People into porno, like you, probably, will try to justify it in many ways. There is no need to justify the use of one's rights. So long as my viewing or reading of particular material harms no one, I do not need to justify such viewing or reading. Do you have to justify your right of religious expression or your right to bear arms to anyone?
You are the one who appears to be proposing curtailments of my rights. The onus is on you to justify why such curtailment is Constitutional. I do not need to justify anything.

Fair enough. To equate someone who is mentally disabled through no fault of their own with someone (e.g. XR7) who (presumably) is capable of rational thought but declines to engage in it is terribly unfair to the former.

The real distinction between slavery and indentured servitude is that offspring of slaves are slaves, and the offspring of the indentured are free.
What if the contract stipulated that as well? By definition, a valid contract involves the signatories. I could sign a "contract" requiring Bill Clinton to tell the truth from now on, but it would not be binding on him.

When couples choose to sterilize themselves temporarily (using "birth control") and engage in intercourse, they are lying with their bodies, on the one hand, acting in "union" but at the same time rejecting the natural flowering of that expression. When people choose to numb their pain sense temporarily (using "anesthesia") and permit themselves to be cut open, they are lying with their bodies, on the one hand, submitting to "surgery" but at the same time rejecting the natural result of that action.
(Nope, you don't get to dismiss this as a strawman -- that very argument was, in fact, advanced in all sincerity on religious grounds.)

Bill Clinton is not legally underage nor are you his legal guardian...
