An artificial stimulus is aimed to create a desire and children should be protected from such unsolicited persuasion especially with regard to their own sexuality for as long as they are children at least.

Unsolicited? If the child searches for a porn site, and finds one, that's about as solicited as it gets.

Thank you for showing us yet again how illogical "slippery slope" type arguments can be. By the way, if you're going to use one, the least you can do is show us the steps you're taking.

artificial stimulus is not natural

Oh, is that what "artificial" means? Why does its naturalness have anything to do with morality?

Are you saying that creating a desire for profit is exploitation? I don't know...it's seems a little extreme. But you could very well be right.
