A recent article regarding this subject infuriated me: http://www.pornfreestreets.com/action/p ... d-porn.php
Along with this rumour (whether it's true or not, I do not know) that small breasted women (A cup) with youthful images are banned from porn in Australia because it resembles "child porn". Disgusting.
I feel strongly about this because I greatly enjoy age-play, I love dressing up in Schoolgirl attire, and dearly look forward to incorporating this into my shows when I start camming. I've been no stranger to splashing pics of myself on the net of myself in this kind of field. I always saw no reason not to: I'm legal, I'm consenting, I'm happy, my viewers are happy. But above all, I feel the strongest about how the rights of legal, consenting adults magically get thrown to the wind the moment a topic comes up which doesn't conform to mainstream tastes.
I don't for one second believe that a woman dressing as a Schoolgirl contributes to the molestation of children by paedophiles any more than a man watching generic porn will become a rapist. Masturbation is sexual release: a man who has off-beat fetishes, who watches legal, consenting individuals happily replicating that fetish for him, allowing him to get off to her doing that, proves satisfying for that man.
It takes a LOT of moral battering to turn a law-abiding citizen into a child molester or rapist, and I don't believe that watching any kind of pornography has the capacity to eradicate an individuals moral compass. It takes so much more than that. When we watch porn, we are usually aware that we are being given a performance - an erotic ideal is being acted out.
I don't believe it's generally believed or assumed on any level that when we watch a dominatrix "punishing" a man, that that man had perhaps been pulled from the street and is now being bound and gagged against his will on camera. We may like to fantasize that he has been! But we're fully and completely aware that it's fantasy. We should extend that same understanding towards people who engage in age-play, and the people who view it. People - regardless of their fantasies - deserve to be treated like human beings.
There are so many "what if?"'s when it comes to this, and I have no idea why. Sexual fantasies deserve to be taken seriously, the same as the rights of the people viewing them and performing them: if the viewer and performer are both of legal age and are consenting, there is NO problem.
Taking rights away from legal adults, for fear that it will contribute to something nasty in reality would be like banning video games. People enjoy all kinds of fantasies others may feel sickened by: rape play, age play, anal sex, gagging, domination, etc, etc. Those fantasies won't automatically just stop if we take away the rights of adults to entertain them. They'll likely not only persist, but grow, and - because an outlet for sexual release for them has been put up - result in that individual feeling much more sexually frustrated, unaccepted and misunderstood than before, incurring damage.
