this was what i was addressing. i was just making the point that i dont think you are right. penetration in and of itself does not define something as "sexually explicit".
now i finally got annoyed and tried to find the definitions.
unless i am mistaken -the same language for CP and 2257 defining sexually explicit conduct are the same (with the exception that CP has expanded definitions) and defined in TITLE 18 PART I CHAPTER 110 § 2256.
"For the purposes of this chapter, the term?
(2) ?sexually explicit conduct? 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;"
so to address the point you made that you could show a penis next to the mouth - i would say that would be a bad idea. the above definations could be possibly even be read to mean that "
simulated lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area..." would be "sexually explicit"
lascivious \luh-SIV-ee-uhs\, adjective:
1. Lewd; lustful.
2. Tending to arouse sexual desires.
i would not agree with you that it is confusing at all, as you said. all law is largely open to interpretation. that is the nature of the legal system in most western countries and the problem. laws are usually only clarified after being challenged in court. it would be prudent to explore all the possible interpretations and make sure that you do not put yourself in a position to collide with any of them. i would guess that is why people like Steve Lightspeed will not touch anything with a crotch shot - because its not clear yet. ... and if you know or realize its not clear yet... then you already have your answers.
