Is it art or child abuse?

So what if she's naked?! What can you see?

And a bonus biscuit for securespark too!

 

[securespark]

On a diet: give it to Mrs Secure!

I'm not sexually attracted to children although I often am to women, but I find this picture much nicer to look at than some of the Rubenesque paintings of naked ladies in my local art gallery. In my book it's art.

But it's still a naked child. Should society ever give the impression that it is OK the look at naked children? Or will this be used by pervs to justify their perversions?

I've looked at naked children many times and I thought it was OK.

Or will this be used by pervs to justify their perversions?

If they need to justify it then doesn't that mean that they know that it's wrong in the first place in which case the justification is meaningless?

Would you allow pictures of your naked children on the net then?

 

[megawatt]

Yes from me.

It's a good question. If it was for a valid reason (and I include art) then the only problem I would have would be one of consent. They may consent to it when young but what if they change their minds when they are older?

Renoir would have painted her fatter!

Oops! I do believe I got my artists mixed up! Make that Rubens.

 

[securespark]

What a pointless post.

Of course they're tiny and have nothing behind them. What were you expecting?

In fact, the very fact you've written that is something I find disturbing.

 

[joe-90]

I find it disturbing that you've looked too.

I haven't looked as I don't find images of naked children exciting.

 

[securespark]

You don't have to find something exciting to look at it.

Strange man.

 

[joe-90]

But you still looked didn't you? That's what child porn down-loaders do. But I guess that's OK is it?

 

[securespark]

Joe - this is boring: you're going back over old arguments you've had with others.

What makes child porn child porn is context & intent.

There is neither present in my case, so yes, it's OK to watch.
