Why age play is illegal porn
Age play is illegal porn because of anti-child exploitation laws. However, age play does NOT involve actual children, it’s role-play between consenting adults. For example, a 40-year-old woman dresses up and acts like a preteen child while her spouse, who is also 40 years old, pretends to be her much older father. Their game might end in some form of penetrative sex. If it’s porn, it’s absolutely going to result in hardcore sex.
NB: It must be made clear that this article is neither an argument for real kiddie porn nor a plea for leniency against those who are found guilty of harming children. Children are our future and safeguarding their innocence is important to a functioning society.
Many different social movements have invoked the expression, “my body, my choice!” Equally, multiple activist groups assert their right to freedom of speech. Unfortunately, the past 3 years has taught us that neither “right” nor “freedom” is exclusively ours to determine. We stop having body autonomy when it interferes with state agendas and/or corporate profits. Freedom of speech is similarly labeled misinformation and quickly censored, when it threatens the wealthy and ruling hierarchies. Yet, many of those who are members of the powerful elite social strata, are the most titillated and heavy consumers of age play sex games and porn. Ironically, it’s this same group of individuals, who pass the laws that declare age play is illegal porn.
Any sex worker can find a 20-year-old woman that looks like she’s 13
Recently in the media, the case of child abuse involving Jeffry Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell became well known. But where the term pedophilia is used for any minor attraction, the people identified in these cases were young teens, not prepubescent. Technically, attraction to pubescent children is hebephilia, but to the public at large, it is all pedophilia. From a sex workers perspective, with the amount of money and political connection that Epstein and Maxwell enjoyed; we’re left asking, “Why not just find a 20 year old woman who looks like she could be 13?”
Is it because age play is illegal porn that CSAM continues to be popular? There are organizations that claim watching adult porn can lead to someone becoming fascinated by kiddie porn. Most people in the porn industry will argue otherwise because by the nature of their jobs, they’re inundated with adult porn. Yet, they don’t start becoming sexually attracted to or even curious about children. From a layman’s perspective, clearly, other factors are at play.

In the United States, depending on the jurisdiction, the age of consent can be as young as 16. However, for the porn industry, it’s always 18. Videos titles such as “Barely Legal” and “Try a Teen” have always proven to be popular. Fresh off-the-bus girls often receive their first lessons on how to pose for stills in such a way as to convey youth and innocence. Both men and women (including women who identify as heterosexual) are highly attracted to seeing nude youthful girls, even more so than their young male colleagues. It always has to stop short of any performer saying on camera that they’re younger than 18 because doing so would be illegal. (Ergo, age play is illegal porn.)

What constitutes age of consent has changed over the years. These changes are most profound between cultures. As little as 150 years ago, it wasn’t so rare to have girls who were married by 13 years of age and having children by 14. To even mention the possibility of such a pair bonding today would bring out hoards of angry people with accusations of child abuse. Perhaps this is the reason why society considers age play illegal porn. Today’s 18-year-old girl probably has more sexual experience than one from 200 years ago, but her maturity level can be very much lacking. Many have the know-how and willingness to do everything that a 40-year-old woman can do in the bedroom. While mentally they’re still children playing pretend with life-sized dollies.
Lacking substantial research, it can only be speculated that this paradox between experience and innocence is the root cause of minor attraction. It’s also the reason many old-school pornographers are in favor of seeing the legal age to do porn raised to 21 (or even higher). Inexperience and innocence make a powerful aphrodisiac for dominance role play. But for those like Epstein and Maxwell, the illusion isn’t good enough, only real innocence will suffice. Too bad lawmakers, in their lack of understanding, lump everything together and have declared that age play is illegal porn.
