For parental->child relations, it is illegal as a parent has power over a child that compromises informed consent.

"An attack on character, and not on the argument." "I don't need an argument"
Kinda isn't an ad hominem without one.
Please learn definitions of terms you post.
Effects add up over time. It's not a 1-generational plan.
We accrue negative mutations all the time. We don't notice, because before us have come millions of generations. But that doesn't mean the effects are meaningless, or useless. Evolution brought us from liposomes to humans, after all, with the very same mechanism
Wasn't being witty. It's true, I really don't do porn because I find it morally reprehensible. The concept of sexual acts for no emotional attachment is startling.
And I don't give two fucks for culture. If it's baseless, I would like it to die. We're better than that, making up random shit so we can be controlled by those who make the rules.
Especially since you didn't even read it.
And from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ParaphiliaIf a sexual fetish causes significant psychosocial distress for the person or has detrimental effects on important areas of their life, it is diagnosable as a paraphilia in the DSM and the ICD.[2] Many people embrace their fetish rather than attempting treatment to rid themselves of it, especially in an age where they can easily find communities of like-minded people via the internet.
Thanks for proving my original point.Paraphilia (from Greek para παρά = beside and -philia φιλία = friendship, meaning love) describes the experience of intense sexual arousal to highly atypical objects, situations, or individuals.[1] Examples include sexual interests that can motivate committing sexual offences—such as pedophilia, zoophilia, sexual sadism, and exhibitionism—
So incredibly ironic.

Selfish? Lacking compassion? You suddenly know me? You suddenly know what I want, who I am, and how I feel about this topic?
I argue for logic. Not for my opinion. The world would be a better place if others could do the same.
As for your point, assuming benevolence the only exploitation that's happening is exploitation of the older individual. A trade of immaterial goods for material goods. Sex for resources and protection. A fair trade, only when human emotion mediates it. Otherwise, the child is stealing.

I would not consider the pleasure gained from porn to be equivalent to the happiness gained from social interaction and belonging.
If you were to make that argument, you would be assuming that the benefits of porn are equivalent to the benefits of a relationship with a significant other.
And what evidence backs this fact? I'm always willing to let people change my mind.

I already explained that, and you had no response.
You're better than this, Ruke. At least, I thought you were. But resorting to snide side-comments without even attempting to address my argument looks pretty bad.
The point is you can't define pedophilia under a fetish based on that first link I gave you. That pretty much crumbles your original point.
As for the rest, yeah sure, all the A=B, B=C, C=D, therefore A=D probably makes you feel pretty clever. You haven't even considered the sheer range of subjects something as vague as Paraphilia encompasses.
" There is no consensus for any precise border between unusual personal sexual tastes and paraphilic ones, and multiple, overlapping definitions exist."

I thought you actually used logic.
