But that applies to adults too. So I must agree that we're back to the question of the validity in pornography as a whole. Anyway, that's what I said in the beginning - and we're still there.

Unfortunately, you're probably right.
I believe that sex with children was once "normal" within the Roman Empire. Also, adult men's sexual gratification with young boys is often "common place" today in many Islamic cultures where premarital sex is strongly forbidden. Although I don't believe the practice of molesting boys is "officially" accepted it must almost certainly be more readily tolerated than having sex with women - before marriage.
