I can't believe the op asked this stupid question. A "minor" can't give informed consent. And with all the other things stacked against children, it's stupid to exploit them in this way whether someone deems it sexual or not.

I remember a photographer though can't recall his name right now that took nude photos of children and exhibited them as art and it was disgusting and definitely sexual.

And if you have read the enite conversation, you will see that this is not a "stupid question". Its pretty much been concluded in the past 10 pages of debate that the judgement of the content would have to be evaluated case by case before making any calls on whether it is acceptable or not. For instance, its gererally not accepted if the photograph depicts a young girl with her legs wide open and sucking on a banana. However, it would be more than likely be accepted if a photo depicted the girl playing in the family pool with her mother or something.

And as far as the art situation, there are examples that CAN be concidered art. For example...

The above photograph depicts nothing sexual. But then again I suppose it would depend on the individual. And if you could possibly perceive it as something sexual, then you've got some issues. But THEN AGAIN, we've discussed this over the past 10 pages. I'm sure you would have known that had you actually read them.

Maybe you have to ask yourself why the kid had to be nude in the picture.
 
Possibly it was a situational thing. No one knows except for the child, the photographer, and any witnesses. So I cannot answer your questions without full understanding of this exact photograph. However, to many, there is a NON-SEXUAL beauty to the human body. But I'm not going to sit here and recite what has already been brought up. Just go back and read.

I know what has been said. I just don't agree. What's non-sexual about the human body ? If people find this kid more beautiful in the nude than with clothes on then that is questionable in my opinion.

It's just wrong to put pictures of nude children on the internet as they cannot give consent yet. Would you put a snapshot of your kid in the nude on the internet ?

Depends on the photo and the situation.
 
Fact is that though the child cannot give consent, the parent can. Nude photo's of children are not illegal as long as the photograph does not depict anything sexually explicit.

Yea, but I suspect we are not talking about law here but rather about morality.

And morals differ from person to person. What one may concider as appropriate, another may not.

There are morals most people agree on though. Anyway, if morals differ from person to person I don't know what the argument is about.. :shrug:

Concider gay rights. Many feel that homosexuals should be allowed to share the same rights as heterosexual couples. And some feel as though homosexuality is immoral and should not be accepted and equivalized.

Even then, according to the attached poll 43% of the people voted Yes and 57% voted no. Though one does outweigh the other, they are nevertheless fairly split. This is just one of those topics that differ from person to person.

I see a difference between thepicture of your toddler naked and playing in the bath that your gonna pull out and show his girlfriend when hes 19, and the pictures of nude children in an artistic manner that makes the artist money. Despite the fact that they may not be inherently sexual doesnt negate the fact that money is being made off them, and the child doesnt really have a clear understanding of what is taking place.

I agree. Pulling pictures out of a family album for a joke one day is one thing though, posting them on the internet is totally different to me.
