First! (maybe?)

Interesting discussion topic. I suppose like most things it depends on the intent. There are kids in high school who get aroused by the anatomical diagrams but is that their intent?

In some ways they are similar in that they are about power relationships. WIth AR, the older (more mature) person has the power. However, is this inherently wrong? Many people are into dominatrix/masochistic fetishes and this isn't labeled as wrong. Many men only date short women and vice versa. Is that wrong?

I think the difference is that most AR involves a mature mind that can give consent and that makes it unique. Can you show that in a picture? Well, on here that's not a problem as the situation is evident that it's an altered state and the person is not a true child. However, taking that further into say a picture of a man and his AR wife on the street, it will look to be a man and his daughter per se. That could be seen by the outside observer as strange.
