I personally believe that an adult telling a story about normal and healthy sexual discovery is a wonderful thing to share, in general and for all of those who have been repressed or told that this, that, or the other is wrong, sinful, whatever. Masturbation IS a normal and healthy sexual activity. In addition, most people do not develop sexual feelings or curiosities magically on their 18th birthday.
That said, the climate towards anything sexual online is becoming nearly rather ridiculous and the powers that be are the ones who dicate the rules. So if you want to play the game, and we do want to stay online for you all, it's their rules, or there is ultimately no solotouch. The moral of this story is that it really does not matter what I think and this is why our rules have changed. So please refrain from sending your vitriol to me. You are preaching to the choir.
Please do take note of the hypocrisy of Hollywood rules and a healthy sexual forum. (American Beauty anyone? That's ok, right?)
Also, please make mine and our volunteer editors' lives easier. Simply saying everyone in the story is 18 and then telling stories that are contextually about minors are not going to work and you are wasting your and our time. For story, comment and forum posts, anything that remotely refers to a minor, in direct language or not will be rejected/removed.
There's still some pretty great stuff here and lots of great submissions, so enjoy!
