Yeah, the United States law draws a very gray line when it comes to underage nudity, but it's better to be safe than sorry because sometimes it's not the law you'll need to worry about, it's the parents.


I'll take my chances cause there my parents.

UNITED STATES CRIMINAL CODE ON UNDERAGE NUDITY:

18 U.S.C. 2256 – “CHILD PORNOGRAPHY” DEFINED

Child pornography is defined as any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, or computer or computer-generated image or picture, whether made or produced by electronic, mechanical, or other means, of sexually explicit conduct, where:

1.The production of such visual depiction involves the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct;

2. Such visual depiction is a digital image, computer image, or computer-generated image that is, or is indistinguishable from, that of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct

3. Such visual depiction has been created, adapted, or modified to appear that an identifiable minor is engaging in sexually explicit conduct.


Basically, nudity is legal in an artistic way or humorous way with the person being under 18, but sexual nudity is not. It is a very fine line to walk, and that’s why many people don’t. So yes, your ass would be legal say if it was a girl "mooning" the camera with no sexual connotations attached to it. Non the less, Id be careful. So far in my work experience I have not come across a case like this yet, but I do know if someone tries to peruse it, even if the scene or picture is completely legal things can get sticky.


Okay one clip is my brother shooting a bottle rocket out of his ass, the second clip is me wearing a thong of drug free stickers and jumping in front of my mom 'n shit.


1.Depends if the shot shows the actual penetration of the bottle rocket in his ass, although, it is implied its in there, and could be deamed sexual cause its penetration.

2. I have seen that clip of u, and its fine.

Its not really grey at all, the law clearly states what is legal and not. If its of a sexual nature its illegal, if its not, its legal.
