1- It's an 1858 word and erotica has been around far far longer than that. They used the word as a desciptor to write about unseemly prostitutes to elicit a sexual reaction. My point was there was no need for the originating mentality based on class, that by default some people are better than other and have the right to judge others for their lifestyles. I said I didn't oppose anyone doing it. I contribute to art galleries and artists that display erotica (That's not my soul measure of quality, but it's not a hinderance). I agree that people should be able to participate in the consensual trade of their choosing, with a semblance of safety and in a taxable free market, without being stereotyped. Theory is one thing and practice is another, if you're a hooker or a porn star, you're not going to be perceived as an upstanding citizen most places. The question is which will change views first or easiest, true societal equality or natural human sexuality? I just figure it's easier to change what society feels is attractive would be easier to change than universal equality.
2-It is in err to not believe that a vast majority or adult males, by the very nature of natural mate selection , prefer young, clean attractive females. If you feel society in general, and particularly pornography, doesn't feed that culturall biased archetype, you should take a look at a porn site. I used to be addicted to porn (yes I said it's an addiction and not a choice) and if you look at a majority of the sites you'll have at least 5-8 entire categories of fetish relating to younger women. A natural attraction to young WOMEN(18-21), is a far cry from pedophelia, but it reenforces an unproductive societal archetype. For those that do cross that line you can't say constant input of categorically sexually stimulating material does form some substance of that drive. Also, if you think that pornography addicts aren't the driving primary force behind demand for child pornography (at some portion of the whole group) then I feel you're out of touch.
-side note: If my anology were false, it's at least both based on levels of sexual addiction, not apples and oranges as was yours.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
