What does the phrase "young teen" mean to you?
 

Do you think it's appropriate to call 18+ girls this?

(A rhetorical question, I know... but I just came across a site that uses this phrase in their domain...)

Could still be conceived as preteen

yeah, thats what its meant for

Why do you need to go that far back? Even a 17 year old associated with porn isn't legal.

I wouldn't consider a 17 year old a "young teen"...

young teen sounds like 13 - 14 teen

i don't know how it could still be conceived as preteen, considering that teens is from 13-19 , so yeah young teen does sound 13-15

The word "young" starts to get contentious and stink even ignoring the word "teen".

Only my :2 cents: but there are 1000's of keywords to play with without having to hit on senstive areas.

it means close the page as fast as you can, dont view any images and move on.

18teen 19 teen is actually old teen

For me, young teens = 13, 14, 15

Hmm, well since I'm used to the porn world, "young teen" to me, means a girl who is at least or barely 6570 days old (18 years to all the bewildered folk). But to the rest of the world, I would imagine "young teen" means 13 - 16 years of age.

below 14 age group

It means jailbait and sad anuff people want what they cant have so yes young teen would mean 13-15 but then you could say teen means 16-19 or all of the above does it really matter just dont use the word preteen becasue thats just sick.

Young teen sounds like jail time to me.

It means one is not certain whether or not they want to bunk with Buster and Reemer in the prison cell.

JAIL and some guy named bubba

I'd never use the word "young" along with "teen". There are only 2 ages in the "teen" years that are legal, eighteen and nineteen. Both of those are "old" teens.

in the adult biz, the first thing that pops into my head is 18/19....

if i were your everyday schmuck on the other hand, it woudl be 13/14...

Teenagers aged 18 years or older would not be classified as "young teens".

"Young teen" and all its connotations = bad news waiting to happen.

I think most people already know and understand this. The question sounds like it was asked just for the views.

It's subjective, I guess. It was pointed out to me earlier today that one of my sites had "young teen" in the description still, so I removed it so that no one would get the wrong idea. As some have said though, being in the porn business, I see "young teen" as someone who is barley 18....but is at least 18. But I removed it anyway, just to be safe.

I don't understand this line of reasoning. "Young" means you're at the lower end of the scale, eg of life. If you add a further qualifier such as teen, that means you're at the lower end of the teen period, which is 13-19 inclusive.

Then again I've seen 15 year olds referred to as "young adults" and 22 year olds referred to as "girls" (this was in mainstream media :) )

yeah the name is an oxymoron when you pertain it to adult

I guess not much thought went into it and the term has been coin phrased now

:2 cents: :2 cents:

Having that phrase on your page is like painting a target on your back for trouble. I hope everyone here is smarter than that.

Teen is 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

When you say "young teen" you are pretty much saying they are in the earlier part of the spectrum, and thus inviting trouble.

Consider a porn star of legal age, describing in an interview her first time as a "young teen" ... to censor or not to censor?

Am I not allowed to publish anything about my sex life before I was legal?

Opinions, please!

When I'm writing text for clients or for myself, I intentionally steer away from the phrasing "young teen". Too many connotations that you don't want. I'm even wary of the word "young". Usually if I use the word "young", I'll make a point to mention the 18+ age or say "legal teen" somewhere in the same paragraph. I'd rather err on the side of caution.

In the porn world, that terms been used so much that I now associate it with 18+.

But if my mind wasnt corrupt from being in this industry, id probably think it was younger.

since 13-19 are the years we are teens, a young teen would be at the lower end of that spectrum - hence totally illegal for adult sites.

Its been a banned term in my eyes since 2001
