What is the current state of the law on "sexually explicit language"?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Y.S. (In re Y.S.), A154412 (Cal. App. 2019):
The same can be said of the prohibition on material that contains "sexually explicit language." The phrase would encompass, for example, many lauded works of literature, as well as "safer sex instructions . . . written in street language so that the teenage receiver can understand them." (Reno v. ACLU (1997) 521 U.S. 844, 853.)
