Not all speech is protected speech. In the same manner that some visual material can be obscene, certain types of speech can be obscene or objectionable as well. It really shouldn't be that hard to say "explicit sexual material of any sort involving minors is not permissible". I cannot picture any sane adult saying "we need to protect the child porn stories and kiddie abuse stories for people to whack off to".
Don't fall into the trap of bizarre absolutes... it is what the people who seek to abuse the rights do to try to make themselves blend in.

Again... freedom of expression up until the point that it affects another person's right to life, liberty, or property.
Exploitation of minors, in any sense, would be a violation of their rights to liberty.
The conception of the idea, however... personally, I'm not sure that can or should be legislated.
