My problem with our laws has more to do with the crimes that don't have victims. - Individual in high school takes provocative picture of themselves and sends it to their significant other... pedophile. - Person writes story involving underage sex... pedophile - Person draws picture involving underage sex... pedophile - Take a picture of sexual situations with someone that looks underage, but isn't... pedophile These things (arguably?) don't have real victims, yet people have their lives ruined over them. There's also the argument that being a pedophile is a mental condition. The fact that a person with such a condition can use fictional (stories, drawings, etc) material to mitigate their desire for actual damaging materials can be considered (once again, not with argument) a good thing; they are aware they have a problem and are looking to handle it in a way that does not cause harm to others. Note: I'm a father of a young daughter, the very concept of young children being harmed by pedophilia sickens me. But the fact that a teenage boy can have their life ruined because their girlfriend (voluntarily) texted them a provocative picture is almost as horrible.
