ok, I'm going to voice my thoughts here.
First, I have never seen pictures of child pornography, but I would guess those pictures are not only those of children engaging in explicit sex acts.
Take for instance, typical pictures of women posed naked, not in the "artsy" sense, but with the intent to arouse, even though no genital are exposed, or no sex acts being done.
That's not strictly pornography in my mind, but it's somewhat pornographic, if that makes sense
The line is blurred. For someone not interested in becoming aroused, at least at that moment, the picture of the woman may be simply beautiful. Or, for someone else, it can cause arousing thoughts, and perhaps they will seek out further pictures, perhaps more explicit.
I feel that is the case in the picture of the children. Especially the girl on the right.
In my opinion, this girl is too old to be photographed in the nude. The boy on the left, I feel is at the borderline age.
Do I think like a pervert? Well, yes, I suppose I do. In the case of child safety, I believe that's a very good thing to be able to do.
If a ped saw those pictures, would he become aroused? Wouldn't surprise me a bit.
nick said anyone finding something sexual about this picture should seek help....very true. I believe a ped would find more than one thing sexual about this picture, and they should indeed seek help.
I don't think a pair of underwear or bathing suit on those kids would have hurt the innocence of that picture one bit.
