被禁止的性行為與性暴力

互聯網賣淫 1

互聯網已經為賣淫交易開闢了一個新途徑。通過網路攝像頭，即通過直接從一地到另一地傳送圖像的數碼互聯網“網路攝像”，性服務現在能夠得以超越空間距離。在此重申一遍，在妓女與主顧之間並不存在直接的身體接觸。他能夠看見和聽見她在做什麼，但是他不可能觸及到她。然而，她能提供性服務，而他能付錢給她。在那個時候，就存在不同的互聯網賣淫（internet prostitution）方式。最通常的情形如下：

其中一些這種照片、影片、錄影和攝影由個人所製作，一些則由大公司所完成。一些網站甚至提供由喜歡露體的或正尋找性伴的非專業（業餘）人員製作的免費圖片或攝像。事實上，其它所有的性刺激材料只對預付的信用卡主顧開放，他們必須證明其成人身份。

這種規則重要的例外情形是在任何年齡，包括十幾歲的青少年，私下裏個人之間的網路攝影視屏連接。其中一些人利用這樣的互聯網連接相互觀看脫衣露體或手淫，不過，他們當然並不會為此而相互支付任何費用，因而它與賣淫無關。他們的行為是否合法，這得依不同的國家而定。不過，如果法律把“兒童”定義為“小於18周歲的任何人”，並禁止傳播和擁有“兒童色情材料”，那麼，至少這些十幾歲的青少年違法了這個法律。當這些十幾歲的青少年大概還沒有意識到的時候，他們因而同時成為犯罪者和受害者。

Prohibited Sexual Behavior and Sexual Violence

Internet Prostitution 1

The internet has opened up new opportunities for the business of prostitution. The sexual service can now be provided over long distances by web cams, i.e. digital “web cameras” that transmit images through the internet directly from one place to another. Here again, there is no direct body contact between prostitute and customer: He can see and hear what she does, but he cannot touch her. Nevertheless, she can provide sexual services, and he can pay her. At this time, there are different forms of internet prostitution. The most common are these:

1. Sexually explicit still photos
2. Pre-recorded films and videos
3. Webcams without the possibility of interaction
4. Interactive webcams

Some of these are produced by private individuals and some by large companies. Some web sites even offer free pictures or videos made by non-professionals (amateurs) who enjoy exposing themselves or are looking for partners. Virtually all other sexually stimulating materials are available only to pre-paying credit card customers who must prove that they are adults.
An important exception to this rule is the personal webcam connection between private individuals of any age, including teenagers. Some of these use such connections to watch each other strip or masturbate, but, of course, they do not charge each other any fees for it, and thus it has nothing to do with prostitution. Whether their actions are otherwise legal depends on their different countries. However, at least the teenagers are in violation of laws that define a “child” as “anyone under the age of 18” and prohibit the transmission and possession of “child pornography”. While they are probably not aware of it, these teenagers thus become perpetrators and victims at the same time.
