but create a whole lot of busywork for the folks who provide us this forum. Please, no slight intended, but I don't agree that we need such labeling of posts. If we're here, the assumption is we're of age and capable of dealing with material we may find unsavory. Applying warnings of possibly "offensive" material in posts strikes me as being as unnecessary as affixing warnings to lighters proclaiming them "flammable."

Well, no shit.

My apologies--I don't mean to offend, truly. But I have to say that I feel applying "warning labels" to posts belabors the obvious. This is a BDSM forum. Of COURSE some things are going to offend.
