Internet exhibitionsim?

---

In reply to:I know it goes on, I'm just wondering how it could be so common unless its not illegal (or is never enforced). It's an interesting topic, and it definitely doesn't have clear boundaries. In most countries, exhibitionism or exposing yourself publicly, is illegal. One could argue that exposing yourself on a publicly accessible webcam is exhibitionism too, and should be illegal. But willingly exposing yourself on a webcam viewable by the public is not illegal. I'm not sure if someone under the age of 18 exposes themselves on their own webcam vieweable by the public is considered illegal, since they are voluntarily doing so. I don't think the law is clear on this. I haven't heard of any cases of minors getting in trouble with the law for exposing themselves on webcams. What's also not clear is if a minor views another minor on a webcam masturbating or naked is illegal? It would be illegal for an adult to view such a webcam (assuming the adult knows its a minor), but would it be illegal for another minor to view it? Not clear. What is illegal is for an adult to view a webcam of a minor who is exposing themselves, when that adult knows it is a minor on the webcam. It becomes more tricky when the minor lies about their age (saying they're 18 or older when they're really not), and the adult viewing the webcam doesn't know they are really viewing a minor. These cases can be almost impossible to prove either way. My guess is law enforcement doesn't bother with these cases, and instead focuses on trying to nail sexual predators who are asking minors to do sexual things on a webcam, trading pictures or videos of minors, or trying to meet minors in person for sexual acts. Which I agree is where the focus should be. There is a real threat to kids with sexual predators trying to get them to do things through their webcams. But is there a threat to kids when there is a minor masturbating in front of their webcam willingly (i.e. no one asked them to do so), and having fun doing so?

In reply to: perfect (libertarian) That's an oxymoron!

It's anonymous until somebody recognizes you.

In reply to: perfect (libertarian) that's an oxymoron! So is perfect capitalism, communism, etc, etc... They are all good ideas until you bugger them up by adding people to the equasion

Hey, I'm being dissed to the second degree.By "perfect (libertarian)", I was rhetorically referring to a world where, if two adults consent to do something with each other that won't harm others, and the consent is informed, no one would bother them. The real world is a lot more complicated than that (outside of Holland). There will be endless debate over the word "harm" (e.g., to society?). And some people will find some acts so distasteful that they don't think anyone should be allowed to do them (e.g., sodomy in Georgia).And of course children can't give informed consent.unsupervised, a word maven like you must understand that "perfect" is not a synonym for "really, really good"; e.g., "perfect evil".

SteveA you a teacher???? (just being nosey)

Are you kidding? I'd piss off the school board and get fired inside of five minutes.

Nope, just a pedantic, didactic engineer who specializes in such dry subjects as digital signal processing, rhythm guitar, Swedish massage, and political musing.

I don't actually know anything. I just read a lot.
