About big-gulp

Why is this a turn-on? Nobody seems to know, but for whatever reason, there's a substantial cadre of us who really get off on this stuff. If you're a psychology major reading this site because you're writing your thesis about us, please let us know if you figure out why we have this kink: we'd like to know!

What big-gulp isn't:

• Big-gulp isn't a death, dismemberment, and cannibalism page (although digestion sometimes painlessly happens _after_ the live victim has been swallowed). Jeffrey Dahmer fans must look elsewhere.
• Big-gulp isn't a record of things that have actually happened. This is fantasy, and most of the things described here aren't possible in the first place.

Commonly made requests

• Can you forward this letter to the anonymous author of story X, or the anonymous artist of picture Y? No. Authors and artists have the option of having their email addresses listed or not listed. Please understand: we just don't have the time to act as an anonymous remailing service.
• Can you forward me the new stories and pictures which are waiting for the next update? No. You'll just have to wait with everyone else until the moderators have a chance to do their job.
• Can you post some more stories about females swallowing females (or whatever)? We post what people submit. There isn't anything we can do to get people to submit more items in a particular category. If you have an idea for a story or picture, you might try posting the idea on the message board; you might be able to interest somebody in creating what you have in mind.

Linking to the big-gulp site

We sometimes get mail like this: "We just linked to your site, and we'd love it if you link to ours in return!" Again, you're welcome to link. As for linking to your site, our rule is simple: if your site has swallowing content, we'll provide a link to it; otherwise, we won't. This helps keep the site focused.

The site has received various net awards, some less dubious than others. You're welcome to recognize the site in this manner. We don't link to the award graphics, though, since this just slows down load time without adding content. We don't list the awards on the site since it would be just one more thing to keep track of.

Policy:We will not post any story in which a clearly underaged character has sex (We take "underaged" to mean "under 16", since 16 is legal in some states in the U.S.). Further, we will not post any story where a minor's physique is described in what we judge to be a sexualized manner. We will post no picture of a subject who appears to be under 18.

I spent a good bit of time looking into the legality of fictional erotic stories involving underage characters. This has proven to be a remarkably difficult question to answer. I've found abundant confirmation of what I already knew: erotic photographs of underaged subjects are illegal (as they should be). But while I think that fictional text should be legal, I haven't been able to find out whether it is legal. A search of Lexis-Nexis was no help, and nobody on QueerLaw answered my question. I asked the ACLU, but they do not provide the service of researching and answering this kind of question. The most I've gotten so far has been the offhand opinions of some of the readers of this site.

I doubt that a story in which a minor is merely swallowed is illegal, since swallowing is not a sex act, and since this kind of thing happens in Hollywood movies without anybody being prosecuted. Thus, I'll post stories where a minor is swallowed, as long as there is not substantial erotic attention given to the minor's physique. "Say Uncle" is an example of a story which I believe passes this test, since all of the erotic description is of the uncle (the boy is barely described at all).

If anyone knows the law on this matter, please let me know. I'm looking for court precedents, references to specific legislation, etc. I abhor censorship, and I want to restrict as little as possible.

For the record, I will cooperate to the fullest extent in helping law enforcement to prosecute any actual cases of adults having sex with children. There is a big difference between fantasy and reality.
