For the first 18 years age is *more* than just a number

Just a reminder for folks who’s age isn’t listed in their blog header and where it’s not at all clear that everybody people in your posts are adults.  

I’m glad you enjoy my blog but if someone is underage and trying to interact with adults they’re not “Littles” and they’re not being “kinky.”  

And for cognitive reasons related to the development of sexuality they shouldn’t be visiting adult blogs.  It’s not simply about “age of consent” or morality or legality.  Those are factors, sure, but it’s more that there are too many adults who, looking back, realize they got really fucked over and fucked up before their sexuality was fully developed, and because of this they find their ability to express themselves sexually or enjoy sex or form trusting relationships with partners is diminished or extinguished.

For this and other reasons please add your age to your sites so I’ll know it’s ok not to block and/or report you. I’m not singling anyone, but I do ask this of anyone who isn’t clearly an adult.

Yes.  Age is just a number.  And yes 18 can seem like a particularly arbitrary number.  But statistically and demographically it’s a perfectly reasonable arbitrary number.  

Incidentally, this message isn’t just for minors: everybody needs to play only with others on their own side of that number.
