Does this mean I am going to be arrested if I take pictures of my newborn daughter taking her first bath?

How about 4 years from now, when she puts on her shirt, hat, and shoes, doesn't put on her pants, and runs around the house, and I take a picture because it's so cute?

Those are both descriptions of pictures taken of me when I was a child. I'm sure situations are going to come up that are similar to those with my daughter.

The question of intent has to mean something. If they are obvoiusely sexual pictures, then that is wrong. But, there are ways to take pictures that are not made to cause arousal, but yet have naked people in them. I see no problem with those. The problem lies in the people that get aroused by them.
