Well, community desires may be what they are, but there are all of ZERO legal issues here with anything but photography. You can read the Supreme Court rulings to see that imagry, fiction, and so on that does not involve actual minors is not legally considered to cover minors - even if it implies minors or uses drawing or digitally made images that resemble or are otherwise made to look like minors. If it isn't real, the law doesn't care about. Social values can go wherever they like on that however. Go to Korea and you will see naked baby boy pictures proudly displayed in the windows of every photo development shop and professional photo studio - families want to be proud of their sons, and so everyone takes a picture, and it's not seen in any odd light at all. Go back even ten years in the USA and the same holds true. Nearly every one of us who is an adult has a picture somewhere in our mother's photo album of us playing, swimming, bathing, or something. And nearly all of us have seen countless cupids, fairies, and so on. Even on TV I can see those naked babies in flowers and other similar artwork. Go back to paintings, and we can see countless pics of kids skinny dipping. Even the coppertone sun screen lotion logo is an example of this.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
