If a child is sexually abused to make it, it is simply wrong full stop. I include having men masturbate while looking at the photos, posing for someone in the nude, having sex for the camera, etc. in that category, so if an actual child is in the pics, it is wrong.

There are some borderline cases. I think we should err on the side of decency.

For instance... A 16 year old with clothes on, sold as porn (through a porn program, for instance, or linked from porn sites) is still exploiting the sexuality of a child and is wrong.

(Is every 16-18 year old a child? No. However, standards and laws need to be simple, so I think the whole "nobody under 18" in the pics rule works just fine.)

I have no problem with consenting adults, who are obviously adults, dressing up in a way that seems youthful. Tawnee Stone isn't a bad thing, neither is "teen" stuff starring girls in their 20s.

As far as I am concerned, shooting a 19 year old who isn't mature enough to understand the ramifications of what she is doing is worse than that.

Morality is never totally cut and dry. If it were, we wouldn't still argue about it. ;)
