Attached Link: International Ages of Consent

Well. If you're in California - then anything under 18 is jailbait. If you're in Spain... it's 13. Yes. 13. So images viewed by a Spaniard will be judged differently by them to images viewed by a Californian who will likely be shocked at anything looking 16.

The international age of consent is - on average - 16.

Check out that chart I've linked some time. It's a bit of an eye opener. (I always thought all of USA was 18, but looks like I was wrong.)

I think the whole judgement of apparent age is off, really. Because the apparent age of 13 will be fine (legally, not necessarily morally) in Spain, but not in Peru.

Art is subjective and open to interpretation. And there will always be someone who interprets a nude picture to be porn, regardless of who created it, or what it depicts, or it's context. To some people a cigar is not just a cigar and never will be.
But I honestly do not see a problem with a cutesey face on a lush body. I mean, take Vanessa Paradis and Kate Moss for instance.
Both have (had) very childlike faces and yet... no one would condemn the magazines (or the photographers) for printing the pictures as "underage".
I just have to look at Vogue covers.

That's a baby face, if you ask me. (And she's probably no older than 15 anyway)
I don't see anyone complain about her being on a cover or strutting her stuff in a skimpy bikini or with one boob hanging out on a catwalk. After all. It's "fashion". (which doesn't make it right)
I think what I hate most about the entire "beauty / childlike" debate is the fact that there are so many double standards.
