¹ Sexually explicit, now a buzzword intended to elicit shock and horror in the reader or listener, in the past meant "something describing or representing explicit sexual activity," i.e., actual sexual activity, such as the penetration of the vagina, anus, or mouth by a penis. Currently this buzzword is used by antisexuals and sexophobes to describe any representation of nudity or partial nudity, even though no real sexual activity is actually taking place. A photo which includes the exposed breast of a girl or woman, or a photo showing the buttocks of any person, is now (incorrectly) referred to as a "sexually explicit photo". Photos which are "sexted" by young people which include any kind of nudity or partial nudity are now described as being "sexually explicit photos" even though no genuine sexual activity is taking place in the photos at all! What was formerly regarded as simple nudity is now considered to be "sexually explicit," and, by extension, if the material involves a minor then the material is considered to be pornographic. |
