I haven't searched for either of these items, and have no plans to, so can't say where they fall specifically.

However, let us not forget the lessons of Robert Mapplethorpe.
I totally understand that and follow the same guidelines. I honestly have thought innoccet until proven guilty with MJ but I did search for the book, which the attornies said is legal. I saw the images.

You have to ask yourself something. .. if you were a kid in the movie Lord of the Flies.. and you looked back today and saw a book with you n'kd with a bunch of other b'ys, you'd have to ask yourself... why?

Mind you... not just one or two photos either in the 400 picture book.. a LOT.

I have a son. I believe in the innocence of youth. I wish I could have had a carefee childhood.. but I don't have stuff like that.

You're right.. there is a fine line. Even talking about it makes everyone suspect, but it's something that needs talking about I think. Different cultures have different beliefs as well, but after seeing the images in the book, it's really very clear where it's leading you. IMO

You mentioned Robert Mapplethorpe. The only contraversy I remember about him was the "pornography" pics in the museum. Soft core porn if I remember. I don't remember hearing anything about him and photos of k'ds?
