Ok...lets get at least one thing corrected.

The 'official' medically based definition of pedophilia is:

The Characteristics of Pedophilia

According to the DSM-IV definition, pedophilia involves sexual activity by an adult with a prepubescent child. Some individuals prefer females, usually 8- to 10-year-olds. Those attracted to males usually prefers slightly older children. Some prefer both sexes. While some are sexually attracted only to children, others also are sometimes attracted to adults.

==============

DSM-IV **Criteria for Pedophilia

** *Over a period of at least six months, recurrent, intense, sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children (generally age 13 or younger).

**The fantasies, sexual urges or behaviors cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning.

**The person is at least age 16 years and at least five years older than the child or children in Criterion A. Note: Do not include an individual in late adolescence involved in an ongoing sexual relationship with a 12- or 13- year-old.

============

The above are the three criteria involved in the process to determine pedophilia and must be present in order to diagnose someone as having the disorder...they also come with certain 'howevers' particularly the last criteria.

Quote - I see this all as a "proposed" problem.  Now I think i'd have a fit if my thirteen year old daughter came down from her room dressed in that thing......... however, she's all nice and real, and the outfit is polygons, it wouldn't work out.

I think its slightly rediculous that someone is harping an item, tossing gernalizations in a blanket over an entire community, over an item which, ........ may not even be used in the way described by the original poster.

Now.......  SHOW me where this item is being used to illicit child pornography, show me there's actual poser users spewing out all these child figures in bondage using THIS item...... and I'll get behind you.

Until then you are -guessing- what people will use it for.  Since you are the one imagining its implications, does that not mean that YOU are the pervert?  After all, you are the one comming up with the fetishised connotations, and not us.

Yanno you brought to mind something, I have two girls, 10 and 14 and their cousin who's 17 had a couple pair of those 'fetish' pants with all the straps and bits of chain wrapped around and off the pants waist and legs. My girls were dying for some too (too danged expensive for kids who'll grow out of em in a couple of months tho) ...I could actually see a teen using that harness over some kind of outfit as a fashion statement depending on the crowd they ran with...punketts, bat babies, anime wannabes and the like.

Ditto that exactly. I'm still five feet tall and I still have the boobs. Help! I've been stuck in a "She's a child. She's not a child! She's a child. She's not a child!" loop for 22 years. No wonder these topics get me all dizzy.

heh  Short stature has nada to do with it.  I'm 5'10", going to be 27 on Sunday...and I got carded last weekend at an 18+ show.  I get carded almost every time I buy liquor (unless I go to a small store in Jasper), and was actually shooed out of an adult lingerie shoppe 2 years ago.  And I've always thought I looked old.  :lol:

Believe me, you'll like having that mutant anti-aging gene when you hit my age (50) and look about 10 to 15 years younger than what the calandar insists on.

One advantage with being taller tho is the depth of your voice. Unless you're one of the rare ones, taller women tend not to have the child like voices that smaller women do....less likely to get the "Could you get your mommy or daddy please." bit on the phone.

Quote - > Quote - Meshes don't have parents....they aren't real. They're polygons.

No, yes it do! All of them have as parent the hip which has the BODY as parent.
And the UNIVERSE is the parent of parents.
If a mesh is orfan you can easily adopt a parent, just click in the menu "set parent"....

Ahhh....so Laura's (and the rest of em's) assigned momma/daddy is an alien from an alternate universe consisting of morphable polygonist hippies.

No wonder they need harnessessesses.

I'm 5'2"

When I was 21 and in the military, my boyfriend (now hub) had to bring his daughter in for a dental appointment. The guy behind the desk looked at the kid (who was 8 at the time, she's now 38), looked at me, looked at my man and asked him "Which one?"

Quote -

As for the figure looking grown up, I don't see it. Physically, she is no more developed than my 14 year old daughter, and her face looks like the results of an amateur facepainter at a school fete.

Yes, a mesh can be morphed, but when this bit of gear is available for so many adult female figures, what is the point of producing it for a child?

Shoots...That mesh is more developed than my 23 year old niece....or my 46 year old sister-in-law. Both of em are A-cups.

Since when is a small busted short woman considered a child? Do big boobs alone make the distinction? If that's the case I was an adult at 11 'cause I was bigger busted than that mesh.

Just because it's a mesh designated as a 'millennium teen' doesn't make the mesh an actual 'teen' otherwise character makers would be up on charges for plastic surgery on kids without the parent's permission.

Oh....

Wait...

Meshes don't have parents....they aren't real. They're polygons.

Poor little parentless polygons.

Eh???

Ay!! AY!!!! Get back here with that yak!!

Bloody weird T'salagi...were'd ya find a pewter yak anyways....

trudges back to the bar

Quote - Peers or pees? :lol:

Get close enough to the yaks and it'll be both.

*peers in the pot...takes a sniff

Smells like yak

Both kinds.

It's Trekkie's fault.

She summoned, got, and now he's dropping hellfire and embers all over the forums.

Not to mention the stray yaks smokin them joints.
