Hawke,

It's very difficult really to determine at what age someone is capable of deciding how sexual, or otherwise, they want to be at the present. Some individuals mature physically and/or mentally so much earlier than others.

I think what you're trying to ask here is - is it kiddy porn? Well, if she's 'tied up and stuff' in such a way to be considered titillating, then I'd say it is, if she's not, then I'd say it isn’t. Whether, or not, she’s been depicted in a sexual manner of course would always be a grey area of censorship.

By the way, I’m totally for censorship involving anything to do with prepubescents. I don’t like it at all – not one little bit. I can’t stand the idea of authors, film makers, or anyone else pandering to the needs of these people. It makes sick even to think about it. If I had my way every single one of them would have their balls hacked off with a rusty tin can so they could never breed.

But I digress. It’s all a bit hard really isn’t it? I mean what’s sexual to one person may not be to another. A friend of mine confessed to me once that he finds nothing more sexually exciting than a woman wearing brogues. No, spiky heeled stilettos for him, no, big heavy black or brown brogues. Go figure. So, we can really only determine these things in very general terms.
