I look back over the replies and I have just two comments....

I have yet to see anyone differentiate between looking at porn and making porn. There is a huge difference in relating that distinction to the question, in my opinion.

Yeah, kiddie (Assume an age range of 13-17, any younger and you're not really interested "that way" in the opposite sex) porn is illegal and making it does some horrible things to kids mentally and physically. But....viewing kiddie porn, (again, understand the distinction that you're a kiddie yourself) seems to be completely harmless. As a viewer, you're simply seeing your peers the way you've been fantasizing about them. You didn't coerce or force them into doing anything at all, you're simply enjoying sexually explicit pictures for sexual gratification.

I enjoy adult pornography, but do I feel guilty knowing that the woman I'm ogling has been forced into doing this by her boyfriend/manager/economic status? Nope, I'm only looking to get off. I'm not interested in her personal situation; I'm solely interested in her physically.

Second, I've noticed quite a few comments about morality and illegality. The two are not mutally exclusive. Because it's illegal, then it must be morally wrong as well? Anal sex was illegal in some states until a few days ago, does that mean while it was illegal it was morally wrong for folks to engage in anal sex?

Is it illegal for a minor to be in possesion of porn? I don't think so (If I'm wrong, please correct me) I know it's illegal for them to buy porn, but that's the extent of my knowledge. I just think that teenagers should be exposed to porn. My father had a healthy stack of Playboys around the house that I looked at. My Uncle bought me my first box of condoms. I've been sexually smart since 15. To my credit there are no little "guthmunds" out running around and I've never contracted an STD. My sister, however, was never schooled in such things (She told me as much) and she's the proud parent of two kids by two different fathers and nursing a divorce; all at the ripe age of 23.

Are we exceptions to the rule?

Back to the topic......I don't think it's disgusting for a 16 year old to want to look at 16 year olds naked. If a 17 year old guy takes some naked pictures of his girlfriend (I would assume there is some kind of consent there) then what's the big deal? They've passed into sexually maturity and they didn't even need the law to tell them when.
