That includes stuff like buying used schoolgirl underwear, which is a good example of something that isn't child porn, but still arguably falls within the subject.
Arguably.
/insert random arguments about hollywood, eastern european countries lack of policing, snapchat tweenagers, and going any given video website (pornhub, for ex.) to 'recently uploaded' and you can find *ahem* youngest pornstars. Until someone hits the report button.
The internet is ....
WAIT A DAMN SECOND I POSTED THAT 14 YEARS AGO!
MY COMMENT IS 4 YEARS AWAY FROM LEGALITY! lol
So, anywho. The net is like Las Vegas. It used to be different, less family friendly. These days you can still find goatse.cx, you can still find whatever... but there are FAR more eyes/tracking on you.
Going back to the name of the topic.. and speaking as my younger self, who was looking for girls my age.. at any age..
It wasnt hard to find 13 year old girls when I was 13.
It wasnt hard to accidentally find younger stuff when I was 18-21.. and from semi-reputable TGP sites like link-o-rama... or random media sites like stileproject, Leenks, uselessjunk, etc. You scroll to the bottom to find another site with different content, and 10 clicks later you are in illegal land? How tf did that happen?
These days? It isnt hard to find ENDLESS BULLSHIT! Old ladies dressed up as schoolgirls, pornstars ETERNALLY acting like they are 18.. and if you want actual people with actual ages, you get girls who have no real taste for it ~ camwhores who want you to BUY THEIR PREMIUM SNAPCHAT!
.. and a month later they changed their mind and deleted their stuff.
Weak AF camwhores make 80s and 90s pornstars look liike goddamned champions, I tell ya!
So arguably is arguable. The audience for it is out there and they dont care about the consequences. And arguably, a lot of that audience falls into the politician and law enforcement categories.. statistically, even.
/teachers would hate me for not providing references, but as above mentioned.. trackers and eyes on me and I'm not about to google younger porn statistics, for reasons. lol
I dont believe the age will fall, no. But developed nations are the main consumers, and developing nations are quite the providers.
