I have a two hundred page book on teen health and sexuality issues that I am publishing online - target audience is 12-17. Can I publish explicit photos of adult genitalia (penis, vulva, breasts) within the pages of this online book? No sex acts or interaction of any sort is displayed; only body parts to accompany the descriptions in the book. An example is a question, "What does a circumcised penis look like? An uncircumcised one?" A picture of each accompanies the answer in the book.
Is it legal to publish these pictures online within a book aimed at minors? If not, would Photoshop-ing them into pencil sketches or diagrams make it legal? What are the alternatives if it is not legal? Which options would be legal to include in a printed version?
The pics are all legal to share; they are off WikiCommons and that is not the issue.
Thanks so much.
