Child Pornography or Art? Is there a line, if so where?
Sox:
I'm close to several people who were sexually abused as kids. All but one of them spent years in silence. All but one of them have severe trust issues. Each of them felt alone, violated, humiliated. Each of them spent most of their lives miserable because of the act itself, not the 'after the fact' stuff.
Kids are still developing both physically and mentally, and no rational, sane person would think they're ready for that kind of thing. Kids are the most fragile people in the world, handle them as if they were made of glass and treat them with the highest level of respect you can.
You're playing devil's advocate in the wrong thread. Be extremely careful what you say from here on out.

I assume that by children, we're talking roughly 6 years old right?
Now how many six year olds are capable of becoming pregnant. Also its not just small girls that get sexually abused, and I highly doubt young boys would become pregnant.
a pack of wolves:
Why would you assume children meant roughly six? That's just one example raised of something that can result from sex anyway.

That was my explanation for

But I concede, as it's possible I'm stepping on people's toes too much here, as Sox pointed out.
Scrambled Egg Machine:
Going back to Pi's hypothetical, let's try to establish a forum-accepted definition for the terms used, and call them the constants. Then we at least attempt to answer the damn question at the end of it.
