RE: Nampa ‘sexter’ could face charges
Aliasjax:
Explain to her that exposing her breasts is not the worst thing in the
world. In fact, only in America and a very few other prudish countries
are a woman’s breasts that big of a deal. Then maybe send her on a
vacation where she can sunbathe topless to help her get over her
artificial religious-cultural induced shame. Then, when she gets home,
help her understand that most American teenage boys don’t have her now
liberated view of the female form, and that photographing her breasts
and texting the image to such a boy will only result in his acting like an idiot…
Question: Are teen-age boys in America the only ones who don’t have a liberated view of bare breasts or the female form?

My opinion, the advertising and entertainment industries have created the perfect body fixation over the last 100 years, so it is not just boys but most men that have a “breast” fixation. Having said that, if you are going to flaunt it, I’ll look!

Pretty much, yes.. but then, I like to keep abreast of the international debate around this issue.

Ajax,
I don’t understandlize how anybody can rationalize child porn?
Sure there are worse things in the world. It is still wrong. You’re going down a slipperly slope by trying to shrug it off as boys being boys and no big deal.
Would you care if your 16-year-old daughter was flashing her breasts to the world?
