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 the mom might have a two year old and still he a milf

Yeah they messed up their logic. They seem to imply people are sexualizing the MILFs kid which is a bit weird.

If the kids make an appearance in the porno, they would have to be 18+. He does specifically point out porno milfs. Although I suppose the kids could just be implied in the event of a porn.

Of course it’s company policy, in the event of a dildo, to never imply ownership of the dildo. We have to use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo

*She, and they are very rarely implied in porn unless it’s in the context of finishing/boarding/imaginary 18+ young adult school.

Pornographers who are above board in any way at all wouldn’t dress a set to imply there is a minor present

I think their logic is more that one of the big archetypal MILFs is “your friend’s hot mom”

Your friend is probably about the same age as you, so if you’re old enough to appear in a porn, your friend is probably is too (and has to be if they appear in the porn at all, even in a non-sexual role)

And the mother would have had to have had your friend at 18 because they want to avoid implying anything about a minor having sex (I don’t know if that last part would actually hold any water, that seems like a bit of a stretch)

This is precisely the context I was speaking to

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.

And then film in a child’s room on a child’s bed.

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

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.

If “half your age, plus seven” gets you the youngest age society will accept, then, “minus seven, times 2” should get you the oldest acceptable age.

So (18-7)*2 is 22. A mom with a 3 year-old is still a mom.

And if that doesn’t suspend your disbelief, you could still slap on “step” to the relationship label and the script writes itself.

That’s conceptually different. You’re taking about why society approves of regarding age differences in dating.

This post is addressing the nuances in legality and plot lines in porn
