area or specified sexual activity contained in, or consisting of, a picture
or other representation, publication, sound recording, live performance or
film, which by means of posing, composition, format or animated sensual details,

the area of activity.
All obscene printed materials are to be displayed in a manner so as
to restrict the access and exposure of such magazines to persons under 18
years of age. If material is in an area available to the public, such material
