Talk:Sexual explicit conduct (dictionary)

Question: Are Sexual explicit conduct, explicit sexual conduct, and Sexually explicit conduct the same? Or are they used to describe two different things under the law? --Etenne 14:36, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

No, they are not the same. But I'd have to think very carefully before I can explain the difference. "Explicit" means "stated clearly or precisely," and when talking about sex, it means "describing or representing sexual activity in a direct and detailed way."

Something that is "explicitly [that's an adverb] sexual" means something that is "clearly sexual". Something that is "sexually explicit" means something different.

And I just realized that I am still too tired right now to figure it all out! I'll have to get back to you on that, OK? Sorry... User4 (talk) 15:02, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Uh, oh. I just realized that an edit that I made to that entry did not get saved. And I've got well over a hundred different tabs open in Firefox. I don't know if the tab is still open where I made the edit. It will take quite a while to figure out exactly what went wrong. I might have to do the research again, and then do the editing all over again, too. Hmm... multitasking is not always the best way to do things, they tell me. User4 (talk)
