Gotta weigh in here because it is always a topic that amuses me. Here it is in a word: Relax!
The only reason that they don't allow stories and such about under 18 is that our stories and such are fetishistic in nature. It is a law. That aside, this isn't going to get cut because this is a discussion about morals, laws and not meant to turn anyone on.
That said. I am constantly astounded by references to the age "mason-dixon" line. Does an underage superstar dress the way she does because it's fashionable? No, she wants to flaunt her natural sexual appeal. Its Nature, folks. Is it appropriate for an "older" adult (hysterical laughter) to tickle a girl under 18? The law states (in SOME states - it's lower in others) that you cannot have sexual contact with a girl under 18 if you are over 18. It does not say it is illegal or immoral to hang out with or even date. The law is very clear about the fact that sex with a minor is considered statutory rape. But it means sex, not getting turned on. There is no vice squad posted in the pants of every man and woman, just WAITING to see whether they get turned on by seeing a younger girl. If that was true, the prisons would be filled so much that there would be no one left to moderate ridiculous threads like this one. Once again - RELAX.
"Older" people get turned on by girls under the "legal" age of 18. IT'S NOT A FREAKIN CRIME! It's a law that you just can't do anythinbg about it.
Now, if you are using a younger girl for tickling just so you could get off, then you got to face your own moral values. It becomes a crime of conscience.
I hug and kiss my young daughter and it is like a father and daughter. It's not illegal. As soon as society starts to look at a beautiful thing like that as immoral, then what you have is a failed, sick society. I have tickled my kids with absolutely no sexual reaction. Why? Because it's like hugging and kissing them. My brain knows the difference between a lover and a family member.
I blame a lot of things on threads like this: very young posters (and the people who don't recognize this and bother to respond), this new, politically enforced pseudo-moralistic value system, religion, fear, neurosis.
Dude, (and anyone else who even entertained this poster's fears), relax. If you are inappropriately (sexually) touching a girl under 18, you have the law to deal with. If you are simply tickling her (no matter whether it turns you on or not), you have your own conscience to deal with.
Okay, I'm getting breakfast now. Thanks for listening.
