I just had my publisher tell me I had to remove a sex scene because, although there is no sexual activity described, it is clear that the characters are teens. Now I don't say their ages. In my mind, they are 18, not 13. I've suggested that I use terms like guy as a replacement, but no, the scene must be deleted. It's frustrating because the scene wasn't written to titillate. If it weren't important, I'd just cut it, but it is. I'm seriously considering returning the $$$$ to the publisher, and look for another paying market.
Grrrrr.

The best thing you can do is not to discuss too much about, the law is simply the law and you do not want misery with the court .... not? I understand what you feel ... powerless .... here in GayHeaven be delete photos to even if you can prove that it is perfectly legal and not to minors, but you (we)take best no risks.
They are 18 in your MIND mmm..... not a good explanation and loking for another paying market does not solve much.
Let me warn you Zarney67 do not play with fire!!

Rozas thanks for your concern. I think I overstated the situation a bit. The editor I'm working with made a faulty conclusion. This story isn't about minors and sex. How she got it wrong is another story. I was pissed that I was told to cut a scene without discussion. We've emailed and it's all settled, but I still wonder how much writing gets cut because some writers and editors fail to communicate.

When presented with something, everyone always has different opinion, even if his.her opinion is inaccurate. Even a sentence can be ambiguous, and someone may accuse you as this or that. Same with story. U didn't intend it to be a sexually underage but someone else read and got that impression.

If you dont like your publisher, u can always self-publish! Problem is self-promotion...
