17 is indeed a child.
We agree completely, when it comes to porn. Some people, though, when hearing the terms "child porn" or "kiddie porn" will think only of prepubescent persons. Such folk need to know that an adult-looking 17-year-old is still a minor and a having a nude photo of such carries a heavy sanction. This site has a well-written rule about this:
- If a torrent is posted from a studio known to use underage models or if the minimum age of a youthful appearing actor cannot be confirmed to be at least 18 years of age, we reserve the right to remove such content. If you are uploading torrents for videos or pictures for which the original producer or distributor is unknown, then the models must also look over 18 as well as be over 18 years old.
As you suggest, drawing age lines is tricky, and will never satisfy everyone. I recall a conversation with a colleague some year back who grew up in one of the US states where he said he could (legally) drive farm equipment around his farm at 14, drive a car on public roads at 16, vote and go into military service at 18, buy alcohol at 21, and rent a car at 25. One could argue for or against each of those lines, but they still need to be drawn.

@eobox91103 I have seen hispanic males as young as 9 years old with full mustaches! I have also seen asian men who look like children!
I think the primary reason for the laws against underage sexuality is because they don't want girls getting pregnant - which is not only financially devastating and emotionally devastating but life threatening to the girl.
My advice is that nobody should have sex with girls until the girls are at least 30 years old! (and even then)

That's probably a large part of the reason--people in younger age groups are not fully aware of the consequences of their actions, and hence, in legal terms, can't give consent to having sex.
When in comes to underage porn, the problem is even greater: A 15-year-old enticed by financial payment to be nude or have sex in front of a camera will almost certainly not be aware of the damage this can do to him in later life--as they say, the internet is forever. There have been several "pornograhers," most infamously Sebastian Bleisch, who took shameful advantage of this. Surprisingly, Mr. Bleisch [in Germany] received a sentence of only two and half years. In Canada or the US, it would have been much longer.

And thank you, I don't. I'll say "child porn".
Euphemisms won't wash, in world where people say "He's just a boy" of someone at 25.
17 is indeed a child. Late stage, on the line. But yes.I recall a conversation with a colleague some year back who grew up in one of the US states where he said he could (legally) drive farm equipment around his farm at 14, drive a car on public roads at 16, vote and go into military service at 18, buy alcohol at 21, and rent a car at 25.

Change my mind mates, but as a neuro professional, I think the adulthood, obligations and responsabilities must be upped to 25 years.
Our brains before 25 years ARE NOT fully developed.
The system is only taking advange of 18-25 years """"adults"""" to get employees, soldiers, etc... because they're young and at some point stupid, manipulables (their brain, again is not fully developed yet). Nicaragua had its adulthood in 21 years but in 2023 they unfortunately downed to 18.
Respecting the sexual consent must be established as relative (allowed if the age is not so distant from each other) is not fair a 18 years kid go to prison because they had sex with a 17 years old kid... and also is not fair a 45 years old man having sex with a 18 years old kid... it is just insane.
Austin and other old men are sexual predators that had no consequences because the law allow it, because in fact, until your brain is not fully developed you're a kid.
Sexual experiences being kid aren't bad even, they aren't bad when you do it with your friends, boyfriends and/or cousins (yeah, it is so common that 1st sexual experience is with cousins) with your age or close... but... neurosciences (in general all science and technology) is by far more advanced than laws.

I agree with what you're saying, and that many institutions take advantage of "adults" 18+ who can be easily manipulated into doing almost anything. The Hitler Youth comes to mind, and even today's militaries have similar features.
It would, though, be a wrenching transformation for societies to move "adulthood" to 25, even though there's good reason to do so. If you have some references to studies on how this might be done, I'd be interested to read them.
My initial concern in this thread, as a legal professional, was that I didn't want people to assume that illegal "kiddie porn" or "child porn" only referred to prepubescents.
As you say, sexual experiences among rather young people is not uncommon (my first was at 11--and so was the other guy), but those occasions are almost never prosecuted unless coercion was involved. In fact, very often prosecutors will invoke what is often called a "Romeo and Juliet rule" that dismiss a statutory rape charge when the age difference between the parties is less than 2-3 years, and each party gave de facto consent to the degree that they could.

@blablarg18 an infant is a million times worse, but the penalties for an infant and for someone 2 months short of being legal are the same
