What does the term “Teen” mean?
Teen is an abbreviation for teenager, and teenager means “adolescent.” This is a word we particularly dislike, as it is too borderline…
The use of the term “Teen” in pornography
In heterosexual pornography, this term is widely used with models aged 18 to 20 who are then disguised as schoolgirls and cheerleaders. In gay pornography, we also find this word, with scenarios of young men being anally penetrated in locker rooms, for example…
“Teen” and legality: Where is the limit?
In short, as long as the person is 18 years old, it remains legal, but frankly, the staging does everything to bring us closer to pedophilia by touching on the daily life of a minor adolescent.
Moreover, in the world of gay porn, you will see very few videos featuring a teen surrounded by older men: it is sex between teens that is very often shown to precisely avoid a staging too close to an act of pedophilia.
By excellence, the teen is often a shrimp, or a twink to be more precise. It is their young age that is the primary criterion here, which is what we find particularly shocking in the staging or in the ads we can find on certain sites.
Why is the term “Minet” preferred over “Teen” in the gay community?
Fortunately, very few ads use the term “teen” online; it is rather “minet” that is highlighted, and that is why this term is so minor in the vocabulary of the gay community and the search for hookups.
Recommendations and warnings regarding the term “Teen”
Avoid this appellation as much as possible; it is truly too borderline… Moreover, there is no need to add fuel to the fire when we know that many homophobes do not differentiate between homosexuality and pedophilia…
So, you might say that it is not words that hurt, but human beings. That is correct, but let’s leave this ugly expression to the world of porn and focus instead on gay encounters that respect rules and laws…
WARNING! We do not give warnings about pedophilia; we act immediately and will not hesitate to become a civil party if a malicious act is detected… Be careful, make sure your partners are not minors. We remind you that our site and our services are in any case formally prohibited to minors (tall and adult in their heads and/or consenting, we don’t care: a minor is a person who is not 18 years old, it is illegal and immoral, period)!
