I find the lack of pedo here enjoyable. I think that most of the writers would agree with me that there are some areas that will always be off limits. I think that high school stories are o.k. because that is an age where intense sexual exporation normally occurs. True pedo focuses on an age group where sexual exploration doesn't normally occur. Additionally, all too often when we see a child of ages five to eleven, engaging in sexual behavior, we find upon examination that this child has been the victim of prior or recurring sexual molestation. I guess that I don't like to be reminded of work on a site that I associate with play. I hope that the webmaster and the tourguide keep this site free of pedo.
I have no problem with any preferences anyone has for the themes and stories that like. I understand that it is fantasy material. And I have no issue with a moderator or creator of a site deciding what he or she will allow to be posted. If I don't agree I can lobby the site owner to change the policy, or create my own site, or find another site better suited to my likes. Freedom works that way too, I understand that.
But my personal opinion is that I am not sure once we go down the road of saying what is acceptable fantasy material and what is not, that we won't open some pretty prickly moral issues.
For example, I really enjoy discipline stories, and if they are NC and the punishment described is intense, all the better for my fantasies. Can we say that this is okay, to bind and whip or otherwise abuse a young woman against her will, but that it is more morally wrong to fantasize about getting in to some sexual situation with an 13 year old. Once we start saying what someone may have a fantasy about, or write a fantasy about, I think it gets real difficult real fast. Additionally, as many of us are obviously interested in a type of sexuality that many would find objectionable, I hesitate to agree with prohibitions against some other person's fantasy writings. Given our attorney general, the shoe could be on the other foot real fast. That's why I generally adopt the position that ALL writings, whether I agree or find them reprehensible, are acceptable and should not be banned.
That's just a personal position and I in no way intend to demean folks who hold a different view point. But my thinking is that perhaps it is best, especially in a place called BDSM Library, to understand that there is, almost by definition, themes written that will not be attempted in real life, and that others will find morally unacceptable, but allow the other person the freedom to express their interests in their stories. I try to just ignore that which does not interest me or distrubes me and move to the stories that I like.
