Abstract

Although adult prostitution in Spain is not illegal, child prostitution is. However, as adult prostitution is unregulated, it facilitates child prostitution itself. Pornography shares a status similar to prostitution in Spain: it is not illegal but child pornography is. In theory, all ethical theories and legal systems condemn child prostitution, pornography, and rape worldwide. In practice though, these crimes keep happening nowadays. The author analyzes this topic in relation to Spanish society today through films such as No tengas miedo (2011) by Montxo Armendariz, Cachito (1996) by Enrique Urbizu, Hable con ella (2002) and Atame (1990) by Almodovar, Las edades de Lulu (1990) by Bigas Luna, Alas de mariposa (1991) by Juanma Bajo Ulloa, and Las trece rosas (2007) by Emilio Martinez Lazaro.
