You must not be describing it very well. Provocative pictures of teenagers in swimsuits hardly seems "seriously perverse". It neither qualifies as child pornography under the law, nor would being attracted to that make somebody a pedophile.


"Provocative pictures of teenagers in swimsuits" is child pornography. It's the "provocative" part that's important. Even if there isn't any nudity, if the focal point is on the child's genitals and framed to elicit a sexual response in the viewer, it's considered pornographic.

These weren't candid shots of the beach. These were posed children. The reason I'm not describing them well is because it's making me uncomfortable to continuously describe them to people who are coming into this discussion with no idea what was posted. You have no idea how queasy I feel typing "child's genitals".


I'll have to take your word for it but I you'll have to understand that I am sceptical, considering child pornography was already banned from reddit.
