You cannot have "sex" with a child or a slave since it is impossible for either to consent, let alone a damn child slave. This is why it must be called what it is: (child) rape. "Sex" is not a clinical term like "intercourse," but one that directly means consent and is loaded with universally strong, positive associations (e.g., natural, intensely desirable), to the point that is on par with "joy." To equate the commercialization of rape, let alone child rape, with consent and all these positive associations is beyond disturbing. All it does is sanitize or, even worse, sexualize the hellish reality that is rape.

Please call it by name: (child) rape trafficking or slavery.
