Welcome to Classy Boudoir, where we're all about celebrating sensuality, beauty, and empowerment through our modest approach to Boudoir photography. We're going to look at the legal side of things and discuss how we stay compliant with 18 U.S.C. 2257. A crucial law that governs the production, distribution, and sale of sexually explicit content.
Understanding 18 U.S.C. 2257: The What and Why:
Let's look at the law known as 18 U.S.C. 2257. This law sets the rules for anyone involved in the creation, distribution, or sale of sexually explicit content. At its core, it mandates the maintenance of specific records concerning the age of performers. Our top priority is ensuring that all our clients are over 18 adults. We meticulously verify their age and keep records handy for law enforcement to inspect, should the need ever arise.
But the thing to remember: 18 U.S.C. 2257 is about regulation, not possession. It's a tool to ensure that those creating explicit content adhere to the rules. The law does provide exemptions for non-commercial artists and educational content, but for us, staying compliant is a core principle.
Defining Sexually Explicit Content: A Closer Look:
What exactly is "sexually explicit content" according to this law? It includes nudity, partial exposure of genitals, and breasts. Things like fetish, BDSM, and explicit depictions of sexual activities, often found in pornography and adult entertainment, also fall under this law.
Our Approach to Boudoir: Keeping It Classy and Compliant:
So, how do we ensure that our boudoir photography stays well within legal boundaries? We keep it classy, and we do what could be considered "boudoir light" in our industry. This means our focus is on creating soft-core images that highlight a woman's beauty, radiance, sensuality, and personality through photographic art. Our boudoir sessions aren't about creating content for anyone's entertainment; they're about the empowering experience for the woman in front of the camera. What she chooses to do with her images afterward is entirely her choice.
We love to use accessories and props that enhance the experience, such as strings of pearls, bouquets of flowers, Goddess Crowns, fun sunglasses, and sassy shoes. However, we draw a line when it comes to props that could be considered BDSM or fetish in nature. You won't find spreader bars, handcuffs, paddles, ticklers, whips, chains, or any such items in our studio. Weapons of any kind are also strictly off-limits as props during photoshoots.
No Couples Boudoir: A Compliance Choice:
One way we maintain compliance with the law is by not offering couples boudoir sessions. We also don't allow partners to be present during our clients' sessions, even for "moral support" or as observers
Empowering and Compliant:
At Classy Boudoir, compliance with 18 U.S.C. 2257 is as important as celebrating the beauty and empowerment of our clients. By keeping explicit props out of the picture, maintaining a classy approach, and ensuring a safe and private environment, we guarantee that our boudoir sessions not only empower but also stay firmly within legal guidelines. So, if you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and celebrate your sensuality, reach out to us today!
