let's face it....by 15 or 16 most females are no longer "children". they are well on their way through puberty, and may in fact have already reached their sexually mature state. once a woman has her first period, after all, she is capable of giving birth. in many countries around the world (and in fact, in many US states), a woman can get married, consent to sex, and have children at age 15 or 16 (or even younger). So why is it that we call pornography of anyone under 18 "child" pornography.
To me, "children" are something very different than teenagers.
Those who like to see actual child pornography are very sick, because children (it depends on the maturity of the individual in question, but typically I would define children as those under 14 or 15) are not yet sexually mature. Pedophilia is the attraction to PRE-pubescent children. PRE-pubescent. And yet law enforcement and the media seem to brand any one who looks at 15 or 16 year old pornorgaphy as a "pedophile". This is not true
