Are 16 year old characters allowed to do the deed, or do they need to be 17?

I know in some countries the age of consent is 16, so I’m curious what the current guidelines are for episode characters.

from the guidelines:

  1. Nudity / Sexual Content:
  • a. No depiction of sex (or anything suggesting that sex is occurring at that moment) in any form, including but not limited to, nudity in a sexual context, gyrating bodies, oral sex, or moaning/groaning.
  • b. No explicit sexual details of what is happening, has happened or will happen off-screen
  • c. No nudity without censor bars or scenery to censor
  • d. No reference to orgies, sexual fetishes, and specific sexual positions
  • e. No descriptions or depictions of non-consensual sex. Through content or through choice selection, the reader must be able to give consent to having sex or performing sexual acts (i.e. reader must always have the option to turn it down without punishment or judgment)
  • f. No graphic/explicit/detailed description or depiction of active, ongoing sexual abuse involving a character who is under 18 years of age.
  • g. No graphic/explicit/detailed description or depiction of illegal relationships such as incest

To be safe, I wouldn’t show any part of it and just elude to it having happened.
Not being prude-ish as I know that teens experiment and whatnot.
I say this because it could be offensive to someone and/or it could be that their place of residence has a higher age of consent… and they may flag your story as having inappropriate content.

So, yeah, I would stick to just eluding it happened without any kind of description.

True that some get away with things that others don’t and it’s a little ridiculous.

That said, if a popular writer jumps off a cliff, and lives doesn’t mean that the next person will make out the same. ya know? And the last thing this app needs is more questionable content. :joy:

O.P. As I said, I would just elude lightly that it happened but offer no visual or narrative of it. Also, if it doesn’t benefit your story or characters, why use it at all. There are so many other ways to show the bond or connection between two people that doesn’t involve sex.
