''sexually explicit'' from 2256 means actual or simulated -
(A) sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex;
(B) bestiality;
(C) masturbation;
(D) sadistic or masochistic abuse; or
(E) lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person;
Note that proposed 2257 regulations takes (E) out of the definition.
so, it is conceivable that the sample pic provided would require 2257 statement and records since it can be argued it is showing masturbation (because the graphic is a depiction, and that's what 2257 covers).
use of sexually explicit images in banner advertising could trigger a 2257 requirement.. this is where it all gets so mirky and confusing, especially since this part of the thread is about use of "sexually explicit" images in advertisements.
the interpretations that i have heard so far is that banners with sexually explicit images would have to have 2257 statements and records (which would be an incredible burden and logistical nightmare to deal with, other than don't use sexually explicit imagery).
