A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

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

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.

That's a mother then, not a MILF trope
