Given that porn can’t sexualize anyone under 18, she would have had to be at least 18 when she conceived her first child.

Since MILFs in porn are generally “my friend’s mom” or something generationally similar, ie the MILF is defined as such by someone the age of her child, said child and their peers must be at least 18 as well.

Therefore, the minimum age for a MILF character in a porn, legally and mathematically, should be 36

    But you’ve forgotten the most important rule of porn: you can slap a “step” label onto anything. So now it’s, “my friend’s ‘step’ mom,” meaning they aren’t bound to actual motherhood age.

    In my opinion, MILFs make more sense to be in the middle adulthood, not too young and not too old, between the mid-thirties and late-fifties. While a young woman could be a mother, she is too young to be a MILF.

    Or 18. They can still be 18 years and 9 months old when delivering a baby.

    Once the baby is born, if the mother is attractive, she is then an 18 year old milf.

    I’m not sure I follow your logic.

      I’m focusing on MILF plots in porn specifically, where if the woman is a mother of an infant, they couldn’t ever (nor would they, should they, would anyone want them to) show her with her child as a maternal figure in that role

    This absolutely fails to account for states where 2 underage minors can conceive. An example two 16 year olds having a baby. If we wait till all parties are 18 that brings the age down to 34.

    If you truly want to do the math, no matter how sickning it may be, all you need to do is find the state with the lowest Romeo and Juliet laws and add 18 to the to the mothers age.

      Incorrect, but I understand the spirit of your argument.

      In the adult industry, it doesn’t matter if the age of consent in a certain state is under 18. 18 USC 2257 dictates that no minors can appear in porn and as either a result of that or out of fear of persuction for obscenity law, no US made/distributed porn can legally depict a character having sex who is under 18. State laws are irrelevant, as are laws outside the US, generally, because US distribution is key for sales

        Nope, still works. In my example after the birth of the child you have to wait 18 years. So it didn’t matter how old the girl was when she has a child after 18 years all parties will be of age.
