Quick Answer Guide to Underage Smut
Can I roleplay smut with a minor?
What if the country theyâre in/Iâm in is okay with it?Â
Just because their country is okay with it, doesnât mean yours is and vice versa. Only roleplaying with those 18 and above is the safest for everyone involved.Â
Also, many websites are run under United States law.
What if in my state the legal age of consent is 16?
Doesnât matter. State age of consent is irrelevant. You must be 18+.
What if weâre both underage?
Itâs still not safe to do, because you can still be investigated by police and charged even as a minor.
How far can an adult an minor go in roleplay before itâs no longer legal?
As soon as you start mentioning arousal, groping of the breasts, touching of genitals, clothes coming off, etc. youâre out of line.Â
Things like kissing, hugging, holding hands, etc. are fine.
What if weâre 18+ but our characters arenât?
This could fall under the distribution of child pornography. Best for everyone involved, both mun and characters, to be 18+.
Is fade-to-black considered smut?
No, because fade-to-black is where you skip the writing of sexual acts entirely and theyâre only implied.Â
Can I roleplay violence/gore/drug/noir themes with a minor?
Yes, as long as it doesnât involve smut.
Before you ask: âWhy can we write violence and gore with a minor, but not smut?!â
I donât make the laws.Â
Iâm a minor. Can I write smut fanfiction?
Yes, as long as youâre writing it by yourself. Laws come into play when youâre writing with someone else. If youâre writing sexual themes by yourself, youâre fine.
Iâm a minor and Iâm going to roleplay smut with people anyway!
Cool, you support the possibility of ruining someoneâs life and your own just so you can have your quick sexual satisfaction via text. You sound like an awesome human being that everyoneâs going to want to RP with. Â Yes - thatâs sarcasm. Â In case youâre confused.
What do I do if I find out the person that Iâve been roleplaying/smutting with is a minor that lied about their age?
Let them know that itâs illegal and that theyâve put you in jeopardy. Ask them to delete their logs. Delete your logs. Block the person. Thereâs not much else you can do.
