Should this new text be included?

• I saw a front-page article in today's Daily Telegraph, and from it I was tempted to add the following to section Child pornography#Child sexual abuse in production and distribution:-
  • In April 2018 there was a British newspaper front-page report saying that the proportion of pedophilic images found that were made by children (by photographing or filming each other or as selfies) without adults, by imitating adult pornography or nudity that they had found in the internet), was 31% from November 2017 to February 2018, with 40% in December 2017; 349 cases in January 2017 and 1717 in January 2018.
  • But as child pornography and pedophilia are risky topics, I thought that I better ask first.

Daily Telegraph, Wednesday 18 April 2018, page 1 (bottom right corner) and page 2.

Anthony Appleyard, given that child pornography can be defined broadly to include late teenagers who snap pictures of one another, an aspect that is already mentioned in the article (in the Sexting section), I would state no. An image of a naked 17-year-old is not a "pedophilic image." Even the term "pedophilic image" is problematic.

Legitimus, any thoughts? Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 01:44, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

I do see that the source mentions 11-15 year-olds. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 01:50, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

• @Flyer22 Reborn and Legitimus: I am very sorry if I have given any wrong impression here. I have NO inappropriate interests, thank God. Here in England the topic of pedophilia (spelled "paedophilia" in British spelling) and related subjects are wearisomely familiar to nearly everybody through being repeatedly trumpeted and plastered at length over the ordinary newspapers (including their front pages) and television news until I get weary of reading and hearing about it, and more so since the Jimmy Savile affair blew up. The newspaper article that I mentioned, with a large headline, 2 columns wide, stared at me from the bottom right corner of the front page of the Daily Telegraph (a main-field British newspaper) as soon as I picked it out of its rack in my local newspaper shop. (After the Jimmy Savile sensation had run on endlessly, dominating the news, I was thankful when the 2013 horse meat scandal blew up, because it gave the newspapers and the television news something else and not sexual, to sensationalize about.) If you decide not to include this matter, then feel free not to include it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:15, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Anthony Appleyard, you haven't given me any wrong impression. I'm familiar with you from WP:Requested moves, and your proposal struck me as innocent. I was simply expressing concern about the proposal because children and teenagers taking nude pictures of themselves and/or one another has been criticized when it comes to be categorized as child pornography. The minors usually do not have the same intent as the adults, and there are cases where teenagers get branded sex offenders when their intentions were not at all the same as actual sex offenders (as noted in the Sexting section). So I was wondering about us including your text as "production and distribution." There's also a WP:NOTNEWS aspect to it. And by "not pedophilic image," I meant that pedophilia is not about a sexual interest in clearly pubescent or post-pubescent individuals, but rather prepubescent children, and "pedophilic image" is odd wording because images can't really be pedophilic.

Also, no need to ping me since this page is on my wachlist. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 16:56, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks. I have now put the text in the article. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:33, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Anthony Appleyard, I wasn't stating that I agree with the text being added. I still object per what I stated above. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 04:53, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

There are some sexologists who said that...

banning CP is "not only deprive children of their sexual freedom,but also deprive children of their freedom to show their body and how sexy are them" and "A certain degree of sexual activity is necessary and beneficial for children"(Translated from Chinese:"可见这法律不但剥夺了儿童性交的自由,也剥夺了他们展示自己身体和性感一面的自由...一定程度上的性活动对儿童是必须和有益的"), by Ng Man Lun(吴敏伦),Founding President of World Association of Chinese Sexologists.Should we put it on the article?,see pages 19-22,and I remember that Chinese Sexologist Li Yinhe who also believe that have sex with children is not always harmful,if they are on their own initiative.--So47009 (talk) 08:12, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

It is doubtful it should be added based on this description. Wikipedia has a policy called WP:FRINGE where views/sources that are very small and contradicted by numerous stronger, more reliable sources do not need to be added to an article. Further, the article you posted is in Chinese, making it difficult to verify if it says what you claim it does. It is also difficult to ascertain if Ng Man Lun has any academic credentials or license, if the statement is based on research or just his or her personal opinion, and if it was subject to peer-review. I also could not verify that Li Yinhe ever expressed the view you claim she did. Her work and activism seems to be centered around LGBT rights and changing criminal laws in China that less progressive than most Western countries. Of note is that it is a common tactic of anti-LGBT factions to accuse LGBT people and activists of promoting sex with children in order to discredit/disparage them, since this is universally considered harmful, so this claim is somewhat suspect.Legitimus (talk) 12:51, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Agreed. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 15:46, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Ng Man Lun is a Psychiatrist who studied it at University of Hong Kong,and a registered therapist who has studied sex therapy in US ,see here,a Translated version,;and Li Yinhe pointed out it in problems of sexuality[性的問題],in which she said that the law about Age of consent is harmful for those engage in sexual activity on their own initiative.

digression:This may affect WP:CHILDPRO since it obstruct the sexologists who has those claims and want to editing wikipedia --So47009 (talk) 01:47, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
