[edit] POV issue
This article currently suffers from a tendency to amalgamate child pornography and pornographic depictions of sexual activity among siblings. E.g., after having established subdivisions, the article goes on to say that “Many argue that it encourages the sexual abuse of children and rape”. I presume this is supposed to refer to child pornography, but in the current version it refers to all depictions of sexual activity between siblings. We need to apply clearer distinctions. Also, the article is full of ‘weasel words’ and unsourced statements. E.g. “Many argue that”, it “is often regarded as mainstream”, “it is widely available”. While such statements lean towards a particular POV, they are hardly aiding the reader in understanding the subject matter. In any case, they should be sourced. And obviously this sentence is problematic: “Many argue that it encourages the sexual abuse of children and rape, and religious conservatives see its presence on the internet as sinful.”. This is a POV in any case. Frankly I find it hard to see that a pornographic film, which claims that two of the actors are relatives, should spur sexual abuse of children. Accordingly, I have tagged the article. Alfons Åberg 19:38, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- OK, I’ve made an attempt to fix some of the problems. I have removed two un-sourced statements (“Porn depicting sex between identical twins or real-life siblings is often regarded as mainstream, although it also exploits the same theme.” and “Despite this, it is widely available on the Internet.”).

- And I've removed one clearly POV sentence ("Many argue that it encourages the sexual abuse of children and rape, and religious conservatives see its presence on the internet as sinful."). Alfons Åberg 21:05, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- The NPOV situation should be improved by now, so I've removed the POV tag. Alfons Åberg 21:08, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Should the statement 'If one or more partners are minors it constitutes child pornography' be in this article? If one of the partners in ANY TYPE of porn is a minor, then it constitutes child pornography. I think it should be removed, or added to every other article of porn on the site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.5.67 (talk) 21:13, August 24, 2007 (UTC)
