I also disagree with those who believe that softcore pics and video will be exempt. Sexually explicit imo will be naked pics and penetration will not be a qualifying factor. Ask any mom and dad across the nation if they want their 6 yr old looking at a webpage of a naked girl and they will likely say no, and it will be because to them its sexually explicit.
I totally disagree with this 2257 spells out exactly what sexually explicit content is. Mommy and daddy don?t get to decide what the definition of sexually explicit is. It is defined for them in 2257. As I stated above the only thing to watch for are depictions that could reasonably be mistaken for sexually explicit. I gave the example of a girl with a hand over part of her puss because the viewer of such a depection could reasonably infer that she was masturbating instead of covering up. One thing I will say is that I hate to hear webmasters use the term softcore interchangeably with the term non-sexually explicit. Let me make it clear 2257 provides a specific definition of what is sexually explicit. It is not good enough to follow your seat of the pants definition of softcore. For example a softcore photo of a couple having intercourse, but not showing the actual penetration still falls under 2257. Furthermore if you take a sexually explicit image and put a star over or simply blur out the penetration you still fall under 2257 because it is still obvious what is occurring.
