Hi Archangel, welcome!

If you're in the U.S., you can read more about the CP laws here and how they relate to simulated acts of sex involving minors:

From what I've read, you could potentially be in some hot water for producing the images you're talking about, as there are sanctions in some states against producing CP even when it doesn't involve real children. I hope you'll be careful about posting anything that could get you into trouble. The most important thing is keeping yourself safe.

Do you mind my respectfully asking what you gain from posting photos of your dolls engaging in simulated sex acts, and what you would gain by posting photos involving you with them? Is it a sense of community with others who share your desires, a form of sexual release, or something else? I ask because I question the value of such images, especially when they are distributed in public places, and consumed by people who are strangers to you. Many people here share your love and respect for children (you might consider posting in the general paraphilia forum, as there is much more traffic there), and I certainly honor those feelings, but I do wonder what message these kinds of photos send, and what values they embrace.

As a child, I enjoyed very much the close friendship of adult men, but if I found such photographs in their possession, I admit I'd have felt confused and intimidated by them. As an adult, I feel uneasy about the objectification they represent. I understand that my question isn't related to your post, so please excuse my bad manners; but if you care to share your thoughts, I'd be interesting in learning more about your point of view.

In any case, welcome to the forum!

In Canada it would be considered child porn, you can refer to the law here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_porn ... _in_Canada

"Prohibition covers the visual representations of sexual activity by persons (real or imaginary) under the age of 18 years and the depiction of their sexual organ/anal region for a sexual purpose, unless an artistic (see: artistic merit), educational, scientific, or medical justification can be provided and the court accepts it."

Key problem with your images: imaginary, under the age of 18 years.

The law also includes written depictions (fiction, etc), characters, and cartoon (anime/manga) images.

No matter what site hosts your images, you could still be charged with possession and production of CP. Please be careful!

I understand your reasoning, and the positive intentions behind it, but I do disagree. If someone is likely to put their own satisfaction above the needs of others, I believe that there is no alternative "outlet" that will stop them from doing just that. Those who are in control of their actions will remain in control, barring mental illness or otherwise extraordinary circumstances.

I think what troubles me about pornography in general is that it promotes the idea that objectifying strangers is a neutral act. I've posted my opinions on this matter elsewhere on the forum, so I won't bore you with the details of my position, but I simply worry about the effects of objectification, specially when it's sexual, on both the people who engage with it and those who are represented in it (in this case, children).

It's natural to want to share your proclivities with others, especially when you can't act them out in reality. But I worry that what is being shared isn't the love for and admiration of children, but the desire to use them as objects. I know that's not your intention, but it is how many will view your images. Your nobler motives will be obscured by the nature of the images themselves. Does that make sense?
