Recently I read about the downfall of internet porn king, Tom Reedy, whose defense was – the photographs posted, which shocked and distressed hardened Dallas police - were computer generated, no children were harmed. Should, people be allowed to view computer generated kiddy porn and/or be allowed to read about it? Is a picture more offensive than a story? In my humble opinion, a story written by a skilled author is far more vivid.
As for the ‘age of consent’. I feel it has little to do with the ‘child’ and everything to do with the ‘adult’ enjoying it. If the characters in a story or photo shoot are portrayed as young and innocent children, for the purpose of sexual titillation, certainly I think that amounts to kiddy porn.
Personally, I just don’t feel comfortable with this kind of appetite is being fed. As much as anything, I think it’s like eating carob - it tastes ok for a while, but then you really just have to have some chocolate.
I noticed none of these posts contain the dreaded ‘p’ word. Well, if you enjoy reading, watching, or looking at pics of kids being abused and/or having sex, that’s what you are – you’re a paedophile!
