what motivates adults to want to turn a teenager into a sexual object? why would people try to dress their toddler up like a bratz doll or do a bedroom sot of a 15 year old? why do so many men subscribe legal to teen porn sites? the girls are 18 but always with the disclaimer that they are barely legal. they pick girls that do not look like 18 going on 20 but 18 going on 16. then dress them up in school girl uniforms before they instruct them to have sex on a school desk with a 50 year old man. the pictures of MC are not pleasure material for the pedo's that like 5 year olds but it is for the dirty old men that love the idea of sex with teen girls. the fantasy of sex with a girl that looks 15/16/17 is a billion dollar industry. it is sad enough when the girl is 18 and we play up the fantasy. when we take actual 15 year old girls and stay just this side of the law in using their sex appeal it is wrong.
My personal opinion is that men wanting to have sex with girls just turning into women is as old as the history of mankind. In that long history, it is only recent that this has even been deemed wrong (not terribly long ago, a pregnant 14 year-old woman was not considered odd or outrageous).
Our collective unconscious on the subject will take a long time to catch up with our current views. That's why it's a billion dollar industry - because it is standard fantasy fare.
I even believe that "normal" males can have this fantasy. When it's older "normal" males, I think it is often rooted in a desire for youth - to possess it and recapture some of your own. The lure of purity and innocence will always be a powerful aphrodesiac to humans possessing bodies that whither and die and minds that become jaded and world-worn.
These classic yearnings are present in all types of our art from Lolita to American Beauty. We can say "Eww - yucky - that's gross and sick" or we can explore the underlying realities in the face of the progressions of our own morals, culture and beliefs.
Yes, she is 15 and off-limits is today's society, but according to nature, she's a woman.
Some think Milo has been unduly sexualized in these photos. I would posit that a fair number of men can't help but to at least slightly sexualize Milo - and every other cute, young thing splashed across our media consciousness - everytime she appears before them no matter what she is wearing.
That's just a long winded way of saying, like it or not, Milo became sexualized the moment she entered the business she is in. Many if not most heterosexual men will sexualize beautiful women because men want to have sex with us. If they see such a woman splashed all over the place, they are going to sexualize her.
Now, mature men (and women) know the difference between fantasy and reality and are intelligent enough to possess boundaries. Those men (and again - I believe this is most men) would never assault a young girl.
I do not see sex in those pictures. Honestly, that one of her in the sheet looks like me (except much cuter!) in the morning stumbling out of bed to get myself and my family up and out for the day. That is not a sexy time for me. However, I can understand why people see sex in those pictures.
As others have pointed out, this photo is so much less risque than your standard glossy mag fare (many with models her age) that it's hard for me to get worked up over the subject. She seems more well-grounded than most of the cogs in the entertainment business machine. To get rid of our concerns about this subject, we would need to get rid of all people under the age of 18 that participate in that machine. I do not see that happening in my lifetime.
