Yes, I'm in the United States. And no, I don't mean kiddie porn, per se; except through the eyes of the law. I have no interest in little girls, I'm simply curious about the laws regarding seventeen year olds.

And keep in mind, I'm not referring to explicit sexual acts in this scenario. I was thinking more along the lines of "girl tied up, scantilly clad but not revealing anything considered sexual, in a manner which would arose those who found such material arousing". You see, I'm asking because it's debatable. On the one hand, it could be considered illegal, because she's under the age of 18, and in a situation which is generally considered to be Mature, by law. On the other hand, the pictures featuring her depict no sexual acts, be it willing or otherwise, nor do they depict any part of her body that is considered sexual. Thus, in this second argument, you could bring up the point that the pictures aren't mature in nature at all. Once I started thinking about these, and each of the arguments one could use to press their point, I began to wonder what the actual law was.

It's amazing what you'll think of when it's four in the morning and you can't get to sleep.
