45. It really isn't that big of a deal.
I find it distasteful that young adults are being brought up in a world where their bodies are a commodity. But in one fashion or another, that has probably always been true.

There is no permanent scar to be left by the fact that someone has seen your tits or your willy, even in an electronic age where it may be a lasting image.

If a perv is going to be stimulated by looking at a 14 year old girl's tits from a cell phone camera, he's also going to be stimulated by seeing her tits in a sweater. Do we have to put everyone in a burka because they might arouse someone?

Kids are going to do everything adults do. Adults use technology to explore their sexuality and sexual feelings and so will kids. Frankly, we should be more concerned about sexual desensitization to erotica than any other aspect of these phenomena. Soon, you'll see the Playboy centerfold on a postage stamp. There will be nothing left to revere and human sexuality will be reduced to the level of blowing snot into a Kleenex.
