How to handle non sexual underage nudity

    This is a controversial area so I wanted to pose a couple of questions to all, and especially to the 'old hands' out there. I'm new to writing here at CHYOA and I know I'd be tap dancing on a minefield, but I'm thinking about a future story that will necessarily have underage characters.
    #1. Can underage characters fully dressed themselves, see naked adults or cause them to be stripped? There is NO arousal on the part of the underaged. Merely shock or amusement.
    #2. Can the nudity of underage characters, at the hands of another underage character, be inferred or implied, but never actually seen or described?
    Thanks in advance

    OK. After reading a lot of related posts, it's clear that one man's erotic treasure is another man's erotic trash. So, I've decided to drop back and punt on the issue and rework my story with only 18+ers. My pea brain realized that it will eventually be a richer, broader, erotic story for me and anyone else who wants to jump into the story if we don't have to keep tip toeing around the issue. I withdrawal the question. Thanks, though to all who have gone before me on this issue.

    No.

    It depends.
    It is allowed to offer information about the character in a reporting, non-arousing manner.

    Also, see the CHYOA Rules.

    Thanks for the reply. And thanks for being gentle. I'm still a virgin. As you can see by my second posting, I'll just avoid the whole issue entirely and make all characters over 18. It will be a better story anyways. Rather not deal with the blowback.
