An interesting observation I once heard from a talk show commentator
is that we (society in general or the US public in particular?) consider
child porn the most evil of all crimes, and completely unforgivable.
While at the same time our advertising groups continue to require younger
and younger models in more and more revealing situations.

The above comment does not condone said activity.

Obviously it's a difficult subject, but I don't think the answer lies in
denying the sexual attractions that are an inbuilt part of the species.

If we ban all "erotic" images (define that, please?) we will only create
higher profits for making those images available. I just don't think that
denying what we are or what we feel is part of the answer.

The answer is neither black nor white, but somewhere in the gray area between.

Of course, We are each entitled to our own opinions.
