Not that the books is pornographic, but if someone is a pedophile I think the book would be very erotic.

Another rather bizarre statement. What's the difference, since you brought it up, between erotic and pornographic?

I don't see why you would consider that a bizarre statement - I think there is a continuum between what might be considered erotic to various people and what might be pornographic. Pornography is very graphic and has the specific and probably sole purpose of sexual titilation. Erotica might be sexually titilating but it can also have an artistic purpose. Thus, a collection in a book of pictures of old world nudes might be considered erotica for some people. The context in this case is that of an accused pedophile, and someone who openly admits he sleeps with young boys in his bed, who has a book like this which features pictures of boys in various poses and various degrees of undress. THe context is creepy. Hell, the pics I've seen from the pic are kind of creepy. what the book does is FETISHIZE young boys. I think that's what makes it erotica for pedophiles and what makes it creepy for most normal people.
