There are literary publishers who actually include a breakout section in their TOS to clearly define specific types of erotica and what they permit, don't permit, and what they advise against in terms of content.

So are there any Paypal vendors of erotic art that have been doing it successfully with Paypal's explicit consent?

What further complicates things is that unlike Canada, where the Criminal Code is Federal, state laws have varying interpretations and tolerances regarding sexual content.

Shipping erotic art to the US is another hurdle.
