I'm thinking Catholic priest here for some reason.

But seriously, I'm thinking Catholic priest here for some reason.

Repressing sexuality, as with most forms of repression, will lead to an explosion at some point in time. And it most likely won't be so pretty.

As far as photos and artwork of children go, it's the intent of the artist and/or viewer that makes it porn, I say. Sure, with some, the intent is so obvious, it's going to be considered porn no matter who looks at it. But a mom getting arrested for snapping a picture of little Jane in her first ever bath just shouldn't be. Same theory goes for the looking at it. Jane's mom sees said photo and only thinks, "aww!! my precious angel". But dillweed pedophile in the photo lab gets hold of it and makes a beeline for the bathroom stall. The eye of the beholder, as it were.

But for myself, I conclude with this- if any hint of sexuality is to be included in any way by anyone, leave the children out of it.
