Is a nude adult chatting with a nude child online illegal?

Anything sexual with a child is illegal. So it depends on what this is about and why you are naked. If you are chatting and can not see each other there is nothing that say you are not dressed but then the thing is what are you talking about? Are you talking about being naked and doing sexual things? ILLEGAL! Are you a parent and just came out of the shower and sits naked on a chair skyping with your 4yo who is running around naked because of the heat and you skype about what he did in daycare and granny's birthday? LEGAL! You see the difference? When in doubt - put clothes on and no sex talk!

I mean unless you have his baby then there isn't any proof. Unless yall have pictures and stuff posted on the internet.
