In fairness, there are other considerations than just what turns pedophiles on. Legolas Send a noteboard - 20/01/2011 08:35:45 PM
how? why?

Clearly you are no longer a child. It is not the type of body that would appeal to pedophiles, who prey on children.

I don't get it.

Eighteen is the age of legal adulthood in most places, prior to that age there are a good number of restrictions that are primarily intended to protect the children. Making it illegal to distribute pictures or movies of them naked is one of those protections. I suppose they could do something like the laws on tattoos and go "you can pose naked if you've got your parents' permission to do so", but since that would be a nightmare to keep track of, this way is probably better. :P

And of course on an issue like this there is a strong incentive to use the same age cut-off everywhere, else it'd be undermined rather a lot and international cooperation to track down distributors of child porn would be hampered.

I find the idea that a 17-yearold is covered by child porn laws strange - 20/01/2011 03:44:46 PM 468 Views
I think 18 is the cut-off for child porn in most places, regardless of the age of consent. *NM* - 20/01/2011 08:26:30 PM 190 Views
