I recommend everyone stop using the term child porn and describe what it is as child abuse
The problem with doing this, apart from it being completely unnecessary, is that it is imprecise. Child porn and child abuse are two different things. Yes, the making of child porn may entail child abuse, but porn is different from abuse. Porn involves sexual arousal, which is not necessarily going to happen in cases of abuse. Porn is usually published, in the sense of being shared widely, whereas abuse is often a private affair that is hidden from others.
It should be called child sexual abuse material. I think calling it child porn cheapens what is really occurring.
You sound like someone who enjoys child abuse material. Any "porn" made with children is abuse.
