here is an example Frederiks of Hollywood, if there was one 'mainstream site' you would expect to see a nipple it would be there. I mean people would just accept it from a site like that. I could not find one and I checked the ultra sexy section  |
They've been airbrushing nipples out of the bra pictures in the SEARS catalog forever just like they do in your example so it can pass guidelines making it available to anyone. Nothing new there.
The FCC guidelines you've noted for TV don't apply to magazines and movies released in theaters and on disc so the line of what's " Adult " moves over. Personally, I would think the line would be drawn the same as what requires 2257 documentation. Anything less than that reaches into what defines and or differentiates Art or Medical or anything else that contains a nude or partially nude image or likeness.
