Kids in latex, enfant terrible or Trevor Brown. Part I

Probably it was mostly the disturbing but yet rather attractive and erotic images of kids in latex, kids in bondage, kids playing bondage games with their toys, bruises and cuts, tortured dolls, “sinister innocence” and “paedophilia-paranoia which crossed the border of thought crime” what caused Trevor Brown to move to Japan. Though Japan always attracted him. Even for the Eastern people Japan looks like a separate planet, let alone people from the West.

Do you like manga? Move out of the US! Or: The Crime of Viewing Manga

Lawrence Allen Stanley is an American lawyer who made a career as a New York Attorney, defending in cases that included child pornography.

Experience in this area led Stanley to write articles on the subject of child pornography, notably “The Hysteria Over Child Pornography and Paedophilia”, later published in Playboy as “The Child Pornography Myth”.

It can be shopping, driving, jogging, wearing fur, high heels, latex, collecting stamps, match boxes, vintage cars. But then a strange thing happens. This strange thing is called “public opinion”, or PO.

PO decides what is appropriate and what is not. PO decided, that wool and cotton are appropriate, but latex and leather are not. PO decided that some materials and clothes are appropriate for women and some for men. PO decides what clothes are appropriate for what time and place.

As you can see there is absolutely no logic here. Just as there is mostly no logic in “public opinion” or “morality” (See also the “children pornography” post).

Just two examples. Continue reading “Public opinion, morality, fetish and kids or
fetish clothes to the office”
