Erotica distributed by the underage is also a crime (again both civil and criminal) so IF they were 17 and they send the erotic pic here, then that was a crime.
But yes you cannot enter a BDSM adult shop until you are 21 in most states, and in many you cannont enter an adult shop at all until you are 21. you can legally have sex at 18 (some states allow sex at an earlier age but really only for women) but you cant buy adult toys until you are older. In most states BDSM is a crime in almost all forms. And sometimes is still prosecuted. Sodomy (sex without the intent to procreate) and oral sex are illegal in all but 2 states (it might be only one, Nevada) as well. But as those laws are seen as anti-gay laws they arent enforced anymore. BUT they are still one the books and recently have been made harsher in many states, as an anti-gay measure.
pornography is illegal while erotica, an art form, is legal. Even a light hint of bondage makes it BDSM erotica in America, and illegal to those under 21, to some degree (this is in court right now in like 12 or 15 states and may go to supreme court before its settled).
If you ever get very very bored there are websites that go into great detail about the cases that are pending and the laws of each state. I get that bored sometimes....

And i will not even start on women's 'right to vote' or the wording there of, since one way to read the amendment is that a woman is not a citizen until she marries, and then only through her husband.
