BDSM 101: Underage Individuals In BDSM, and Tumblr’s Adult Blogging Community...
1. I do not support underage individuals in BDSM.
It is a widely held belief within the community, that underage individuals are not intellectually or emotionally ready for many of the activities found in kink. The age of 18 is a dividing line for many things in the world, because the personal development necessary for adult activities such as viewing porn, voting in elections, and serving in the military, is not complete until you reach the age of 18. The dividing line does not exist to spite you personally, if you are not 18. Sorry/not sorry, if we, (the Tumblr BDSM community), want to look out for your best interests, even if you don’t.
**Unfollow OneLittleKingdom, and stop visiting my blog, if you are not yet 18 years old.**
2. I do not support those who enable or encourage underage individuals to explore BDSM.
Regardless of your intentions, you are telling underage individuals that it’s OK to be in our adult community, break what rules they feel don’t apply to them, ignore Tumblr rules and community etiquette, and enabling them to remain within the reach of adult predators in a desirable environment for them to operate within.
**Unfollow OneLittleKindom, and stop visiting my blog, if you do not actively discourage underage individuals from being in adult Tumblr spaces.**
3. I do not support those underage individuals who hide themselves behind a blog, without declaring their age, who explore BDSM in secret.
Being vague about how old you are, does not alter the fact that you should not be in adult spaces, that you are breaking the rules, or that you are endangering yourself by leading Tumblrs to believe that you are a legal member of our community. BDSM is a world of many rules. If you are unable to follow the first rule today, of waiting until you are 18 to join the community, you are demonstrating why you are not ready to be a part of this adult world, by building the foundation of your BDSM journey, on an unspoken lie.
**Unfollow OneLittleKingdom, and stop visiting my blog, if you refuse to either display your age, or declare that you are of legal age, obviously and openly on your blog.**
4. I do not support those underage individuals who lie about how old they are on Tumblr, in order to explore BDSM in secret.
Lying about how old you are, does not alter the fact that you should not be in adult spaces, that you are breaking the rules, or that you are endangering yourself by leading Tumblrs to believe that you are a legal member of our community. BDSM is a world of activities that require good communication skills. If you are unable to be forthright with us, by honestly telling us how old you are today, you are demonstrating why you are not ready to be a part of this adult world, or starting your journey within it, by the foundation of your intentional lie.
**Unfollow OneLittleKingdom, and stop visiting my blog, if you are actively lying to adult bloggers about your age in order to remain among us.**
5. I do not support those underage individuals who create unused Tumblr blogs, so they can explore BDSM in secret.
Omitting who you are, and/or how old you are, does not alter the fact that you should not be in adult spaces, that you are breaking the rules, or that you are endangering yourself by leading Tumblrs to believe that you are a legal member of our community. If you are unable to be forthright with us by honestly telling us either who you are, or how old you are, you are demonstrating why you are not ready to be a part of this adult world, or starting your journey within it, with the foundation of a lie of omission.
**Unfollow OneLittleKingdom, and stop visiting my blog, if you are intentionally hiding behind the gray-face of an anonymous and/or empty blog, because you are not yet 18, in order to remain among us.**
6. I do not support underage individuals in adult spaces.
No one would be surprised if a young teen girl claimed to feel upset, violated, grossed-out, or stalked by a predator, if they were approached by a middle-aged man, in a sexual context. Here’s something that may surprise you: I am upset, and feel forced into an awkward, unethical, and an illegal situation, every time I discover I have been inadvertently interacting with kids in my adult space. When I post that picture of a Dominant, roughly fucking the face of His submissive, I’m not throwing it on my wall for the enjoyment or education of thirteen year-olds, 15 year-olds, or 17 year-olds.
**Unfollow OneLittleKingdom, and stop visiting my blog, if you don’t give a fuck how you are making me feel, by not allowing me to choose whether I post that picture of a Dominant, roughly fucking the face of His submissive, to kids like you.**
Author’s Note: If you are an underage individual reading this, you are likely feeling personally attacked, and discriminated against at this point. Let me assure you, that Tumblr’s adult blogging community has nothing personally against you, beyond the amount of time that has passed in your life, since the day you were born. We don’t care if you are a boy or a girl. We don’t care if you are a uniquely developed child, ready for adult things, at a young age. We don’t care how pretty you are, how wise you are, how long you’ve been having sex, or engaging in other illegal activities, like drinking. Even if we had the foresight to know that you would one day be an outstanding member of the community, we do not want you here today. Everything above applies to you through the day you are 17 years, and 364 days old. Nothing above applies to you the following day.
Exercise patience. Follow the rules. Start your journey right. This is what we want for you. We will be here when you’re 18, to welcome you with open arms.

I agree with the above totally, if you're underage from whatever country you're legally from....get the hell off my blog and unfollow. If you turn to a legal age in your county, I welcome you back.
