in Australia, the age of consent is 16, but naked pictures of girls under 18 is illegal.

a bit of a grey loop hole there...

so anything under 18 is illegal.

there has been a rise in sexting where teenage girls aged between 13-18 and even younger and uploading naked pictures of themselves or pictures of them masturbating...

there needs to be more understanding of a male psych. especially the age of males aged between 18-25 that view such images...

for people to come here as if pedophila or ebhephilia is some kinw of shock... then know this...

In the United States, by the 1880s, most states set the age of consent at 10–12, and in one state, Delaware, the age of consent was only 7. A New York Times article states that it was still aged 7 in Delaware in 1895. Female reformers and advocates of social purity initiated a campaign in 1885 to petition legislators to raise the legal age of consent to at least 16, with the ultimate goal to raise the age to 18. The campaign was successful, with almost all states raising the age of consent to 16–18 by 1920.

it's not wrong for males to enjoy sweet younger girls. if we were all Neanderthals, as in the words of Eminem out of his hit song "Guilty Concience" (Yo, look at her bush.. does it got hair?). Men would wait until she showed signs of puberty and had sex with her with no problem of she got pregnant or not

the average age of consent around the world is 14

I'm not saying it should be legal for pictures of babies, toddlers, or preteens.

but there does need to be leniency in regards to the type of material, the age of the user or viewer and what age the person in the material is....

generalising it and handing out the same punishment is stupid...
