Nice over simplification there.

Sexual imagery is not always pornography. By your (very basic) logic, this would mean that every book which contains a sex scene, no matter how contextual, or infers that characters have sex is a work of pornography or contains pornography.

In addition to this, 'under the age of eighteen' does not equal 'child'- the term you're looking for is 'age of consent'. Age of consent is not set, worldwide, at eighteen. It varies between countries, at times between states/territories as well as on the basis of gender and also, at times, sexuality. Therefore while you, for instance, might live in a country in which eighteen is the age of consent, a person reading a fanfic- for example- in a country where the age of consent is sixteen would not perceive work involving characters of that age as 'child pornography.

And putting these two little theories of yours together, would seem to imply that every work featuring a teenager having sexual thoughts, or comitting sexual acts is a work of child pornography. This is absurd. Plenty of YA novels feature (non-descriptive) sex scenes, novels exist in which a young character might be raped/sexually abused in the context of the novel- not as a source of titillation but as part of a characters backstory, or in order to address a particular situation or, heaven forbid, actually handle the topic of teenage sexuality with something approaching maturity.

Have fun in that little monochrome bubble of yours.
