Pinching nipples - exempt or 'sexually explicit'?

Hand down pants/panties, no nudity - exempt or 'sexually explicit'?

Pubic mound on display, no genitals tho - exempt or 'lascivious display of genitals or pubic area'?

not looking for opinions from anybody who hasn't gotten a legal opinion from an actual attorney - looking for the range of opinions various attorneys are giving people on what is exempt content, knowing that an attorney has no more ability to read the minds of the DOJ, a judge or a jury member.

thanks
You bring up very good points and that, I believe, is the point. I've spoken to and listened to no less than six attorneys. Each one has their own interpretation. From what I can gather, if she's touching herself, it can be construed as sexually explicit.

In San Diego, one of the attorneys stated that a fully clothed non nude 17 year old, which is legal......IF she is shown with a camel toe, it is sexually explicit, so you can imagine what is going on with age compliant nudity.

My own attorney advises me to err on the side of extreme caution and tease, which, by the way, Fantasyman's sites used to do. Only tits. No pussy. Nothing that could be interpreted as lascivious in any way, shape or form. I've tried to follow that with my own stuff....tease...and if the surfer wants pleasure, then we can please....inside the members' areas.
